The SCPN Presents

The Stars Within the Earth: THE FERI TRADITION
by Storm Fearywolf

THE FERI TRADITION
We are very fortunate to have Storm Faerywolf, a renowned and respected teacher and priest within the Feri tradition, to come and speak at the SCPN Event this month. Storm is a very popular presenter at PanthiaCon and for this event he will be presenting the history of Feri and illustrate some key points that distinguish it from other forms of witchcraft, such as Wicca. Storm will also perform a simple cleansing rite that is at the core of the Feri tradition. There will be time for questions after the presentation and rite, Storm’s book “The Stars Within The Earth” will be on sale, and he will be available for book signings.

The F(a)eri(e) Tradition of witchcraft is a spiritual path unlike any other. An initiatory mystery tradition of modern Witchcraft passed down by Victor & Cora Anderson and those who have been initiated in a lineage tracing back to them, it was first popularized by Starhawk in her book The Spiral Dance, as well as through the works of Gwydion Pendderwen. Hallmarks of the Feri tradition include shamanic practices, as well as specific symbolic, meditational and inner exercises. A highly personal path, it has old and strange roots that include influences or similarities such as Huna, Afro-centered spirituality, Celtic symbolism, sexual mysticism, esoteric Christianity, Middle-Eastern mysticism, ecstatic practice, and others.

 POTLUCK   FEAST
 
Since our gathering is at the dinner hour, we ask that you bring a potluck dish and/or non-alcoholic brew to share that serves 4-6 people. Let’s treat ourselves to a good meal. Please bring your own place setting. There will be hot water available for tea.
 
We ask non-members to make a donation of $5 – 3 to help us cover operating costs. No one turned away for lack of funds.
