LUSTRATION OF THE LIVING
And Witchschool Education
and Leadership Conference
Commentary by M. Rev. Don Lewis
SEPTEMBER 1 - 4, Year 5 Aquarius
Rt. Rev. Pete Davis of the ATC leads a class during the Conference.
Greetings all,
Well, another Lustration has come and gone -and what a delightful time it was!
Every Lustration is special and unique unto itself, but this Lustration was the occasion of so many "firsts" and witnessed so many changes and transformations as to be quite ground-breaking.

First, of course, this was the first Lustration to be held outside of central Illinois. Previous Lustrations have been held in Danville, Westville, Kankakee, and Hoopeston -all relatively near each other. But this Lustration was held in upstate New York.
This opens something of a new era for us and really brings home how much the Tradition has grown and that the spiritual center of the Tradition in many ways must now be said to be everywhere -like the Tradition itself. Secondly, this was the first Lustration to be combined with another major event: specifically the Witchschool Education and Leadership Conference. The combination of the two events greatly enriched each and allowed us all to have a fuller and even more memorable experience. |

We want to thank everyone in both the Correllian Tradition and our educational partner Witch School who worked so hard to make this event a reality!
All this hard work really showed, and we thank you all for your tireless efforts to make this conference the best it could possibly be. We would also like to thank all those who attended the conference -especially those who came from great distances |
