Correlianism is a syncretic form of Wicca that places a special emphasis on philosophy, values, ethics, and the Inner Mysteries. Its ritual structure would be familiar to most Wiccans (and many non-Wiccan Pagans and Witches). Its ethics line up with the ethics in most Traditions and places an emphasis on following the Wiccan Rede. No person shall be denied membership in the Circle of the Mountain Fire because of gender and gender identity, race, ethnicity, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, previous religious affiliations or age, provided that they have attained the age of legal majority.
There are two categories of membership to the Circle of the Mountain Fire. These are Outer Court or Inner Court members.
Outer Court membership consists of several classifications.
Outer Court Member: Persons who have applied to the Correllian-Nativist Tradition for Outer Court Membership and have received their Outer Court membership number.
Dedicates: Persons who are officially dedicating themselves for a minimum of a year and a day to the Correllian-Nativist Tradition through membership in one of the officially recognized Shrines or Temples of the Tradition while studying the First Degree Clergy curriculum as put forth by the Tradition.
Friends of the Coven and Shrine: Persons who are not officially recognized Outer Court members by the Tradition but who are welcome to attend Circle functions normally reserved to members. Friends of the Coven and Shrine do not have to subscribe to the Tradition’s teachings but must be considerate of them and maintain a positive aspect of the Circle.
All Inner Court members must be officially recognized as Clergy by the Tradition and have a documented Clergy number assigned by the Tradition after successfully completing all individual degree requirements. Each Clergy member has been recognized by the Correllian-Nativist Church after completing their respective degree work which included projects, teaching classes, holding events, leading rituals, passing a background check and passing an extensive comprehensive final exam before receiving initiation. Each degree requires at least a year and a day to complete.
The Correllian Wiccan Tradition is a modern form of Wicca that was founded by Rev. Donald Lewis-Highcorrell in 1979. The tradition is named after its founder, who is also known as Lord Merlin. The Correllian Wiccan Tradition is a syncretic form of Wicca that draws upon a wide range of pagan and magical traditions, including Celtic, Norse, Egyptian, and Eastern mysticism.
The Correllian Wiccan Tradition places a strong emphasis on personal growth, spiritual development, and community service. It is a decentralized tradition, meaning that individual covens and practitioners have a great deal of autonomy and are not subject to centralized authority. However, there is a central governing body, the Correllian Nativist Church, which provides resources and support to members of the tradition.
The Correllian Wiccan Tradition places a great deal of importance on the concept of "the divine within," which refers to the belief that every individual has a spark of divinity within them. This concept is closely linked to the Wiccan idea of the God and Goddess, who are seen as archetypes that exist within all of nature.
In terms of ritual practice, the Correllian Wiccan Tradition places a strong emphasis on symbolism and visualization. Rituals often include the use of candles, incense, and other symbolic objects to represent spiritual concepts and energies. The tradition also places a great deal of importance on the practice of meditation and other forms of inner work.
Overall, the Correllian Wiccan Tradition is a modern and eclectic form of Wicca that emphasizes personal growth, community service, and a deep connection to the divine within.
