I've got a question about the Star Goddess, i know in the Feri Tradition, i think the Star Goddess is seen as everything, and isn't like a 'typical' goddess, and is more transgendered (i think, correct me if i'm wrong?), but i was just wondering, would she/he/it be the same as Mother Nature (as i've read some things that seem to say yes) or is she more than that, like beyond nature, even beyond the universe (i know i'm probably sounding like the FE in Buffy season 7!), and is she the creator of the universe/multiverse.

Also, does the Star Goddess, if she's the creator, take an interest in people, as some people say that a creator would be too distant to care about just us on this planet or realm, but i'm not sure how the Star Goddess is seen by Feri practicioners.

And, if i could just ask one final question and also to save writing another thread, in the Feri tradition, can practicioners practice another path seperate from the Feri Tradition (like could i be part of the Feri tradition as well being a Hellenic reconm or a Kemetic recon or Sumerian recon, etc, it's something i'm itnerested in but i want to be respectful to all the deities involved and i don't want to be too eclectic, although i'd keep both paths seperate).

Anyway, thanks for any help, and hope this made some sense :).

Victor always said, "All Gods are Feri Gods."

MY opinion--yes, can do Feri as well as another path--but keep the practices seperate.

Star Goddess=Mother Nature--no, not really. Mother Nature=Gaia would be closer

She is more than Mother Nature--She is the Universe. Yes, She takes interest--I know this one for a fact...She has taken interest in myself and granted me Her sight once. Awesome experience, but scary too.

There are two songs dedicated to the Star Goddess on the 'Hymns to the Star Goddess' radio show I just broadcast for Onetribe (http://www.onetribe.me.uk), you can download the show from the website if you have an interest.

One of the tracks is:
'Circle of Seven Stars' which has a sort of Goddess list recited over the coda - much like your Feri quote.

The other is:
'River of Stars' dedicated to the Star-Goddess in her aspect as Hera/Juno, goddess of the milky way. The ancient Greeks considered the milky way, that band of cloudy stars to be the breast milk of Hera.

This is really interesting. Now I want to learn more about Feri Witchcraft. Better go read Thorn Coyle's book...

Spiral dance would be better--thorn's book is not a beginner's book--spiral dance is Feri, as well.
