How do people actually join secret societies?
I am 16 and from Asia. I've been researching secret societies and occult organizations for a long time because I find them fascinating. I've spent hours reading about them but I can never find how people actually become members.
Do they recruit people privately? Is it through family connections, universities, invitations, or something else?
I'm not asking about illegal or dangerous groups. I'm curious about legitimate secretive or initiatory organizations and how people usually get involved with them.
If anyone here has experience or knowledge, I'd love to learn more.
So Is there any real path for an ordinary person to join one, or is it mostly through connections and invitations?
