Clouding the Guardians

Since I know students and non-Feri people read this:   The Korythalia/Bloodrose notes have been passed around the tradition for decades.  Where they came from is absolutely common knowledge, and I could produce a whole bunch of people who received them directly from Gabriel, as well as a couple of people who were around when they were written, without trying very hard.  Any claims that "nobody knows" who wrote that material (which has been tried before) is absolutely not credible. 

There are substantive disagreements at the heart of our (or your, if you're of the persuasion that students aren't fully Feri) schism. Questions like, "What should be held secret, and what should be in public," and "Who wrote that, where did it come from, who has the right to share it and how," and "How can Feri be effectively taught?"

There are also personal feuds, misunderstandings grown into flame wars, slander, calumny, and partisan reactiveness bouncing around a small and increasingly shit-stained echo chamber.

Please, folks. Separate the light from the heat.

What the Dustbunnies Swept Under the Rug

Grumpy Fae by Steven Hewell

"If you’re working in the Feri Tradition, being seen as 'not very nice' isn’t going to keep you up at night. Our teachings place a very strong emphasis on guarding our own life-force. Our life-force is the presence of the Divine within us; to respect and honor it is to respect and honor God Herself. In the face of that, the opinions of users, crazy-makers, and energy-suckers tend to get short shrift. "

That, my friends, was written by my initiator, a man I deeply respect.  Draw your own conclusions.

Here is a statement posted to freeferi.org:  

if you have evidence of the same nature (e-mails and documents with date stamps, published material, or statements by two or more people with direct knowledge, etc.) to refute anything I have written here, I will post either the counter-evidence or (if sufficiently convincing) a retraction.

I trust that will be enough.  Truth is a virtue.

Free Feri Dot Org is a site run by initiates of the Faery Tradition. It is a complimentary site to faerytradition.org, faeryroads.com, and faerytradition.eu

There is a new post about plagiarism on the site, and I thought I would notify folks here. While I did not write this post, I read it with enthusiasm and thought others wuld like the chance to comment on it. Enjoy!

Dead, Mad, or a Poet: A Journal to Faerie

Promote Your Page Too

I am totally just playing around with the techno-gadgets. But we DO have a Facebook page. I really want to produce the magazine as a smartphone app the way "Steampunk Tales" is done, but lack sufficient geekery for that.

Pretty soon I'll have the cover art for the first issue, and eventually a preliminary Table of Contents. Whee!
