There is a particular Faerie initiatory lineage

• The lineage is ultimately traceable back to Victor or Cora, sometimes through Gwydion.
• There are particular secret names known to initiates.
• There are certain exercises to develop and strengthen the Faerie energy current, including:
  • the Iron Pentacle,
  • the Pearl Pentacle,
  • the Lead Pentacle,
  • Blue Fire visualization and use
• There is a set of deities - while some of these deities may be found in other traditions, the grouping of the deities and their relationships with each other is unique to Faerie.
• There is a unique set of guardians and invocations. The guardians may be associated with the quarters or with the elements. Each is not necessarily associated at all times with both a quarter and an element.
• Work is based on the knowledge of the Three Selves.
• The initiate gets a cord, or cingulum, of a particular color.
• The initiate is passed a body of poetic and liturgical material, although exactly what it consists of varies a bit from one branch to another.
