What this disclosure covers
Secrecy framing pp. 139–140 and selected initiation passages pp. 161, 164–167; images 165–166 checked.
A publication year is not an established earliest disclosure date. For the mirrored manual, the dates of first online exposure and first inclusion of the selected prescriptions remain unestablished; exposure_publication describes the inspected posting, not proof of an unauthorized leak.
Read selected page-level OCR for pp. 139–140, 161 and 164–167; checked page images 165–166. The page service supplies both OCR and images; OCR has obvious errors and is not an independent witness. The advertised PDF returned HTTP 403 and was not captured. The article identifies interviews and recollections, but these selected passages do not establish an exact field date or direct observation of every step.
Journal de la Société des Américanistes 58 (1969), pp. 139–171. The article compares variants and includes the author’s interpretations; neither its generalizations nor quoted prejudice are adopted as facts. A locally reported painful ordeal is not extended to all initiations. Statements about efficacy or supernatural acceptance remain attributed beliefs.

Both page images checked. The later viewing of other sacred objects must not be turned into an assertion that Ekue itself is shown to every new initiate. No conclusion about spiritual reality follows.
