Victor Henry Anderson (May 21, 1917, Clayton, New Mexico – September 20, 2001) was an American poet, Kahuna, and leader and teacher of the Feri Tradition (sometimes spelled Fairy, Faery or Faerie). An accident early in life left him nearly blind.
Victor claimed to be initiated "in 1926 by a Priestess from Africa", and to have been a member of Harpy Coven around that time.
Victor met Cora on Beltane 1944, and were married 3 days later. The following year, their son Elon would be born.[1]
In 1975, his book Thorns of the Blood Rose received the Clover International Poetry Competition Award.
The Andersons initiated a number of influential people in contemporary Paganism, such as Starhawk[2][3] and the late Gwydion Pendderwen[3] Victor and Cora are regarded as Grand Masters of the Feri Tradition.[4]
