It is quite extraordinary how today you can find initiates …

It is quite extraordinary how today you can find initiates everywhere you go, even in clubs and other such haunts. And how do you recognize them ? Well, it is quite simple, because they themselves proclaim : ‘I am an initiate !' Some even add that they have reached the seventh, eighth or ninth level of initiation ; much to the delight of the naïve and undiscerning who imagine they have found a real live initiate able to award them with initiatic diplomas within a just few days. In the past the identity of an initiate was hidden from all except those who were sincerely searching, and possessed true discernment. The fact that they were were initiates was never vaunted : they remained private, unknown, hidden, like the Hermit on the ninth Tarot card. The old man holding a lamp, shielding it in the folds of his large coat to screen it from the crowd's eyes – that is the image of a true initiate.
