Is Feri a Wiccan tradition?
Feri does not subscribe to the Wiccan Rede, which is an important criterion for inclusion under the Wiccan classification. The word “Wiccan” has become a pejorative in recent years, mainly because of the proliferation of “fluff-bunny” groups who are self-taught from such watered-down sources as the Llewellyn books. However, these groups do not comprise the entirety of Wicca: aside from eclectic/inclusive groups such as Compost, there are many other traditions in the greater Craft community which share beliefs, lore, and even practice with Feri, among them 1734 (Robert Cochrane), Church and School of Wicca (Gavin and Yvonne Frost), sabbatic witchcraft (Andrew Chumbley), and others.
