editI'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)
The website listed as belonging to the Crotona fellowship has nothing to do with the group described in this article. It is a very different group that has named itself after the old Crotona Fellowship in order to give itself cachet. I have deleted it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valerie voigt (talk • contribs) 15:41, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
I have added some minor details to the article and updated references. I have removed the infobox, which served no purpose other than the promotion of a commercial website for something called 'The Crotona Fellowship'. No relationship is claimed with the historic Rosicrucian Order Crotona Fellowship, nor is there any verifiable, independent source that I can trace which might indicate any connection between the two. The website states 'The Crotona Fellowship … started simply as a come together of members of the Verified Spell Casters Association', whatever that might be, and it appears to solicit payment for casting spells. It is irrelevant to the article, seems on the face of it to have been added for the purposes of financial gain, and violates WP:V and WP:NPOV. LuxInSeptentrionis (talk) 14:01, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
