sistasea@aol.com BioI'm a Feri Witch, a Shamanista, a Wild Woman traversing the terrain between stars and the delightful/dangerous roads of those places polite company doesn't speak about (sex, death, money,religion, politics, self-responsibility). I am the well honed blade of the knife glinting in the darkness--reflecting the star-studded black of Night. I am the sacred consort of gods and God Herself. My kiss heals--and sears. I influence atoms and cellular structures. Strong and Fierce and Wildly Compassionate.
We sometimes (not entirely jokingly) say that Feri is a Sex Cult. As such, I invite you to participate in this silent, distant orgy of words, ideas, poetry and image--the ecstatic meanderings of a Mad Feri Poet/Priest compelled to say her peice/peace.
Before I begin, let me make a disclosure/disclaimer. I don't care about entymology. It matters not to me whether one places the athame to the right or left of the candle (or if you own one, for that matter). I don't claim what I say here is "traditional" Feri, but that it is true for me (at least in the moment I write it), a Feri Priest, an ecstatic Shamaness indigenous to New England in the 20th-21st Century; a quiet comtemplative and rowdy wild woman. I won't entertain arguments for I have little time for such a waste of precious life force. I don't really care whether you agree with me, if you like me, or appreciate my writing. What I care about is the word hitting the back of your retina--that moment of intimate sharing of ecstatic experience between Lovers . . . and we are all Lovers just as we are all Warriors. I am aware that I contradict myself from day to day - - this is part of what I do, this ability to hold many truths in simultaneous reverence. I understand that my thoughts do not march neatly in linear order but run wild through fields, soar through star-studded space and sink into mud-mired depths. This is my way. I know my poetry is not metered or rhymed or carefully constructed. Rather, it comes to me full blown in moments of ecstatic embodiement and demands to be committed to the page without edit. This is my way. Spells and rituals are interwoven in my daily round, often without warning! My magical work is practical, messy, spur-of-the-moment and inspired, yet at the same time it is precise, conscious, responsible. I am not a devotee of high ritual forms and as such, am inclined to call myself some kind of inidigenous shaman as often as I call myself a Witch. What I'm saying here is that the reader should expect the unexpected. You'll not find formulas. You may find my rants unbearable. It's okay. If you don't like what I am serving up, you must recognize that no one is forcing you to consume it. Turn the page - - find something else to read that confirms reality as you perceive it. I will not be offended. As Rumi said, "There are a thousand ways to kneel as kiss the earth."
In more concrete terms, I am an Initiated Feri Witch and the founder of the BlackHeart line and a Feri teacher focused on embodiment of the Tradition and the development of Feri Priests. My website is www.blackheartferi.com
