There are several issues that you should be aware of though:<br /><br />1) Theological differences. There are some stark theological differences between Feri and Wicca. There is an excellent essay that highlights the differences between them. I can't remember just now who wrote it but if you google it I'm sure you will find it. I guess it all depends on your focus. If you are more ecstatic, experiential and ceremonial/qabalastic you will feel more at home with Feri, whereas if you are more interested in polarity, nature and coven work, then Wicca is for you. Obviously you can marry the two, but...<br />2) Depth versus width. ...I think it is better to have one clear tradition in which to focus your energies. It is only by dedicating deeply to a path can you reach your goals. I would be wary of stretching yourself too thinly.<br /><br />3) Different paths within Feri. I am actually being trained in Reclaiming-Feri. Reclaiming can be classed as a Wiccan tradition (although we use their techniques, as opposed to theology) and obviously Feri is, well, Feri!<br /><br />Does that help?<br /><br />LeafLeafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03905242576210397632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871841703539053103.post-87221789617039938602010-03-03T17:55:21.927+00:002010-03-03T17:55:21.927+00:00Hi, do You know any witch who is initiated in Wicc...Hi, do You know any witch who is initiated in Wicca and Feri?
