Above: Group shot after the ceremony. The Correllian Lustration / Witchschool Pagan Education and Leadership Conference was an amazing and remarkable event which we all enjoyed and the memory of which we shall surely cherish. Now we must take what we have learned and, in true Correllian style, apply it to the real world. There is much to be done, and we will continue to keep you updated on what we are doing as a Tradition and at Witchschool.com. Many Blessings to you all!
