What Petitioning Means
The Outer Court is the first of the three courts of the temple. You are received there as a seeker of Kemet's (ancient Egypt's) initiatic tradition, given the first-degree studies, and known to the Order by name.
Brothers and Sisters petition on equal terms. What is asked of you is age, honesty, a commitment to Ma'at, and the willingness to finish what you begin.
