Here is one version of the Feri Star Goddess, based on that taught by the Bloodrose line of Faery.

Traditionally she is a jet-black skinned woman with the head of a lioness, seated upon her throne of black onyx. In my version her throne is that of the entire cosmos, a reminder of her all-encompassing existence, further symbolized by the spiral galaxy emanating from her left hand. The silver egg of creation rests in Her lap, representative of the cosmic womb. Her customary halo of black fire has here been replaced with a black oroborus, which is also Her traditional emblem.

This is one look at the maiden Goddess aspect recognized by the Feri tradition. She is the wild spirit of youth and potency; the arouser of life; the embodiment of the Black Heart of Innocence. A crescent moon rests on her brow as primal snakes writhe in her hair. Childlike exuberance exudes from her toothy grin, but watch out! For all of her cute-ness there is also something disturbing about her... a danger and even a sexuality that is not comfortable when witnessed in a creature so young. She is the first aspect of the Star Goddess, and as such embodies all of creation. The universe in the hands of a child... I hope this homage makes her happy with me.

This is my version of the Arddu, the Feri God of death.

Traditionally he has the head of a goat, and the breasts of an old woman, but He has never appeared to me in that guise. Here He is depicted with the head of a bull, a symbol that I feel better reflects His mighty power and primal nature.

He is the Guardian of the Crossroads, and the great teacher. All who would pass through the dread gate must first confront Him. He can represent our own fears, and the ecstasy that we can experience when we face them.

When Faery GrandMaster Victor Anderson was five years old, he reportedly had a vision of Holy Mother Isis, clothed in the symbols of the American flag. Here we see my recreation of this traditional Feri teaching.

According to Cora Anderson in Witch Eye #6, this Goddess has a "gold-tinted complexion, emerald green eyes and long blue-black hair. She wears a robe of black, bespangled with stars in all of the natural colors. There is a ribbon of light falling between her breasts to her bare feet. At the top of this ribbon is an inverted blue triangle with a five-pointed, white star in the middle. The ribbon has the same number of red and white stripes as the American flag."

Sometimes she is seen with her Divine Son and consort who appears as a flowing stream of green light to the left of the ribbon. In this aspect the God is the winged serpent, and is sometimes called Lemba. It is said that he is a force of creativity and compassion when he is under the left hand of the Goddess, but without her tempering influence He is a wrathful and destructive spirit.

In the F(a)eri(e) tradition, the Blue God is our own God-self... that part of us that is divine and eternal. He sometimes appears as a blue-skinned youth with peacock feathers in his hair. He is at once both spiritual and sexual, as is evidenced by his phallic serpent and his erection.

Here I have attempted to capture a soft meditative tone that I feel describes the Blue God, as well as show the raw sexual desire that he also represents. The peacock feathers form a halo around and through him and seems to be emanating from his solar plexus, while power is focused on his perineum, a power center on the body associated with sexuality, and with manifesting divine power in the physical. The traditional serpent encircles his neck, while another coils around the phallus of the young God.
