| Faerie Path Of Wicca | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Founded by Victor Anderson and Gydion Pendderwen, the Faerie path focuses on nature & ecological issues & concerns. Followers honor & revere the one creator and spirit & acknowledge this Divine light within every being. Followers also honor animal spirits & the power & protection they provide. They ascribe to the idea that life exists in a symbolic, transitory, & harmonizing spiritual dance, nothing ever stays the same, & life is a swirling mass of constantly movng energy; this is similar to Buddhists theory that there is impermanence of all mental states and material object. The Faerie path, emphasis is placed on Mother Earth's energy and her angelic protectors of nature, know as Faeries. The word faerie is said to have its roots in the Gaelic word sith or sidhe, which has several meanings: hill or mound, Divine, unearthly, supernatural, & peace. Faerie is also said to have derived from fatum or fate, which means the Goddess who control and rule over human fate; fatare, which means to enchant or mystify; & fatuae, which translates to a race of immortal female beings. Faeries are most powerful during the in-between times such as twilight and the moment just before waking up from sleep. The author Starhawk's books will provide you with additional info about the Faerie path. |
