The Correllian Nativist Tradition, which teaches Correllian Wicca, was founded by Blv. Orpheis Caroline High Correll, a practicing psychic, spiritual healer, and herbalist. She is said to have founded the Tradition as an entity separate from her ancestry, on September 4, 1479 Pisces (1879 AD). Lady Orpheis called the Tradition simply 'Nativist', and this would remain the Tradition’s primary designation until the appellation of the term “Correllian Nativist” in 1592 Pisces (1992 AD), or as it is now more commonly called; 'Correllian'. Lady Orpheis’ Nativism was a highly political and deeply syncretic form of Pagan universalism, which stressed that the world’s Native (Pagan) religions could only survive through united action against religious/cultural imperialism. The Correllian Nativist Tradition is based upon the teachings of members of the High-Correll family. The High-Correll family were descended from a line of Cherokee ''Didanvwisgi'' who intermarried with a line of Scottish Traditional Witches, whose descendants were further influenced by Aradian Witchcraft and by the Spiritualist Church. In creating Correllian Nativist Wicca, Orpheis Caroline drew upon her Native American heritage, as well as ideas of European Witchcraft, Spiritualism, and Hermetic thought. The Tradition has always had both a Matriarchal Head (in Cherokee the ''Agayv Gigagei'') and what might be termed a Fraternal Head, from which the current offices of the Correllian tradition derive their form. The Matriarchal Head of the Tradition was usually the oldest woman, the Fraternal Head her brother or son.〔Lewis-Highcorrell, Rev. Donald. “History” Correllian.com. Correllian Nativist Church, n.d. Web. 16 July 2013.〕 "What is meant by Witchcraft in this connotation; is a relatively unorganized Pagan religious practice involving magic and spiritualism. In my writings I have always treated the term “Wicca” as synonymous with the word “Witchcraft” as defined above, because this is what I was taught, and has been common practice for many in the USA especially during the period when I was learning. Many people now use a much more limited definition of “Wicca”, confining the term to the Gardnero-Alexandrian Traditions: it is important to realize that this is not how the word “Wicca” is being used in these writings. The Correllian Tradition considers itself to be “Nativist” –a word roughly synonymous with “Pagan”. In 1579 Pisces (1979 AD) the Elders of the Tradition decided that it was a form of “Wicca” using the term as synonymous with “Witchcraft” as described above. Ultimately however we consider Correllianism to be something unto itself: “A lens through which all things may be seen.” Though influenced by the movements it has grown up among and at times identified with, the Correllian understanding of the Universe is ultimately simply Correllian." 〔Lewis-Highcorrell, Rev. Donald. ''Witch School First Degree: Lessons in the Correllian Tradition.'' Woodbury, MN. Llewellyn Publications. 2008. Print.〕 Groups which are not Gardnerian that still employ the word 'Wicca' to their practice are: Dianics, Gaists, Frostians, Circle, ATC (Aquarian Tabernacle Church), Cabots, among others. ==Milestones== * The Correll Mother Temple in Danville, Illinois was founded on September 4, 1879. Blv. Orpheis Caroline High Correll would head the church until her death in 1940. * The final revisions of the Correllian Degree lessons would be presented to the Tradition in 1598 Pisces (1998 AD). * Under Lady Krystel and Chancellor Don's leadership (since 1979), the tradition sought to expand its outreach and began an ongoing educational program which resulted in the co-creation of the Internet-based Witch School with Ed Hubbard of Psychic Services Incorporated in 2001. The Witch School has since become an independent, multi-tradition entity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Correllian Nativist Tradition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
