Mental Discipline (Elestial Dawn)
All who come to me I keep. All who leave I set free.
But ever do I stand against those who carry not my key.
But ever do I stand against those who carry not my key.

Be it known that Ravenwood honors who passed to the Summerland at the end of June 2000 In the 1970s, Leo Martello was the first to sponsor a public magickal circle in New York when Witchcraft as a religion was little-known, let alone public. During his life he consulted to a number of traditions and covens and was a respected elder of the Trinacrian Rose Coven (Church) based in Medford, Massachusetts. During his life, Dr. Martello founded the “Witches Anti-Defamation League,” later renamed the “Witches Anti-Discrimination Lobby” (WADL), as one of the first Witch and Pagan Civil Rights organizations in the USA. Its existence eventually spawned many similar groups with similar names long after Leo passed its operation on to other capable hands. “A founding Father, a great pioneer, and because of him, and others like him, we can all rest easier in our beds. Those of us, such as myself and Lady Sintana, who were active in the 1970s could always count on his advice and his support. May the Old Ones welcome him home with loving arms. May he enjoy his well earned rest.” ~ Lord Merlin, Elder High Priest
