What is a Mystery School?

[Monica]

I honestly have no idea about what this concept is.

-- have you ever been part of a mystery school?

Yes

-- how do you actually envisage it working?  (in terms of commitments, financial contributions, is it professional/purely amateur in one's own time).
-- how would the hierarchy be structured?
-- who would you actually trust to be the 'head' of such a school?  and by that, I mean, at the end of the day, you are not going to have a lot of direct information or contact with that individual, except by reputation.

If those questions must be asked, then we don't have the components here, so it's all moot. In other words, if we could do it here, we'd all know the answers to those questions already. It would be obvious.
