Exerpt from www.correlliantradition.com:
"So what is the Correllian Nativist Tradition, and what makes it different from other Wiccan Traditions?
Usually when people ask this they are expecting a liturgical answer -some special beliefs or ritual forms that are unique to Correllianism.
Correllianism does put an unusually strong emphasis on the philosophical aspects of Wicca, and on the spirituality and inner mysteries of the Wiccan religion, but liturgically our beliefs do not especially differ from those of other Wiccan Traditions. Rather it is our attitudes toward the Pagan community and its future that tend to set us apart.
The Correllian Tradition is dedicated to the advancement of the Pagan people. We believe strongly in the need for increased communication and co-operation between Pagans everywhere, from all Traditions.
We stress the importance of the Pagan Clergy as teachers and facilitators, and the need for a strong public presence.
The Correllian Tradition emphasizes celebratory as well as initiatory Wicca, and is strongly committed to accessible public ritual.
But perhaps the one thing that most sets Correllian Wicca apart is that we have embraced the internet as an educational tool.
Correspondence teaching is nothing new in Wicca, but we were the first to utilize the internet as a serious tool for training new initiates. This has brought great expansion and many changes to our Tradition, and we are still in the process of mastering this new teaching medium.
Using Third Degree teachers assisted by First and Second Degree Mentors, we have worked with witchschool.com to build what we consider the best Wiccan correspondence education available online, backed by a real-time support network of Temples, Shrines, and Study Groups around the world. "
