Rites of Passage

  1. Practitioner Initiation: The period of time (usually between 10-12 years of age) that takes place after Sacred Choice has been implemented, but before the Practitioner starts their Pkin Cycle; this is the stage where things like Archetype names are created, Cycle Timeline Diagrams such as the Spiral Calendar are drawn, the Bracket Duration Formula is explained, and the Practitioner/Mentor choose the physical attributes of the Archetypes, in order to prepare for the Pkin Cycle​

  2. Real-Time Pkin Cycle Initiation Reevcie: The Practitioner's 12th birthday, in which they receive (“reevcie” pronounced REHV-see), acquire or create their first Physical Pkin Archetype, thus beginning the Pkin Cycle​​​

    1. Retroactive Pkin Cycle: Basically the same as the Real-Time Pkin Cycle - but instead of starting on their 12th birthday, the Practitioner starts using the tradition of receiving, acquiring, or creating Physical Archetypes based on the different parts of their personality either midway thr​ough or after the timeframe of the 12-24 age range, with Archetypes still representing the formative teen/young adult timeframe. This can take place at any age above 12 years and span any length of time. See Physical Reception Schedules to learn more about the different variations of this.

    2. Wisdom Reevcie: The twelfth and final Reevcie (and the last in the Attunement Phase), which takes place on the Practitioner’s 23rd birthday, when they receive, acquire or create their last Physical Archetype

  3. Cycle Commemoration: A ceremony that takes place on or after the Practitioner’s 24th birthday, which symbolizes the totality of their Pkin Cycle and officially closes this chapter of their life

  4. Pkin Wedding: A number of different types of wedding ceremonies for Pkinists that symbolize the caretaking of the Archetypes of a Practitioner's Twin Flame or Soulmate, and honoring the way they interact and integrate with each other. So far, the only types of Pkin wedding ceremonies in existence are the Beoiwt Tere (which places a lot of focus on integration hierarchy and the Areas of Growth) and the Secla Ceilrc (which focuses more on balance as well as integration), but Practitioners are allowed to conceptualize their own traditions if existing ones aren't a good fit for them.

  5. Mentor Initiation: The stage where the parent of a new willing Practitioner (or another adult 24 years of age or older) makes the commitment to guiding them through their Pkin Cycle - either in part or in whole - and takes the Mentor's Oath; this stage can also overlap with the Practitioner Initiation stage, meaning that the Mentor is also responsible for explaining and helping the Practitioner prepare the aforementioned Nomenclature, Cycle Timeline Diagrams, Physical Archetype attributes, Physical Reception Schedules,  etc. They are also responsible for taking the tenant of Sacred Choice very seriously by not forcing the person to become a Practitioner in the first place if they don’t wish to.

  6. Consultant Initiation: The stage where a Pkinist ages 24 years or older (who either has been a Practitioner or has not) is initiated into the position of mediating relationships between Practitioners and Official Mentors, and helping the Practitioner make transitions from one Mentor to another if they wish to. This job is very important, because it helps protect Practitioners from potential abuse of the Mentor position and provides a safety net in case things aren't working out in other ways. Consultants may also officiate Pkin weddings.

  7. Death, Burial and Archetype Legacy: After a former Practitioner has passed away, their body may be buried and a funeral may be held for them in any way they may have specified before they died. After that, if they specified in their will that they wanted it, each of their Archetypes are carefully stored and taken to the Pkin Memorial Museum (which is not yet built). An exhibit form is then filled out for the deceased Practitioner by a surviving family member, which details all the information about them and their Archetypes. If one has been written, a copy of their Allegories are also included. Then, the Archetypes are placed in a display case with the provided information, including their names, their personalities, their relationships and a copy of the Allegories, which is displayed as an open book on a stand that Museum visitors can flip through. Also included in the exhibit is the Practitioner's obituary (which covers the usual important details of their life and family, as well as any notable contributions they made to Pkinism), and a photo of them. Copies of their Allegories book may also be sold in the Museum gift shop.
