dc.description | This digital asset was created from the original digital scans by Rev. Paul V. Beyerl and provided to the Valdosta State University Archives & Special Collections to be part of their Rowan Tree Church Periodicals Collection of the New Age Movements, Occultism, and Spiritualism Research Library. The Rowan Tree Church is an earth-based religion founded by Rev. Paul Beyerl, a Third Degree Initiate in the Alexandrian Tradition of Wicca, and incorporated on February 4, 1980 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The church is now based in Kirkland, Washington with many communities throughout the United States and Canada. The roots of the Church extend back to 1976 which Rev. Beyerl began teaching Wicca, Astrology, and Herbalism out of his home. The Church's religion, The Tradition of Lothloriën, embraces inclusiveness and accepts all people regardless of faith, sexual orientation, race, or gender, a noted departure from early Alexandrian Wicca. The Tradition has elements of Herbalism, Astrology and Tibetan Buddhism in its structure, and is deeply rooted in its Mystery School, an in-depth study program that leads to Ordination, and the Hermit's Grove, its educational and publishing entity. Noted publications are The Unicorn, The Littlest Unicorn for children, and The Hermit’s Lantern. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | The seventh Annual Report describes a thriving Mystery School. The publishing of A Wiccan Bardo in the US and internationally along with its impact on students is described. There is a short account of the annual Retreat and Campout followed by the challenges of the coming year. A recurring theme throughout the report is communication between members and the Board of Directors. Also in the challenges is who to let the community at large learn about the Sunday Circles offered by the Church. The editor of The Littlest Unicorn expressed concerns on subscriptions and how to increase them. New publishing and accounting software was purchased making for better publications and greater efficiency in accounting respectively. | en_US |
