Would you consider the initiation of a Chela a ritual?

Subject: Theos-World "Le Droit" Versus Adyar
Carl,
Thanks.
Of course, there are modern masonic organizations which claim to be "ancient".
Each corporation has its own legitimizing discourse, etc.
But for me it is enough to see that HPB made something very different from involving herself in the masonic movement.
She studied the masonic philosophy, as she studied every other important philosophy around the world, and she created the theosophical movement as the initial nucleus for the preparation of future civilizations.
As Geoffrey Farthing and all available evidences indicate, she was never initiated in any ritualistic organization in her 19th century lifetime.
Carlos.
