| Changes in trad over time |

Been contemplating Feri trad, and how it's changing. Or rather, how public perception of it is changing.
Feri's a small trad. A cluster of lines, really, pointing to a single originator (although there's some debate about lines that don't trace to Victor Anderson, there are few enough of them, and they're not publicly active much, so the debate remains mostly academic). So: fifteen years ago, Feri was a little-known Wicca-ish variant active in the SF Bay Area. (It's not really Wicca-ish, in that it doesn't trace to Gardner at all. But it does cast circles, call four elements, honor a moon goddess, and so on. From the outside, especially from a non-pagan outside, it looks like Wicca. Fine.)
