Correllian anniversary challenge - Day 7: The future of Correllianism
Today’s prompt asks us to share our hopes for the future of the Correllian Tradition. We often speak about our Ancestors, honor those who came before us, and look back to the generations that built the path we walk today. But the Correllian Tradition is not only shaped by its past. Its future is being shaped right now by the people who are part of it today. The choices we make, the work we do, and the communities we build will become part of the legacy we leave behind when we become the Ancestors of tomorrow.
So, what kind of future do members of our clergy see for the Tradition? One where Correllianism continues to grow and reaches new seekers around the world, offering a spiritual home to people searching for a Pagan path, and giving the next generation the space to step forward and bring fresh perspectives and new voices to our magickal teachings. That future also depends on a strong and active clergy, and on Temples that are not only active in their own communities but connected to one another, sharing projects and working together as a truly global network rather than as isolated communities.
There is also a desire to make the Tradition easier to find and more visible in the wider world. A stronger presence online, including an improved website and more active social media, can help seekers discover Correllianism. But our presence cannot stop at the screen. When our clergy become active in their local communities, putting Correllian values into practice through service and involvement, we show who we are through our actions as well as our teachings. In doing so, the Tradition can play its part in bringing different people together in love and peace.
And then there is a dream that would bring us back to where the story began: a physical home for the Correll Mother Temple in Danville, Illinois, giving the Tradition a place to put down roots once again in its birthplace.
These are only some of our hopes. The future is still unwritten, and that is perhaps the most exciting part. What we build today will become the foundation on which those who come after us will continue.
