As a Minerval, what dues do I have to pay?
A. There are two sets of dues: 1) U.S. Grand Lodge dues. These are paid yearly, and the amount depends on degree. At Minerval, you will pay $72 which breaks down to $36 for U.S.G.L. annual dues, and $36 is paid to the lodge to cover initiation expenses. All O.T.O. members in the U.S. are expected to pay U.S.G.L. dues. When you pay your $72 for your Minerval initiation, you are then paid up at U.S.G.L. for one year. 2) Local Body dues. At Scarlet Woman Lodge, dues are $20/month (or $240/year). All members of the Lodge are expected to pay dues. If you do not wish to affiliate with SWL, you can still pay dues to U.S.G.L. and remain a member of the Order in good standing.
