I think this is a great initiative. Never mind the imagery or references to religious texts, I am quite curious as to how the community will swarm around the 12 Initiates and the dynamics that will develop. More tribes within tribes?

Hive communities have often formed around tangible topics (Finance, gaming, writing etc.) this is one initiative that may lead to a "big bang" of ideologies. The idea that tribes could form around initiates (i think they will), fighting for favour (staked power = incentive/influence) will add interesting new dimensions to Hive space. Let's see where this project leads to!

Good luck!
