Feri Deities

It is often stated that "All gods are Feri gods", and the truth of this is one of the paradoxes of the tradition. While some lines place a special emphasis on certain deities or pantheons, there is no one pantheon that is universal among Feri. However, certain deities are given special importance in most lines of the tradition:

  • The Star Goddess is the central deity of Feri. Sometimes referred to as "God Herself", S/he is the androgynous point of all creation, the light that divided the first dark, the intelligence of the great Void. Feri belief states that it is from Her whom all things emerge, and to Her whom all things return.
  • The Divine Twins are the children of the Star Goddess and can manifest as a male/female pair, or a same-sex pair of either gender. Together They can represent either the power of polarity or resonance. In Feri theology they are often a sexually active pair, regardless of Their gender. It is said that each can perform the other's function and can merge together as easily as two candle flames merging into one.
  • The Blue God is frequently said to be the first born of the Star Goddess. Sometimes He is seen as being one of the Divine Twins, although like much of Feri this varies. He is the spirit of youth and of eroticism and often appears as a somewhat androgynous male figure with blue skin and peacock feathers in His hair. He is related to the Yazidi angel Melek Taus and indeed some lines of Feri see the two as a single being. One of his names, "Dian y Glas" (which means Dian the blue or blue Dian in Welsh), is said to be a Feri name for the God Self, and as such some see the Blue God as being humanity's collective Godself personified.

Other deities worshiped may vary among the different lines of Feri. Some use the lemniscate (infinity symbol) as a cosmological glyph to describe seven main deities of the tradition, sometimes called The Infinitum, but this is far from universal. In this system it is taught that all gods and goddesses can be placed somewhere on the glyph, underscoring the Feri aphorism cited above, "All gods are Feri gods".
