Cora Anderson co-founder of the Feri Tradition and spiritual sister/mother to many within the neo-paganism awakening here in America crossed over yesterday on Beltane. She was 93 years old.
Cora came into our world on January 26th 1915 in Alabama. Born as a coal miner’s daughter and raised in a family tradition of healing, Cora started in this world with an interesting and challenging foundation having lost her mother when she was only one year old. She moved from Alabama to Oregon in the early 1940’s where she continued to grow connected to the new land that surrounded her.
In Oregon she met her beloved mate and other founder of the Feri Tradition in husband Victor Anderson. They married on May 3rd 1944.
Though we know and understand that she now with her Victor, we will deeply miss her presence on this plane.

I can teach the children and instruct the young Maidens
For I have learned how to use my power
And never give it away.
