To me it seems that an 'initiation' is the large picture that represents a 'full' or more full stepwise 'welcoming' into a tradition - and that an attunement is simply one aspect of initiation.

I know too that semantics is one of Coyote's favorite tricks to confuse as many people as possible - myself included.
