Our Lady of the Sylvan Wood Temple, while a member Temple of the Correllian Nativist Tradition, enjoys an Open Membership Policy…meaning that our members do not have to join the Tradition to be members of the Temple…all that is required is that you possess an Open Heart and Mind… and follow and sign our Temple Member’s Affirmation and live so as to adhere to the principles of the Wiccan Rede and the Temple Member’s Code of Conduct …
