– I am +18 years old

GDPR: With this application I allow the Pantheon and the Pretelea Council of the Temple of Chrysalis to keep and handle the information that I have provided for the membership of the temple. The information can be saved, used, accessed and modified digitally through Google Drive or other cloud services.  I understand that my information can be used to handle my initiation process, to manage my membership, to fetch information about my wishes and, when needed, to contact me. In case there are news or announcements about the Temple, they can be sent to me. I may request the deletion of my personal information, but acknowledge that doing so may limit the Temple’s ability to provide me membership rights; and in some cases may constitute a termination of my membership and a permanent ban to any of our services, events and social platforms.

The Pretelea -stage will last 2 years. During the trial period, the Pretelea has limited access to the gatherings of the Temple of Chrysalis, in order to determine their fit for the membership of the Temple. Members of the Temple are expected to be of pure intentions and the Temple wishes to weed out any unwanted people who have the potential to be harmful to the harmony of the Temple. After the Pretelea council is convinced that the candidate is a good fit for the Temple, they can give their recommendation – which leads to the next step: dinner with the Luminary. During this formal dinner, the candidate will be interviewed by the Pantheon. The dinner measures the chemistry between the candidate and the Pantheon. If everything goes well, the candidate will receive an official invitation to become a member of the Temple of Chrysalis.

Initiation ritual is an aesthetically built occasion, in which the Pre-Telea becomes a Telea Chrysalid, a fully fledged member and follower of the Temple of Chrysalis. The initiation ritual is led by a master of ceremony, who has been specifically appointed by a member of the higher clergy, Archon or Luminary.  The permission to be the master of ceremony for an initiation ritual can only be given to positions starting from Hiereus Megas and above. Under exceptional circumstances, a Hiereus who has been taught to perform the initiation of the first degree can be given permission to initiate. The initiation ritual can vary slightly based on the individual, but the main themes are part of every initiation.

As a symbol of change, the Pre-Telea preparing for their initiation changes a part of their appearance before the initiation. They need to choose clothing that symbolises previous life and must be ready to let the clothing be destroyed during the initiation ritual.

Initiate has a multitude of responsibilities and practicalities that they will be instructed before the initiation. The initiate is responsible for making sure they get the instructions. Some of the practicalities include:

• The initiate must make the Luminary formally aware of their initiation date, place, and any further information they deem important regarding the occasion.
• The initiate must change their appearance before the initiation. The change must be something permanent. The change can be made only after the candidate has been informed about their initiation in an official manner.
• The initiate is responsible for any costs related to the ritual. The Initiate can request the members of the Temple to participate in the possible rent of the venue, but cannot demand it.

In the case that any Telea Chrysalid determines that the applying Pre-Telea is not worthy of their initiation or has discovered other evidence pertaining to why the initiation should not go forward, they have the right to veto the initiation. A veto will halt the initiation process and results in immediate counsel regarding whether to carry on with the initiation or cancel it.

Luminary has the right to modify, hasten, lengthen or remove steps in the initiation process. The three main principles of the initiation are to make sure the initiate is ready to commit to the Temple, to signify this moment with a ritual and to function as a security gateway for the Temple. On the occasion that the previously mentioned qualifications have already been met or things can be arranged in a better manner, the Luminary has the right to make any exceptions regarding the initiation process.
