The Reverend Iris Crain (Isarma Silverheart)
Founding and Current (acting) Temple Head
and Chief Priestess

Rev. Isarma is a Priestess, Initiate and Mentor of the Correllian Tradition. She began her journey into the pagan religions and paths in high school in Portland, OR, and quickly read just about every book she could get her hands on. She eventually moved to a coastal town in Western Washington with her then spouse, and spent a short time as a military wife in Groton, CT before moving back to Washington.

Ordained several years later through the ULC as a legal function, she pursued an eclectic neo-wiccan style, which she freely shared with all, including the founding of a study group, an open circle, and a closed coven. She was also a founding member of the Church of the Ancient Spirit Allience, ATC (CASA) was secretary and newsletter editor for that group as well, and one of the original creative forces for a children's program which later became the Spirial Scouts. She eventualy left due to political conflicts to pursue independant study which she has continued to this day.

Relocating to the Olympia area she weathered personal upheveals, including the break-up of her marriage and several smaller relationships. She found and joined a small local ecclectic coven who's members were active in BBS communications. It was through PODS that she met and corresponded with Ellen Cannon Reed who ran a tarot discussion loop, and Rowan Moonstone. However unfortunate events caused her to loose web access and move back to the costal area to live close to family. She continued to live there with her children and family, and eventualy regained access to the internet in '96. By 2002 she had begun studying the Correllian material and in the fall of 2002 she was able to once again relocate back to Thurston County where she currently resides.

It was just before this last relocation that she began corresponding with Minaxtheres, a Louisania Wiccan who was also studying the Correllian Tradition. They met "by chance" at an open circle in Olympia and quickly joined forces in several aspects of life. They began work on the Temple, then just the conception of a shrine, Minaxtheres providing the encouragement and support Rev. Isarma needed to endure the time-consuming original writing of the by-laws. Joined by other members of the blosoming group they put together the Spring Invitational of 2004, a highly succesful event that began the demise of the groups' first incarnation. High energy, personal interactions and hardships, and lack of defined group goals led to a summer of excessive growth and inevitable implosion. By the late fall of 2004, Rev. Isarma had met with Don Lewis and recieved her first degree initiation and the groups' chartered status. Shortly thereafter, the group consisted of Rev. Isarma, her children (and Minaxtheres as distance member,) and miscellaneous sporadic students. Through it's humble re-beginings it showed steady re-growth and stable progress until recieveing their Full Chartered Temple status at Spring Lustration 2006.

Outgoing, thoughtful, highly energetic, and usually talkitive, Isarma is the mother of three children, all who are following her in the Wiccan religion and spiritual tradition. A thoughtful writer and public speaker, she is comfortable talking to new students and Tradition leaders alike, and has several New Age and Wiccan authors among her circle of close friends. She is currently studying under the mentorship of Rev. Ing Witch of Our Lady of the Sylvan Woods Temple.

The Reverend Christopher Stoeckel (Sigilt SpiritRaven)
Current Chief Administrator and Acting Chief Priest

Sigilt SpiritRaven is a member of the U.S. Army stationed at Fort Lewis, WA. He is a medical sergeant who is currently preparing to deploy to Iraq for a second time. He is also Shrine-Keeper for the Shrine of the Desert Star, a distance Shrine of Our Lady of the Sacred Earth to serve the military pagan community deployed overseas. He is married to a lovely woman who is also a fellow member of the Armed Services.

Born in San Francisco, CA, he is the eldest of 3 boys and his parents from the earliest days allowed all three boys a great level of personal freedom, including decisions of faith. At the age of 10, Sigilt began his spiritual quest when his father gave him the book “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”. From there, he began to study an increasingly wider and more diverse range of subjects, everything from the Salem Witch Trials to modern paranormal studies, and his studies took him into the field of Native American shamanism. Sigilt studied religions from around the world, trying to find the faith that most closely matched his personal beliefs. He has delved into Eastern Religions such as Taoism and Buddhism, and Western religions as well. During his divorce from his first wife, a close friend gave him another book - “Living Wicca” by Scott Cunningham. It was at this point that he finally felt he had found the faith that had been calling him since he was a young man. He has been studying Wicca avidly since.

Sigilt considers himself to be a spiritual person who believes that all religions are merely different roads to the same truth. He has a strong Celtic and Native American shamanistic foundation, and looks forward to completing the Correllian degree system as it fits closely with his personal cosmology of the Universe. It was through his friendship with Rev. Isarma that he studied with her and became the acting Chief Priest for Our Lady of the Sacred Earth. He achieved his First Degree Clerical Initiation just after leaving for Iraq and intends to not only continue to pursue the Correllian degree system but being an active part of the pagan community in Western Washington and abroad. He is also currently studying under the mentorship of Rev. Ing Witch of Our Lady of the Sylvan Woods Temple.

Minaxtheres
Founding Chief Administrator

A typical Virgo "computer nerd," Minaxtheres has a playful sense of humor, and an abiding dedication to his true friends and family that make him a worthy and valuable member of Our Lady of the Sacred Earth, whether home or traveling abroad. He also has several New Age and Wiccan authors among his circle of close friends, as well as also studying under the mentorship of Rev. Ing Witch of Our Lady of the Sylvan Woods Temple. Currently pursuing his heart in woodworking, Minaxtheres is still a distance member and guiding force in our Temple.

Alexander Summerwolf
Founding Member

Thoughtful and yet irreverent, Alex is still finding his way in the world. An avid fan of Japanese Animation ("Anime") and it's nuances, he has a talent for seeing magical concepts and techniques in animated form which helps him understand complex subjects and then use that understanding to communicate those complexities with others in his age group. The unhappy subject of many Temple jokes owing to the fact of being Rev. Isarma's oldest son, he tries hard to roll with the jokes, and has shown a remarkable loyalty to the group. He has served as youth activities coordinator for several Temple events, and co-coordinator for the temple-sponsored South Puget Sound Pagan Pride Day (PPD) working with other adult Temple members to ensure fun and safe activities for our Temple's youth. He is currently studying under Rev. Moonstorm, a distance member of the Temple and Correllian Mentor.

Angela "Pixiedancer" Silverheart
Founding Member

Two parts quicksilver and one part sugar & spice, Angie is Isarma's youngest child and a founding member. A member of the wsWICA group where she's studying the first degree, she spends most of her time teaching the rest of the group what is in vogue with teen girls, especially in relation to teen boys. Enthusiastic about the craft, she's outspoken and acts as an unofficial spokesperson, speaking unabashedly about her beliefs to both youth and adults without prejudice. She has also been active in the Temple's PPD activities, as well as volunteering her time to Central Puget Sound's PPD event as well. Often the focus of jokes and pranks by her brothers, she maintains her warrior spirit and looks forward to Summer and the Temple's BBQ's and gatherings.
