The DustBunnies/MarchHares Big Damn Handout Volume I © 2007, 2008 by Valerie Walker (veedub) except as otherwise indicated Mission statement: To me the Feri Tradition is not a set of doctrines; it's a tool kit, it's a way of being in (and between) the worlds. It's one way of entry (among many others) into the perennial philosophy which has existed since the human race began. It's constantly evolving and changing, like all other living things. To pin it down is to kill it. It is the ability to live with paradox, to balance the inner believer and the inner skeptic. As Cora Anderson said, "It 's not cut and dried." And, as Cora also said, "It 's really simple." ...is It one thing? Are we one Tradition? Do we sing one Song? Yes. No. It 's up to you. ...and that's *my* Truth. --veedub Contents Lesson 1: Everything You Know Is Wrong............................................................................................... 6
