| 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 16th annual report begins, like many others, with the state of the Church and its operations. In this opening statement by Rev. Paul V. Beyerl is heard the Board’s decision to make The Hermit’s Grove a legal subsidiary of the Church. Financial status of the church continues to be an ongoing concern and it discussed by several members of the Board. Of note, is an update by Jim Saigle on the stability of The Littlest Unicorn and positive changes that the publications has seen in formating. The Unicorn is also discussed at length emphasizing the importance of this newsletter on the Church, the Mystery School, and the Wiccan community at large. The Hatchling, which was a serialized article in The Unicorn, is not available as a spiral-bound book covering twenty-six installments. | en_US |
