Faery Wicca, or Fairy Wicca, is any tradition of modern Wicca that places an

emphasis on the Fey (goblins, elves, faeries, sprites, etc.), their lore, and their
relation to the natural world. Abbreviation FW
Type Syncretic Wicca
"Faery Wicca" also refer to a specific tradition of Wicca, recently founded by
Orientation Celtic
author Kisma Stepanich. Adherents of Stepanich's Faery Wicca claim that it
Neopaganism
recovers the traditions of the Tuatha De Danaan, the mythological precursors to
the Celtic people;[1] however, this is disputed by those familiar with ancient Celtic Governance Priesthood
polytheism and mythology.[2] Stepanich's Faery Wicca draws liberally on some Founder Kisma Stepanich
degree of Irish mythology, from the author's interpretation of Celtic history, Members Unknown
legend, pseudohistory, imagination, and a variety of non-Celtic sources.[1][2]
Other name(s) Fairy Wicca
Faery Wicca is not related to the late Victor Anderson's Feri Tradition of
witchcraft, which is sometimes also spelled Faery or Fairy, nor is it directly related to the gay men's group, the Radical
Faeries. Though Faery Wicca may draw inspiration from some of the customs practiced among the ancient and modern
Celts, it shares more with other modern Wiccan traditions than with the "Fairy Faith" as it is known in traditional Gaelic
cultures.[2]
