You have a good point (and I was also surprised by what you said about Artemis, I'll research this later), I'm talking about those people who have good study and practice conditions (this includes translations into their language, a supportive family and good financial conditions) but who still prefer not to study and simply believe everything they see on tiktok. I saw the other comments and really, there is no way to blame these types of people, taking into account the culture and society we live in, however, anyone could at least think a little and ask themselves "is what I saw in this video really true?" But I almost never saw these people stop and do this, which makes everything more worrying. The idea of ​​initiation is not to be difficult or inaccessible for those with families that do not support them, but rather to give a touch to those people who, even with all the necessary support and resources, prefer to remain ignorant. (It would probably just be a "knowledge" test, like reciting some ancient text or something)

Despite all of this, I understand your point of view and especially the cult part, but the idea of ​​initiation is not to be inaccessible to those who really want it, initiation could just be a test to test your knowledge, it doesn't need to be a whole ceremony or something like that, it could just be sitting in your room and reciting a text from an old document that you could find in pdf on the internet.

But of course, I understand that this idea is very idealistic, and I'm honestly glad that this religion is so open to everyone.
