What is Vicia?

 

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 appear under Branches of Feri.

The word "Vicia" also has an older meaning. In 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.

Material from the Andersons is carefully preserved and properly attributed. We also add new work 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 our knowledge and abilities should be used for the benefit of the entire human community.

See Vicia Thealogy for an outline of the Vicia understanding of the Andersons' teachings on deity.
