How do Ku Klux Klan ceremonies work?
The Ku Klux Klan ceremonies are sacred and secret. However, they do vary depending on which Klan group you are referring to. Please remember that there is no ‘one Klan’ anymore. There are many different Klan factions. Some Klan groups use their own made up ceremonies. However, true, traditional Klan groups use the naturalization and opening and closing ceremonies which are laid out in the 1916 Kloran (the Klans booklet of how things are to work). The ceremonies are official, and the naturalization ceremony (for inducting new members) includes being asked questions as to your qualifications as a Klansman, and taking a sacred, secret Oath of Allegiance to the Klan. However, there is no ‘blood’ or ‘violence’ involved as people often think. I hope this helps, as I will not reveal much more due to my oath to not reveal any Klan secrets to which I have sworn to uphold.
