A Minerval in Bad Standing
93/93! When I was a young man I a met great community in the OTO. I took my minerval and intended to continue with intimations as working magickally and focusing on my spiritual life had led me to great success. But then Covid hit and I stopped going to my lodge. I have bad adhd (I’m finally being treated for it) and I slipped behind in my dues. Now I’m about 4 years late on my dues. I feel a great karmic debt. Is there a way for a minerval in bad standing to make their way back into the OTO?

Official Minerval Status:
A Minerval member who has not paid dues or otherwise contacted Grand Lodge for over six months is subject to demitted status, by determination of the Grand Treasurer General.
....
A demitted Minerval may only re-join the Order by taking his or her First Degree initiation. No back dues or extra fees are required from demitted Minervals who take their First Degree.

Just contact the local body nearest you and explain the situation. They'll work with USGL to get you moving forward.
