In anthropology, an age set is a social category or corporate social group, consisting of people of similar age, who have a common identity, maintain close ties over a prolonged period, and together pass through a series of age-related statuses. This is in contrast to an age grade, through which people pass individually over time. While a year group or class in a school could be regarded as a simple example of an age set (e.g. 'Class of 2004'), the term is most commonly used to refer to systems in tribal societies. The phenomen ...

The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor was an initiatic occult organisation that first became public in late 1884, although according to an official document of the order ("Origin and Object of the HBL", see Godwin et al, 1995, pp.92-97) it begun its work in 1870. According to this document, authored by Peter Davidson, the order was established by Max Theon, who when in England was initiated as a Neophyte by "an adept of the serene, ever-existing and ancient Order of the original H. B. of L." (Ibid p.95) The Order's relation, if any, with the mysterious "Brotherhood of Luxor" t ...

In 188 BC, Paculla admitted men for the first time to participate - although it is now believed that men had participated before that. The first men to be initiated were her sons, Minius and Herennius Cerrinius. She also had ordered the festivities to take place by night instead of by day, and instead of three days in a year, five days of initiation in each month were appointed. Finally, participants of the ceremonies were all sorts: men and women, young and old, noble and common people, free and slaves, in a freedom of wine and sex. Everyth ...

The original campus of Oglethorpe College was located at Midway, just south of the city of Milledgeville, then the state capital. The school was built and, at that time, governed by the Presbyterian Church. The American Civil War led to the school's closing from 1862 to 1866. The college followed the relocation of the capital to Atlanta and, in 1870, began holding classes at the present site of Atlanta City Hall. Plagued by financial difficulties, however, the school closed its doors two years later. Ogletho ...

These secrets are not to be profaned (pro + fanum "beyond the fane, or religious precinct"). By their very nature mysteries are ineffable, beyond what can be expressed in words, or esoteric. As in Gnosticism, gnosis, "knowledge", is conveyed experientially, thus mysteries and mystery religions do not produce a body of scripture that is claimed to be "revealed" by the prophet of a deity.

First and foremost, the Yazidi have a highy cryptic religion, and might in fact be crypto-pagans. That is, they have had to suppress and hide many aspects of their religion from the dominant Muslims around them. Thus, only the initiated actually know the full theology, even among the Yazidi. In 'going cryptic', they have adopted Arabic terminology, and thus refer to their leaders as 'sheiks', for example. They have also come under criticism by Muslims for not being a 'People of the Book', and in response to that have stated that they do, in ...
