Greetings Mortals,

Welcome to my home! Enter freely and of your own will. Come freely; Go safely; and leave something of the happiness you bring. For those of you who do not know me personally I'm MerlinRavenSong. I'm a Traditional Witch and a Occult Metaphysician. I'm a member of several well known occult organizations; some of which are known while others remain private. I'm a member of one of the most well known and respected covens here in Michigan *The Circle of Wondrous Stories*. I also run an occult organization here in Michigan called Full Moon Circle. Full Moon Circle started out as a student organization on the campus of Wayne State University but soon grown beyond the the walls of WSU. When we operated out of WSU we were Michigan's longest running occult student organization. FMC has been around for over 15 years mainly working as a student organization but we are now branching out to the greater metropolitan area. FMC was never limited to just Wayne State University we have always had members from around the globe. If you are interested in becoming a member or just joining us in one of our many rituals feel free to contact me here for details regarding our meetings an on how to apply for active membership.

FULL MOON CIRCLE is an occult organization that focuses on informing the community about the truth behind modern Witchcraft, Magick and the Occult within society today. As a discussion group we concentrate on educating ourselves along with others in the study of Magick and Modern Witchcraft with all of its different aspects. We operate much like an open forum where all are invited to share ideas concerning various topics covered during our meetings. As an occult organization, we feel it's our duty to share our diverse philosophies with others and to hopefully dispel many of the lies that has been told about us through awareness, education and diligence. We aim to establish a vocal network here in Michigan which will focus on growth and progress within the greater Michigan area and add yet another valuable piece of culture to this richly diverse community.

Full Moon Circle is dedicated to dispelling the many lies that have been told about us throughout the ages. We do this by networking using LETTERS, FAXES, PHONE CALLS, and E-MAILS to aid us in our efforts. For those of you who wish to join us E-mail me and I'll put you on FMC's E-mail list as a member.

Please note that Full Moon Circle is not a dogmatic FLUFFY BUNNY, WHITE LIGHT, NEW AGE organization that attempts to PLEASE those who at one time burnt Witches, Magicians, Freethinkers, Shape-shifters, Feminists, Atheists and Homosexuals (to name a few) at the stake. This is NOT what we are all about because our very nature is to be POLITICALLY INCORRECT. We are Pre-Gardenian and have a more traditional approach to our philosophy.

Please also note that we are fully aware of the fact that many people have a warped idea about what Witchcraft and Magick truly is. We will at times attract people who do not agree with our religion or our philosophy and those people are welcome to NOT attend our meetings. This is why we firmly believe in the *Stratification Pyramid*. Cream always rises to the top and bullshit always sinks to the bottom it's a simple and basic law of nature. This is nature's way of separating excellence from mediocrity and the sheep from the goats. Usually when these individuals come to our meetings with hidden agendas they soon find out that they're doing nothing more than wasting my time and theirs and if they do not leave by their own accord they will be asked to leave. Our motto is "Do on to others as they do on to you" If you feel that our organization is not a good fit go somewhere else.

We also do not tolerate rudeness during our meetings from white-lighters or fundamentalists of any kind. These people still cling to the superstitions of the past which we view as irrelevant, sanctimonious gobley gook. If they attempt to crash our meetings and disrupt it they will be shown the door. FMC makes NO apologies for our religious beliefs. We feel that there are far too many people out there who claim to be Witches (or Occultists) and still cling to their Xian world view, which goes against the laws of nature, which we follow. Unlike others we embrace the legendary Green Faced Halloween Witch the same way Shawn Poirier (R.I.P) and our friends in Salem do; and as a symbol of our individuality and uniqueness we proudly place our alters in THE WEST an invite the spirits to join us in defiance of the white lighters who still fear the dark and sleep with the light on.

WITCHCRAFT IS A SPICY RELIGION with as many pathways as there are stars in the heavens. It should NOT be taught in a way that's watered down to make it more acceptable to people who call themselves witches but are still Xian and follow the right hand path. Witchcraft by nature is a mystery religion and NOT a subset of the new age movement, which tends to dumb down eastern philosophy in hopes that it will be more appealing to westerners. We believe in JUSTICE not karma and we are not ashamed of our western roots within The Craft. We do not worship nature we respect it and live by the laws of nature. We are NOT occultnics we take a very pragmatic approach to everything we do. If you are looking for a new age white-light oriented group you may want to look somewhere else.

FULL MOON CIRCLE looks forward to networking with similar groups here in Michigan. We are always looking to create a flourishing network of support, information and assistance to those who share our interest in magick and the occult. If you have an organization that you feel is compatible with our philosophy and wish to network with us feel free to contact us.
