proximity to Pronaoi

[veritas_in_nox]

To seek initiation into A.'.A.'., do I have to be in the area of one of the Pronaoi listed on the thelema.org website?

That's not a requirement, no.

But you do have to complete a formal Student period in one or another way, and be within reasonable proximity of an available Neophyte.

To be clear, am I correct that one completes the formal Student period on their own, then attempts to affiliate with the A.'.A.'. ?

No. - The details would depend on the exact form of fulfillment of the Student stage that one undertook.

When/how does one find out if they are close enough to a neophyte?

To keep it short, is it best to contact the A.'.A.'. one wishes to affiliate with to discuss the Student stage?

[Jim Eshelman]

Absolutely.

Thank you for your help, Jim.

Ditto to Avshalom's question.
