The Feri tradition is a mystical path of spiritual development 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.

I offer Feri training in two forms: In-person classes from my store in Walnut Creek, CA, as well as long distance via mail and the internet.

  • In-person training is offered in three stages, each successive level taking the practitioner through deeper layers of Feri practice. Each session lasts roughly 3-4 hours. Potential in-person students should check my schedule for current availability.

  • Long-distance training is based on my Level One in-person class and is offered on a continual basis using both mailed lessons and scheduled voice sessions using the chat program Skype. Course length is determined entirely by the pace of the individual.

As a student you will be expected to keep an ongoing record of your experiences, devote the time and energy necessary toward performing specific meditational exercises on a regular basis, participate in class discussions, as well as turn in weekly check-ins describing your progress.

Enrolling in my classes indicates that you have read and agree to my class policies.

    No Charge
    By invitation only

    This advanced class is by invitation-only for those students who have mastered the previous work, and who have made the commitment to work toward Feri initiation. Completing this class is not a guarantee of Feri initiation but is required for consideration. Unlike the previous classes, this level provides individual training on a one-on-one basis in order to further tailor the process toward the individual student. This level will focus primarily on the Feri technique of possession, along with a special focus on the confrontation of personal demons and fears including ritual work to champion and transform them into our spiritual allies.

    Covered topics include:

      • Demon Work/The Shadow Lover
      • Possession
      • Working with Death
      • Advanced Invocation Techniques
      • Working with the Void
      Long Distance Feri Training
      (Course length will be determined by the pace of the individual)
      $20-40 per month, sliding scale

    For those individuals who wish to participate in my Feri classes but are unable to attend due to mobility, location, or other issues, I am now offering a long-distance alternative. This foundational class is based on my Level One Feri training course and covers the same material (see above). Using mailed lessons, group email discussion, art projects, and occasional internet voice-chat sessions (via Skype), the student will be guided through various aspects of Feri, culminating in the establishment of a Feri tradition spiritual practice. Students who complete this course will be eligible for enrollment in my Level Two in-person Feri training class.

Sorry, this class is full. Please check back for updates to my availability.

have been a Witch for more than 20 years and have been practicing Feri tradition for more than 15. I have lead open Witchcraft circles, given lectures, and taught classes in the Bay Area and across the US. I was initiated into the Bloodrose line of Feri and have continued to study from other branches of the tradition which I incorporate into my practice. I hold the Black Wand, a title that was conferred upon me in a rite by several initiates including Feri Grandmaster Cora Anderson, and I am the holder of my own line of Feri, Bluerose. I am the author of The Stars Within the Earth, as well as the editor of Witch Eye: A Journal of Feri Uprising.

I am also available to travel to your area within the U.S. Interested parties should email me with their booking questions.
