The history of the Temple of the Ancestors is growing with it's clergy and members.  Officially chartered as a Witan Shrine in May of 2007, it has successfully taken another step towards Full Temple status.  In August of 2008 the Temple of the Ancestors was elevated to Proto-Temple status.  It is the hope that in the years to come it will attain Full Temple status.  With work and determination, this will be a foreseeable future.

Greetings and Merry Meet To All,

Let me start off by saying I am a 33 year old male in North Carolina. I have 
chosen to go down the paths of the Old Ways with Pan being my patron deity.  
I am currently finished my First Degree studies and beginning my path in 
becoming a member of the Clergy of the Correllian Tradition.  I have just started 
my Second Degree studies.  I plan as well to further my studies towards gaining
my Third Degree with my wise teacher, Rev. Lee beside me. I am also in the 
Correllian Prison Ministry Formal Shrine as well NC WSI Volunteer Guild. I am 
taking the ADF Dedicant program hoping to finish the studies of the program

Merry Meet All,

               I am one of Rev. Lee’s students.  I have been for a year and a half.  I am a member of the Outer Court; soon to be a Postulant.  I have learned so much here and am enjoying everything!!  I look forward to learning more.  I feel a  draw to Dragons for a Patron.  I think Dragons are the most beautiful of creatures.  I am in the Volunteer Guild, and a member of the Prison Ministry.  I have someone I write to, helping them with questions and companionship.  It is interesting and a learning experience. I enjoy the Norse Mythology.  I am Norwegian, so I can connect with it. 

                I have been married to my husband for 6 years.  I am proud to be with him and watch him grow.  He is such a wise Teacher and Priest.  I have learned so much from him.  I am so Blessed.

I'm 58, have been married for 26 years with more years to come. I have 1 son and 3 cats. My current residence is in South Florida.

I started at Witch School in Oct 2007 and have taken many courses there.  I have completed my First Degree in Correllian Wicca and am planning on registering for the Clergy very soon and then my Second Degree. I have been a meditation student since March of 2008 and have learned much with the guidance of Rev. Lee, who answers all of the questions I ask him. I've just joined the Temple and get a great deal out of the Healing Rituals and support from the other members of the Temple.
