Hey Faerywolf! Great to see your new edits on the page - it's very good to have a real specialist here. My only concern is that we might have a potential conflict of interests at hand. Are you Storm Faerywolf of feritradition.org? If so, we may have to remove some of this because of Wikipedia's policy on no original research. It's great that so much is cited now, but it would be nice to have more material from a place other than this one source, particularly if you are that source. Thanks! --TurabianNights 04:32, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Back again! Do you suppose we could pare down the external links? There are an awful lot of them, and many of them are easily accessible by googling "feri tradition"... there probably doesn't need to be such a laundry list here. Also, do we really need to cover all the people in "History and Lines"? Some, like Anaar and Thorn Coyle, seem rather minor here.--TurabianNights 04:41, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's me. I didn't realize the policy but that makes sense. I liked your changes. Please feel free to pare down or cut out entirely whatever seems redundant, unnecessary, or conflicts with Wikipedia policies. I would argue, however, that neither Anaar or Thorn Coyle are all that minor, but your mileage may vary. ;) --Faerywolf

[edit] Editing suggestions

The way it reads, it implies that Starhawk was a student of Victor and Cora's but not their initiate; but she's an initiate and has initiated other people into the tradition. Also, Tony Spurlock says that his "line" isn't a separate tradition at all (per his website). I don't think "most Feris" would think that it was, necessarily. I'm not sure how to fix those things without some major rearranging. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mabonwy (talk • contribs) 22:55, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I added in that Starhawk used to be a Feri initiate, since she has now "turned" to Reclaiming. Not sure if that is grammatically correct. Disinclination (talk) 17:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Once an initiate, always an initiate: Victor said that only the Gods can undo an initiation. It's possible to focus on other things (as Starhawk has done with Reclaiming--though her Feri background continues, with other things, to inform her Reclaiming practice). It's possible to abandon one's practice altogether. Neither of these acts undoes an initiation.Valerie voigt (talk) 21:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)Valerie_Voigt
