FACES OF CORRELLIANISM "Faces of Correllianism" is a place where Correllians can send photos of themselves, their altars, their pets, as well as artwork, autobiographies, descriptions of events and projects, essays and poetry to share with all Correllians. Through "Faces of Correllianism" we hope to show what a strong, diverse, and positive community we are. If you would like to have your

Lady Faemore Gentle greetings everybody. I am Rev. Faemore Lorei, an initiated priestess of the Correllian Nativist Tradition, and Shrine Head of its Barbados-based Formal Shrine, Altar of the Arcane Song. I received my initiation on Wednesday the 29th of June, in the year 9 Aquarius. I have been studying Wicca for over ten years now, since the 22nd of August, in the year 1 Aquarius. What drew me to this spiritual path is love - love of nature and earth, of magick and myth, and of life in all of its wondrous expressions and manifestations. It is home. |

Faemore FOC: Lady
Faemore Lorei, initiated priestess of the Correllian Nativist Tradition and
Shrine Head of the Altar of the Arcane Song. When I was first and formally introduced to Wicca through a book about magickal philosophy lent to me by my devout Christian stepmother to read during her Wednesday prayer meet so that my wandering mind would be better engaged, that was the feeling I found - home. It is a feeling that has remained with me throughout the years. It has been home ever since. I work exclusively with the Slavic Pantheon, namely Mati Syra Zemlya, the Moist Mother Earth, Lesovik or Leshey, the male woodland spirit, and Baba Yaga, the Bone Crone Mother and Arch-Patroness Deity of my soul. My totem animals and spirit guides are Owl, Wolf and Dragonfly. |

My Formal Shrine, Altar of the Arcane Song received its official charter from the Correllian Nativist Tradition on Sunday, the 13th of March, in the year 11 Aquarius. We are based in Barbados and fall under the imperium of the Celtic Cross Temple headed by the illustrious Terry Power, which in turn falls under the imperium the Correllian Church. The pantheon of the Shrine are our very own personal Ennead, Company of Nine. They are Blodeuwedd, Arianrhod, Danu, Cailleach, Sedna, Native American Grandmother Spider, The Green Knight, Lugh and the Dagda. The Totem of the Shrine is Frog, and the Shrine Fruit are Apples and Carambola. We specialise in Devotional Song. |

Lady Emairelhd Blessings everyone! I am Lady Emairelhd; I'm 23, happily married, live in northern Alabama, and am an Outer Court member, as well as a First Degree student, Clergy Dedicant, and lifetime member of Witchschool. I work as an IT technician and go to school for Computer Network Engineering. My path is very green and natural, and I sometimes refer to myself as a Pagan Elementalist in theology. I have always felt very called to lead in the community, and I plan to begin holding a monthly circle after I graduate next year. |

This is a picture of a small shrine that I made out of an old drawer turned on its side. It has a little divider in it that, when turned sideways made a small shelf perfect for crystals. I love to make mundane items into magical treasures! I like coming up with my own magikal or unique names for things, for example, I call all the "stuff" that we use or have as Wiccan/Pagan (like ritual tools, garb and decoration) "Paganpherbilia" which is a combo of Pagan, Paraphernalia, Memorabilia; which I think is a neat, descriptive name for all that stuff as a whole. I send my greetings and blessings to all who read these words! And I hope to one day meet everyone on this page! Blessed be to you all, sisters and brothers. |

Rev. Windy LaJoie HP I live in Massachusetts a very small town called Spencer. I have three adult sons, none of which are into Paganism. I am Guide of the World Wide Crystal Web I have a personal shrine-Shrine of the Hooded Crone, where I teach three wonderful students in real-time. I’m Head of The Order of Web Weavers which is still in it’s infancy. In August 2006, I had the chance to visit Hoopeston, I was there ten days. I meet Lady Krystel who is such a lovely person. I meet my favorite artist Lady Bitterwind, who made me the most unusual necklace, which is a one of a kind. It was so good to meet her since I own a lot of her artwork. I met for the first
time MaryAnn she is so much fun. |

I stayed with Lady Virginia we had a blast. Also meet Lady Reanna and many others. If you can ever make the trip, it is well worth it. The town itself is quaint with a drive thru package store which I have never seen before, I was astonished by it. My initiation into the Third Degree was one of the most wonderful experiences I could ask for, besides the birth of my three sons. It was when Rev. Don initiated me into the Third Degree High Priesthood, along with others who I got to meet for the first time in New York. The big Gray Elephant is such a unique place, always something going on. Well I will cut it off
here, or Rev. Don will have to publish this as a novel. Love and Magickal Blessings to you all!!

Greetings Rev, Don
First let me say that this is a
wonderful idea. I thought I would send a short Bio of Myself so that
my brothers and Sisters may know me and hence that I May know
them. I have been Pagan as long as I can remember. In my teen yrs
a actively began my quest to seek what is.
My Name is Jim Cameron and in the craft I am know as Silverwolf. I wondered a long time until on day in early 2000 I heard about Rev. Don Lewis and Rev. Ed Hubbard, Witchschool and hence the Correllian Nativist Tradition. I felt I had come home as it were right away. |

I am the Joint Head of Heritage Temple located in Piqua , Ohio , however, I currently live in Belleville , Illinois . I am the mother of an 18 year old daughter and 16 year old son. I keep busy with Temple duties, being a 3rd Degree mentor and as editor of the Daily Spell.
One of my passions is anything to do with San Francisco . I only lived there for two years as a teenager but fell completely in love with the city and try to visit as much as possible. I plan to return there in the future. Below is a collection of photographs I took while on vacation there a few years ago.
I also enjoy creating different photo effects. Five of the photos were altered to appear as paintings.
