So, as far as magick is concerned. How did that fellow imitate into that order with no one there to accept him. Call me clueless but I’m curious and not judging. I would just love the knowledge. Thank you.

I’m not sure which specific post you are referring to, could it be this one? The Initiation Ceremony

Many orders allow self-initiation. The magician Chic Cicero has spent much of his life teaching self-initiation methods for the Golden Dawn. I have friends who have self-initiated into mystery cults when called by certain deities. In fact, if there is no organization that follows a particular path, self-initiation is the only recourse.

There is much debate within the magical community on the validity and usefulness of self-initiation.

Personally, I believe self-initiation is valid and useful, but that group initiation provides certain elements that cannot be replicated. It can also be said that group initiation erodes a magician’s center of self and personal relationship with deity. 

It’s up to the magician to determine which type of initiation is more useful to them at the time.
