Mastering Ritual
-
Hello,
My question is simple. What is the best way for one to master a ritual? I am currently performing the star ruby and middle pillar daily and would like to know what should be done in order to get as much as I possibly can out of them.Thanks,

The main answer is: (1) First, be sure you are doing it correctly. (2) Then just keep repeating it. Set a time period of, say, 30 days (or in some cases 3 months or 6 months) before evaluating it. And, of course, keep ongoing diary records.
Soror Meral's rule of thumb guidance used to be: Do it every day for a month before you presume to know anything about it.
The remainder has to do with what you bring to it - so I'd have to say that authentic initiation in a contacted Order is the best other main ingredient you can bring to this.

Would OTO initiation help?

"Would OTO initiation help?"
Trick question?!
There are a number of orders, fraternities and organizations that would proverbially fit the bill. The O.T.O. is a "fraternal" organization. It is not there function to serve the magically-driven aspirant, especially within the academic function of the word. An organization like the Temple of Thelema would probably be more appropriate.

i think its a great idea to go to the OTO, and very quite possibly there maybe members there that could help you. i can tell you the 1st time i went to a magickal group of ppl, whihc was the OTO, i had been practicing magick for about 7 years. and i thought they would think i was some type of magick genius or guru, boy was i wrong. but through them i learnt most the rituals i was doing i was fucking alot of stuff up, as well as saying almost every magickal name completely wrong. my desicion to check out the OTO was a life changing one i will never regret.
but with that said i was lucky enough to check out a very wonderful OTO body, and since then i have seen bodies that was much less than wonderful. each body has its own feel, is own life. so go check one out and see how it goes. there is far so much to gain and the only thing to loose is the time you spent checking it out.
1 other thing i would recommend is to go to at least 3 events before deciding if this is for you. give it a chance. and you should know within 3 events.93s
