The Fairy Tradition of Wicca

I think of myself as eclectic Wiccan. In reality, I lean heavily toward Celtic beliefs with a heavy emphasis of The Fairy Tradition of Wicca. I am asked alot about what the Fairy Tradition (also known as Faery, Fey, or Feri) is all about. So I thought that I would describe it here.

This description is about what the true definition is, not exactly what I personally believe. I will talk more about that at a later date. For now, we will stick to the Fairy Tradition as a whole.

Fairy Wiccan emphasizes sensual awareness and experiences, rather than fertility as many Wiccan traditions do. It is gender and sexual orientation neutral. There are no specific laws governing behavior as there are with many other traditions. Initiates see themselves as "Fey' when enchanted. Meaning, t here is no black, no white. But rather beyond the bounds of social definitions. Much of this path's realities boundaries are undefined. Followers realize that much of their world is unseen and unknown.

The use of Fairy Power, an energy current, is probably the most distinguishing feature of the this path.

Nature is deeply respected. Wisdom comes from nature. Their is a deep-seated love for beauty, creativity, art and music.

The Gods of the Fairy Tradition are real. The have a separate sense of morality and followers of this tradition are responsible to them. There is a real sense of relationship between Deity and practitioner. Trances and meditations are often used to achieve this connection.

At the basis of most branches of this traditions are doctrines of the Three Souls, the Black Heart of Innocence, and the Iron and Pearl pentacles. Followers are encouraged never waste or give away any personal energy. Techniques to turn negative energy into positive energy are encouraged.
