<p>Peluchio: </p> <hr /> <div>{{MTP}}<br /> <br /> {{stub}}<br /> <br /> Coming from the Latin ''initiare'', '''initiation''' implies a beginning. The related term, '''initiate''', means to begin or start a particular action, event, circumstance, or happening. But it is also an ending as existence on one level drops away in an ascension to the next.<br /> <br /> An initiation is also a ceremony by which a person is introduced into a society, or other organized body, especially the rite of admission into a secret society or order.<br /> <br /> Normally an initiation rite would imply a shepherding process where those who are at a higher level guide the initiate through a process of greater exposure of knowledge. This may include the revelation of secrets, usually reserved for those at the higher level of understanding.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> A large portion of this text was originally taken from: Wikipedia.
