Circle FAQS:

When and where are these circles held?
First Friday of the month, 7-10 pm, in the Twin Peaks neighborhood of San Francisco. email for information

Is there a fee?
There is no fee, but you should bring food to share, as there is a pot-luck dinner before circle. (And I'm not talkin' chips and dip, either; real food, please...)

Who may attend?
Any initiate or sincere student/seeker of any line of Feri/Third Road/Reclaiming.

What tools are needed for Circle?
1. A wand: A small wand, elbow-to-fingertip length or smaller, will do nicely. Which reminds me: Feri practice generally attributes wands to air and knives to fire, so if you're used to doing it the other way round, you might want to make a special wand to be used in Feri practice only. That's what I have done. But I understand that Victor was not all that concerned with directional attributions for tools, so it's not essential unless you are a Strict Hardwarian in personal style.

2. Robes: A plain black robe is optimal, but if you don't have one, ordinary comfortable clothes are fine. You just need to wear something that won't be a distraction to you. Hardly anyone but me seems to bother with robes for this circle, so it's up to you.

3. Cord: If you have been initiated into another trad, and still feel okay about this history, wear the cord/s you have earned. To my way of thinking, Feri training and initiation do not negate anything you have received before, unless your purpose is to negate it. Feri is an enhancement of what you already know.

4. An open mind, a working sense of humor, and willingness to participate.

What will we be doing in Circle?
Feri Circle in the Compost style, during which the Daily Practice is the default working, unless one of the regular attenders of this group has a different meditation or working which they wish to share with the group that evening. We are always open to requests, and there is a portion of the rite during which each participant may dedicate the merit of the rite to anyone they choose.

During the Cakes, Wine and Sacred Bullshit(TM) portion, those of us more experienced in Feri will be open to questions and discussion about our individual beliefs and practises as well as about where we got our Kewl Magickal Gewgaws. Inquiring minds want to know, right?

Update: I've recently brought the format back to a class, since lots of people seemed to prefer it. So we will be doing different things each time, within the framework of a Feri circle. Proposed curriculum (subject to change):
Lesson 1 (done): Three Souls
Lesson 2 (done): Three Pentacles
Lesson 3 (done): When Pentacles Go Wrong (fill-in-the-blanks exercise and discussion)
Lesson 4: Playing With Fire (some active work with the IP)
Lesson 5: Lemniscate Gods (guided meditation and storytelling)
Lesson 6: Pentacles and Trees, part 1: Power in Malkuth
Lesson 7: Pride in Yesod/ Dian y Glas
Lesson 8: Passion in Hod/ Nimue
Lesson 9: Self in Netzach/ Mari
Lesson 10: Sex in Tiphareth/ Krom
Lesson 11: Power/Liberty in Geburah /the Arddhu
Lesson 12:Law in Chesed/the Ana
