His name is Ronald, he is a clown…he’s always happy, and never down….but one day, his tent burned down, and upon Ronald, there was a frown.

We were not notified by Ed or Don that you all walked away but we were notified by Lord Davron that there was a split between you all and that Lord Davron was walking away from you all.

This came about after having private conversations with you all about mishandling and mismanaging money and Ed and Don Lewis refused to come clean, refused to produce records and confiscated computers that HAD the information on it.

Lord Davron had hoped you all could work it out before it went legal, and that was the last course of action he stated he wanted to take.

So to recap, he contacted the Clergy on the Correllian Clergy list FIRST. Whoever was in charge of moderating the clergy list kicked Davron off of the list then and any one else who supported Davron or asked intelligent questions about what Ed Hubbard and Don Lewis were doing.

Let’s just keep the facts straight, okay?

For all the threats of lawsuits, etc. Nothing appears to have happened becasue their was no legal grounds for it. This was a very tyical Witch War except for the fact most national leaders frown deeply at associating Wicca adn Satanism together as did Davron Michaels.

I find it really upsetting to hear that a Wiccan tradition in the 21st century actively and publicly participates in shunning. The fact that it is for primarily political reasons makes it worse. The fact that they are publicly asking non-Correllian traditions to participate is horrifying (in my mind).

I was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness. This is a religion that actively and frequently shuns its members. They call it ‘disfellowshipping.’ Countless lives have been all but destroyed due to this practice. I am disfellowshipped, and consequently have lost contact with most of my closest family members.

This type of practice is a terrible control mechanism designed to protect the leadership, not the membership, of a religion. You support Michaels, so you can’t come to rituals? participate in events? be BLESSED? Obviously the wise Council knows that individuals can’t be trusted to make their own decisions regarding who to associate with, what to believe, and how to manage their own spiritual health.

I admit to knowing little about the Correllian tradition, about the events that led to this shunning, and that, because of my background, I am personally biased against faiths that shun (I’ve just seen it hurt too many people who have done nothing but think differently than ‘the flock’). Still, I would ask anyone who might read this to consider whose interest is being looked out for when your leaders tell you “don’t talk to them, they’re bad news!” What are they afraid of?

They made it all up seems the most likely choice. And the high priestesses seem just for show – if they don’t agree with the high correll they get removed by the high correll. Hmmm doesn’t sound like a Matriarchy much to me. The person who said follow the money has summed up the entire correllian tradition in a 3 short words.

Been there and pulled my head out finally.

We’ve got you out-Celticked and out-American Indianed!

Religious “outbidding” at its finest.

And I will bet that there is only one source for this story, so no meddling historian can check other sources and question the foundation myth.

This could also extend, using this definition, to mean that all of the Gardnerians were of that lineage.

Thanks for the clarification. They sure go in for the titles, don’t they.
