  The Faery Tradition
The Faery Tradition, in common with initiatory lineages of the Craft which practice possession, is a mystery tradition of power, mystery, danger, ecstacy, and direct communication with divinity.
The magical practices of the Faery (or Feri, as Victor spells it) Tradition are heavily invocatory, to encourage possession, which relies mainly on psychic talent or sensitivity to occur.
Victor tells of antecedents of the present tradition in the coven in which he was involved in the l920's and 30's in Oregon.

  Feri Tradition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Within the Feri tradition there is a deep respect for the wisdom of Nature, a love of beauty, and an appreciation of bardic and mantic creativity.
and the truth of this is one of the paradoxes of the tradition.
This line of Feri is currently being taught in the Santa Cruz mountains by J'té Argent, with the blessings of her teacher and initiator, Alison, who passed through the veil on June 13th, 2004.

 Homosexuality and Wicca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traditional Wiccan covens aspire to having equal numbers of men and women, to embody their belief in the importance of balance between the male and female (which extends sexually).
The Feri Tradition is very open to all sexual orientations and some sources encourage bisexuality during rituals to reach states of ecstasy.
In addition, the Feri Tradition teaches about the Divine Twins, who oftentimes appear as a sexually active same-gendered pair, as well as of the Blue God (http://www.faerywolf.com/bluegod.htm), a queer (and often androgynous) deity associated with snakes and with spring.

 Feri Tradition: History
The blind shaman and poet Victor Anderson (1917-2001) was quite adamant that Feri was a survival of the magickal spirituality of the stone age little people of Britain, Scotland, and Africa, and he made no distinction between Feri and the earliest forms of human magick.
Feri is often cited as being a "left hand path" which incorporates (or at least condones) practices that other "more civilized" forms of magic would rather leave alone, such as sex, and mind-altering substances.
Feri has traditionally been an oral tradition, and the fierce solitary nature of many within the tradition has made accurate accounts of traditional history somewhat difficult to compile.

Victor Anderson is credited with bringing the Feri tradition to the United States, where he has taught in the San Francisco area since the late 1960's.

The tradition is attuned to the solar and lunar changes, with a balance between the God and the Goddess.

 Vicia and the Anderson Feri Tradition
The Anderson Feri [1] Tradition is an initiatory form [2] of Witchcraft.
The tradition is referred to as "Anderson Feri" partly because all Feri initiates can ultimately trace their lineage back to Victor and Cora Anderson, and partly to differentiate our tradition from unrelated groups that use similar sounding terms (Faery Wicca, Radical Faeries, RJ Stewart, etc.).
Although Victor and Cora Anderson are widely acknowledged as the modern founders of the Feri Tradition, the Andersons have said on many occasions that Feri is actually a direct survival from the Stone Age.

Feri initiations can vary widely, and often do, as long as certain core lore is passed during the course of initiation.
In particular, the Feri concepts of the tripartite nature of the human psyche (which resembles similar ideas in the Hebrew Kabalah, as well as Hawaiian Huna of which Victor was particularly fond) and the Iron and Pearl Pentagrams have become familiar to many outside of our tradition.
