Feri Tradition (Religion)

The Feri Tradition is an American neo-pagan tradition related to Neopagan witchcraft. It took shape on the West Coast of the United States between the 1950s and the 1960s and is credited to Victor Henry Anderson and his wife, Cora Anderson. Practitioners describe it as an ecstatic tradition rather than a fertility tradition, placing strong emphasis on sensual experience and awareness, including a sexual mysticism that is not limited to heterosexual expression. This entry is the religious tradition itself, the subject to which historical figures such as Victor Henry Anderson are recorded as revered by adherents, and it stands beside the denomination-type entry Feri Tradition, which is linked to it as the same subject.
