        nor be of service to their family or tribe, let them leave it.
        None shall be kept as a child forever.  Better that they be 
        banished if they cannot grow in mind.
        INITIATION
        NO PERSON MAY BE CALLED TO INITIATION MORE THAN THREE TIMES.
        NO PERSON MAY BE INITIATED WHO HAS LESS THAN 20 YEARS OF LIFE 
        LEFT TO THEM AT THE TIME OF INITIATION.
        No High Priestess or High Priest of the WICCA can cause an 
        initiation to take place.  Initiation is in the hands of the Lord 
       
and Lady.  The teacher can only provide the environment that will 
        aide in the initiation if the God and Goddess so will it.
        If one questions the validity of their own initiation, there can 
        be but one answer, the initiation did not take place.  An 
        initiation by the Gods will be remembered.
        Let your judgment on matters which you make be fit to the size of 
        the case, not to your feelings.  Let your heart not rule your 
        mind, nor mind your heart, but bear a balance as has been taught 
        you.
        Not all are chosen for the tribe, nor are all in the tribe of one 
        family, nor are all in the family to be initiated, nor are all 
        the initiated to be ordained.  Your yoke is to be as strong as 
        you can bear, but no stronger.
