Self-initiation
If there is no school or lineage - you have to self-initiate
Do it in your own life, in your imagination
In our modern world, in Kali Yuga, there aren’t really any schools or traditions remaining
You pretty much have to do it on your own
But you have the resources to do it - the books and knowledge and traditions on the internet
And you always have the guiding teacher of the mythic tradition, that transmits the mysteries encloaked in story
The Girding of the Sword • Knighting as Spiritual Consecration
Vigil in the night at the chapel
Taking the oaths and vows
Receiving armor, horse, sword
Setting forth on the sacred quest
The Knighting Ceremony
Choosing the Grail Path
Knighting Ceremony initiation to Knighthood
When is a knight in training officially knighted?
The ceremony kneeling sword tapped on shoulders
He swears oaths He receives a sword, armor, steed, He is given a charge, a mission, a duty He swears allegiance to his King and Queen He takes vow of chastity, chivalry,
A knight without honor is not a knight The combining of the warrior energy with a sacred morality and truthfulness
Choosing the Grail Path
Nōn gladiō, sed grātiā “Not by the sword but by grace.”
