I've been studying some of the material published by the ROCF, including some of the plays and part of the correspondence course. I'm in two minds as to whether this counts as Original Research: they're publications I could reference, but the only copies I can find are in the special collection donated when the society folded. Any ideas? Ffetcher 07:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I've since discovered that Sabina Magliocco, in "Witching Culture" (2004) finds it 'possible' that the Crotona Fellowship were performing rituals 'based on Co-Masonry' with material added from published folklore, in the late 1930's (page 51). Having seen what of Sullivan's writings are in the collection I consider it 'likely' rather than 'possible', but unless anyone else strongly disagrees I'd like to add her 'possible' reference to the text on this page. As always, I'll wait a while before leaping in, though. Ffetcher 08:41, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
