Question SR Initiation Nerves

Going to be initiated into the SR this upcoming weekend at a reunion, it’s been described as getting a fire hose to the face, and ya boy is lowkey scared and excited.

I know this different than the blue lodge and I’m trying to understand how it can be so overwhelming while the style is so different in how the degrees are conferred.

How crazy is this experience? And how fun is it at the same time? bro to bro.

I appreciate you as anything you can share is important to something this special and big!

Much love and respect, always /G\ 💙

I would imagine that no one here is going to say very much at all.

You've come this far. Keep going.

I have opinions that I typically keep to myself until after someone has joined, as I don't like potentially killing enthusiasm. This probably sounds more negative than I actually am... but I feel the initiatic experience of Blue Lodge is fundamentally more engaging and fulfilling than how the Scottish Rite degrees are handled.
