  • ☉ in 8° ♌ : ☽ in 8° ♈ : Anno IVxviii æræ novæ

Attendance

  • Lodge members of the appropriate degree are welcome to attend.
  • We are also happy to extend our hospitality to initiates from outside our valley.
  • Please contact the Lodge Secretary for more information.

Note: The candidate(s) for each initiation are different people. It would take 3 years at a minimum for someone to go through the whole series as a candidate.
