• Victor Anderson was a blind poet and shaman who began teaching the Feri Tradition (then reportedly known variously as Vicia or simply "The Craft") more or less in its modern form in the 1940s. He began initiating people into the tradition on an individual basis before the 1950s. According to Cora Anderson, Victor received a letter in 1960 from several witches in Italy, among them Leo Martello, asking him to form a coven in California. Victor taught openly for several decades before passing away in 2001.

• Gwydion Pendderwen, Anderson's Craft "foster son", worked with him during the 1950s and '60s, helping to edit and publish Victor's book, Thorns of the Blood Rose. Gwydion brought in the name "Faery" (later changed to "Feri" to avoid confusion with other groups using similar terms), emphasized Celtic origins almost exclusively in his own practice, with a smattering of Vodou; other teachers have emphasized the Hawaiian, the African-diaspora, or even traced the lineage back to the Attacotti, who were small, dark, possibly southern European settlers in Scotland thousands of years ago.

Gwydion later purchased and moved to Annwfn, 55 acres (223,000 m²) of land in Mendocino county he later deeded to the Church of All Worlds as a gift, and worked psychedelic group shamanic and Vodou rituals. Gwydion produced a large number of articles, rituals, poems, and songs before his death in 1982. There is a line of Feri descended from him, known as Watchmaker. Not much is known about this line, as its practitioners are quite reclusive.

• Alison Harlow was initiated by Victor and Gwydion in the early 1970s. She became a third degree Gardnerian many years after her Feri initiation and training, bringing a current of Gardnerianism to her lineage, Vanthi. The original coven in this line, Wings of Vanthi, disbanded; some of the original Wings of Vanthi members still work as a coven under the name Vanthe. Alison was an influential figure in the modern neopagan movement. She died in 2004.

• Eldri Littlewolf met the Andersons in 1969 and was initiated into Feri four years later. She, along with Brian Dragon, Gabriel Carillo and Steven Hewell founded coven Silver Wheel (later Korythalia, and finally Bloodrose) in the winter of 1975-76 . It disbanded in 1980.

• Gabriel Carillo, or Caradoc, taught his first classes under the name Bloodrose, which was also the name of his teaching coven; eventually his line became known by the same name. Perhaps the most influential branch of Feri, BloodRose was initially comprised of materials co-written by Carillo and Hewell, and later expanded on by Carillo. He died January 1, 2007.

• Steven Hewell, initiated by Anderson in 1976, currently lives and teaches in Atlanta, Ga. His teaching focuses closely on the core practices of Feri, incorporating elements of southern folk magic.

• Compost Coven, founded by Craft priestess Starhawk, was formed in the early 1970s. A one-time student of the Andersons, Starhawk, along with her fellow coven members, wove together several Witchcraft traditions with original material and feminist politics, creating a web of unique design which was to have a major influence on the development of modern Paganism. The original coven has since disbanded, but lives on in the (non-Feri) circle of the Winged Toads and in the (Feri) DustBunnies line taught by Valerie Walker. Starhawk later helped organize the Reclaiming tradition of witchcraft.

• Mandorla Coven was founded by initiates of Victor and Cora Anderson, and teaches a form of Feri known as Vicia. This line uses material taught by the Andersons in the '80s and '90s and differs somewhat from the majority of Feri being taught today. They trace their lineage directly to Victor and Cora. They tend to initiate first and teach afterward, and their practices are largely improvisational and less scripted than some.

• T. Thorn Coyle is a Feri and Reclaiming priestess who studied directly with Victor Anderson. She blends many influences into her line, Morningstar Feri, offering 2-year apprenticeships in cities worldwide. She is the author of the book Evolutionary Witchcraft.

• Reclaiming Feri is a line of Feri which integrates Feri and Reclaiming Tradition. Deborah Oak Cooper, an initiate in both Feri and Reclaiming, teaches and initiates from this perspective. Deborah Oak has been part of Reclaiming from its early days, a member of both the covens Windhags and Matrix along with Starhawk, Rose May Dance, and others. She was then in coven Triskets, along with Thorn Coyle. Coven Triskets formed from a small group of Reclaiming priestesses and teachers who were studying Feri. This coven was instrumental in infusing Reclaiming Tradition with their particular strain of Feri.

• FireDrakeFeri is a line of Feri developed by J'té Argent and Alison Harlow as they co-priested and taught, beginning in 1993, two years after J'té began her studies with Alison. Currently taught by J'té Argent in the Santa Cruz, California area, FireDrakeFeri combines the teachings of Wings of Vanthi Coven, Grandma Julie of the Tower family, Underworld/Overworld workings and magick of the Great Redwoods.

• Storm Faerywolf is an artist, poet, writer, and teacher who was originally trained in the Bloodrose lineage of Feri. He has studied other forms of the tradition which he incorporates into his own line, Bluerose which focuses on core Feri practice, trance, artistic expression, possession, erotic mysticism, and queer spirit. He is the editor of Witch Eye: A Journal of Feri Uprising, the author of The Stars Within the Earth, and the host of the Feri Tradition Community Resources Website.

• Anaar was named Grandmaster of the Feri tradition in the summer of 2003 by Cora Anderson. She blends elements of the Bloodrose line with an emphasis on the arts, and teaches both publicly and privately. She is the author of The White Wand: Toward a Feri Aesthetic.

• Dominic Elemirion, originally taught in the pre-Bloodrose methods but initiated by Valerie Voigt in the mid '80's, founded StarChild coven which has taken the Elvish name Elencin Line. (Elencin is Quenyan Elvish for "StarChild".) The formal training course is a bit more ceremonial with large room for ecstatic practice and experience. There is borrowing of techniques from African Traditional Religions such as chanting and dancing in ritual to bring about union with the divine. Dominic offers formal training both in the class setting and as apprenticeship depending on the student.

• Karina is a Feri intitiate tracing her lineage, BlackHeart, back to the Andersons. She teaches classes both in New England and long-distance over the internet, infusing the core teachings of Feri with an eclectic, shamanic spirit.
