## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent information source for seekers of the Feri tradition of witchcraft
*by C***) on August 10, 2014*

The Heart of the Initiate is a wonderful book. This book was created by Victor and Cora Anderson for their students and those interested in the Feri tradition of witchcraft. The forward states:“THIS BOOK IS A VALENTINE from Victor and Cora Anderson to you. For those of us who are their initiates, the Andersons live on through the many personal recordings and letters we held close and treasure. We’re grateful for this great opportunity to share rare insights into the Anderson’s teachings, and offer you an imitation of what it was like to be their student.”It is clear that the Andersons wanted their teachings to be preserved and shared. That they wanted more people to understand and know what their tradition was and is all about. The proof is in the quote mentioned above. For this reason the book was created which allows seekers like me and students of Feri to see what the actual founders and high masters said about the tradition and their teachings.Due to the nature of this book there are not chapters. The book reads like correspondences which is what they are. There are a few sections in which various teachings are written about in letter or essay form, but not your traditional chapters and sections style.The first section of the book is called Some Pictish views on the old religion. Here we learn about some origins of the practices and how the religion is different from others. It talks about the origins and how sex is sacred. There is a little bit on basically all aspects of the Craft in this section written by Victor.The second section of the book is called Commentaries. In this section there are a few specific articles on points important to the specific Feri tradition of witchcraft as they teach it. Topics include Raising power to divinity, Sexual Initiation, Sexual ethics, Training and Initiation, The Consort, The Guardians, The morning prayer, Possession, and Salvation. All of these concepts are teachings important in the Feri tradition to some extent and these basic articles express how they work and what they mean.The third section of the book is the most informative section of the book. Here there are glimpses at some of the rites and materials actually presented to their students. There are exercises and explanations given. The letters are written by Victor and Cora presented to us as they responded to their students. The only thing missing in this section would be the letters from the students to their teachers so the context makes more sense.The very last section of the book is important for seekers like myself. In many books on traditional witchcraft there is an exercise to switch from a Christian path to a Traditional witchcraft path which involves the reciting of the Lord Prayer backwards. Here Victor describes yet another prayer that can be used which is essentially a modified version of the Lords prayer for seekers trying to be open to new paths and teachings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read after 50 Years in the Feri Tradition
*by P***K on April 13, 2015*

This book along with 50 YEARS IN THE FERI TRADITION by Cora Anderson is essential reading for those interested in the Anderson Feri Tradition. I mention the other book because HEART OF THE INITIATE: FERI LESSONS builds on what is presented in Cora's deep theological text. Both works are of vital importance to Seekers because with the diverse lineages within the Tradition, each with their own interpretations of this fascinating form of American Traditional Witchcraft, it can sometimes be confusing to know exactly what these witches believe. When in doubt go to the source(s) or in this case the founders.The two books are very different in tone. As I mentioned previously 50 YEARS is a deep theological text in spite of its small size (both books are slender volumes that can be read in a single setting), which took me three readings to adequately absorb and comprehend all the nuisances.Heart of the Initiate was easier to read and understand (perhaps because it is comprised of correspondences that break up the material into shorter tidbits?). I differ in opinion with the reviewer who suggested the book was more appropriate for experienced Feri practitioners. Provided you read 50 YEARS first, the material flows seamlessly.Lastly, Victor Anderson provides a self dedication rite at the end of the book, which the Feri founder adapted from the rite in Paul Huson's classic work Mastering Witchcraft (1970).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Heart of the Initiate: Feri Lessons  by Victor and Cora Anderson
*by W***N on December 23, 2013*

My word, this is extreme heavy! It sinks in like an iron weight and soars as an eagle into consciousness like an intense blue flame! These people are actually 'wise ones'; they do 'know'! And they're American, and have spoken. The book is an example of a truly American Witchcraft. If you think you need this book, you do. You will not be disappointed. This book is a practical, concise statement about the Feri Tradition. I have purposely not given you a peek at its contents. You need the first impact to fully acclimate your being to this document. It's a tiny tome and trove of reveal.
