Victor Henry Anderson (May 21, 1917, Clayton, New Mexico – September 20, 2001) was an American poet, Kahuna, and leader and teacher of the Feri Tradition (sometimes spelled Fairy, Faery or Faerie). An accident early in life left him nearly blind.
Victor claimed to be initiated "in 1926 by a Priestess from Africa",[citation needed] and to have been a member of Harpy Coven around that time. He also claimed ancestral connections to a variety of shamanic traditions including the Sami,Native American, Hawaiian and Pictish. Part of what made Victor Anderson's teaching unusual, is he attempted to draw from and unify a variety of shamanic traditions in a way accessible to modern Americans.
Victor met Cora on Beltane 1944, and were married 3 days later. The following year, their son Elon would be born.[1]
In 1975, his book Thorns of the Blood Rose received the Clover International Poetry Competition Award.[citation needed]
The Andersons initiated a number of influential people in contemporary Paganism, such as Starhawk[2][3] and the late Gwydion Pendderwen[3] Victor and Cora are regarded as Grand Masters of the Feri Tradition.[4]
