The Outer Court

Petition to Join

No one is recruited into the Craft. You come of your own free will, or you do not come. If you have read the Teachings and you are willing to be held to them, petition below.

Not ready to petition? Sit in the House of Shu first — the Order's free weekly study circle. Study a full cycle, then knock.

Before You Petition

What Is Required

  • You will keep what is entrusted to you in confidence.
  • You will hold yourself to Ma'at — in your dealings, your speech, and your record.
  • You are willing to read, and to be examined on what you have read.
