Following the analogy of an ancient initiatory temple, you have spent three months as a Postulant, learning the most basic principles of the so-called “Mysteries.” You have been observed and found deserving of being permitted to continue to the next part of the temple, namely, the Atrium, or outer chamber to the main temple itself.
