Tarmida initiates or [[novice]]s ({{lang|myz|ࡔࡅࡀࡋࡉࡀ}} {{transliteration|myz|šualia}}) can come from any "pure" family. In other words, the families must be ritually pure, meaning that there are no family members who have committed grave sins. Ritually pure laymen are also known as ''hallali'' in [[Mandaic language|Mandaic]]. Typically, the novices have been trained as ritual assistants (''[[shganda|šganda]]'' or ''ašganda'') when they were children. Initiates may or may not be married, although typically they are not yet married.<ref name="Buckley 2002"/>

In order to be ordained as a tarmida, the initiate ({{lang|myz|ࡔࡅࡀࡋࡉࡀ}} {{transliteration|myz|šualia}}) must go through a complex series of [[initiation]] rituals lasting 68 days. Various rituals are performed by the initiator priest ({{lang|myz|ࡓࡁࡀ}} {{transliteration|myz|rba}}), who recites from priestly esoteric texts such as ''[[The Coronation of the Great Shishlam]]'' ({{transliteration|myz|Šarh d-Traṣa d-Taga d-Šišlam Rabbā}}),<ref name="DC54">Drower, E.

Ritual helpers (''[[šganda]]'' or {{lang|myz|ࡔࡂࡀࡍࡃࡀ}} {{transliteration|myz|ašganda}}), who represent emissaries from the [[World of Light]], also help perform the rituals, many of which are held in a specially constructed priest initiation hut (''[[škinta]]'') and also a nearby temporary reed hut (''[[andiruna]]'').<ref name="Buckley 2002"/>
