LUSTRATION OF THE ANCESTORS
March 31 - April 2, Year 17 Aq.  Stamford, Connecticutt

As you may know the Correllian Lustration of the Ancestors was held this last weekend in Stamford, Connecticut. It was a delightful weekend full of rituals, initiations, and workshops but with the feel of a family reunion.

I want to thank Rt. Rev. Alyssa Maxon Kemp of the Order of Artificers and Dancers of Shakti Temple, Rev. Phoenix Williams of Holistic Knowledge Proto-Temple, and Rev. Kai Aidan of Enchanted Mystery Temple together with the members of their groups for hosting this wonderful event and for all their hard work in putting it together!

I especially want to thank our special guest Phyllis Curott, renowned author and former Vice-Chair of the Parliament of the World’s Religions for joining us and sharing her special vision with us!

This is the first time that we have successfully broadcast a Lustration live, and we are very happy with the results. People around the world were able to share the workshops and rituals live as they happened. Of course, being our first time there were some hiccups -camera work and sound experienced some difficulties here and there- but we will get the bugs worked out before our next livestreamed event. Many thanks to Correllian Press Secretary Rev. Lori Barberio Blackman and all of our wonderful film crew!

Were you able to catch any of the videos live? If not, don’t worry -they are all still available in the archives! You can see them at https://www.facebook.com/TheWitchSchool.

Congratulations to our new Temples and Proto-Temples!

​And as always awards were made to recognize our wonderful membership and their hard work in keeping this Tradition going. It is never possible to honor everyone who goes above and beyond expectation to serve the Tradition and its membership because our volunteers are in the hundreds, but through the Awards Cycle we honor some individually and all in spirit. For this cycle, the following awards were given: 
Picture
​Copper Athame Award for excellence in arts and sciences: Rev. Cherise Wolfstar Lorenz, Rev. Heru Palas, Rev. Nuhmen Delos, Rev. Lori Barberio Blackman. Rev. Tine Estrella de la Tarde HP, Rev. Elizabeth Hamilton HP.

​Golden Wand Award for service to others: Rev. Phoenix Williams HP.

There was no Silver Chalice Award for this Cycle.

Iron Pentacle Award for teaching and written works: Rev. Kai Aidan HP, Rev. Odiseo Sabar, and Rev. Jon Anastasio HP.

Thurible Award for inspiring others: Rev. Espuma de Citera and Ser Apu Aghama.

​Congratulations to you all!

​​In addition to honoring our members for their efforts we also made awards to two people from outside the Tradition for their work:

The Chancellor’s Special Service Award was given to Pam Kelly for her work with the Pagans Tonight Radio Network.

And Phyllis Curott was honored as an Honorary Arch Priestess of the Tradition in acknowledgement of all of her many accomplishments.
