Vicia is a branch of the Anderson Feri Tradition
of Witchcraft. There are many branches or lines within Feri, each
with its own unique flavor and practices. Thumbnail descriptions
of some of these lines may be found on this site under "Branches
of Feri." The word "Vicia" also has an older
meaning. In her book, Fifty
Years in the Feri Tradition, Cora Anderson writes: "Before
the tradition was called Fairy, it was known as Vicia, pronounced
as in Italian." (vee-chee-ah)
In Vicia, we work with a core body of lore, rituals, and practices
taught by Victor and Cora Anderson to their direct initiates.
While preserving intact and carefully identifying the material
taught by Andersons, we also add new material of our own creation
and discovery. According to the Andersons, creative inspiration
is a sign of contact with the divine, and discovery is an essential
part of the work of Witches. Victor often spoke of Witchcraft
as a magical science. He believed that the abilities we possess
and cultivate should be used not only for our own benefit but
also for the benefit of the entire human community.
