The Newcastle Society united with the Correllian Tradition in 1592
Pisces (1992 AD) after a series of join projects. This union set the
stage for the Tradition's modernization and expansion.
Rev. Ed is the founder and CEO of Witchschool.com,
the online school which serves as an educational partner of the
Tradition and through which many Correllian Clergy are trained.
Witchschool.com had many nay-sayers in its early days but has proven to
be a great blessing to the Tradition and is today much imitated by
other, more recent, online schools of Wicca.
In addition to Correllian Degree programs Witchschool also offers
classes in general Wiccan studies, Ceremonialism and Cabala, and many
other subjects.
