Faery Wicca
Faery Wicca is any type of
Wiccan religion that focuses on the
Fae (
gnomes, ,
faeries,
sprites, etc.), their
lore, and their relation to the
natural world.
Faery Wiccan traditions are strongly tied to nature, particularly seasonal change and the solar and lunar calendar. Developers of Faery Wicca, including
Victor and
Cora Anderson and
Gwyddion Pendderwen, claim that Faery Wicca recovers the traditions of an ancient fairy race called the
Tuatha De Danaan, the mythological precursors to the
Celtic people.[

2] Faery Wiccan practices therefore draw deeply from
Irish mythology and from Celtic history, legend, and pseudohistory.
Faery Wicca is not related to the late Victor Anderson's
Feri Tradition of
witchcraft, which is sometimes (confusingly) spelt
Faery or
Fairy.
