The Further Poetry of
Victor Anderson
Before his death (in 2001), Victor Anderson selected the poems
contained in Lilith's Garden
for publication. This book is a companion volume to his classic first
book of poetry, Thorns of the Blood
Rose.
Reviews
"Victor was a true bard, as evidenced by the
beautiful legacy of poetry
he infused into the Feri Tradition."
--Witch Eye
magazine
"Victor Anderson lives still in these fierce loving poems, in which the
simplest words burst forth into brilliant flower. Sonorous and elegant,
his poems capture the pagan heart."
--Patricia Monaghan,
award-winning author of Seasons of
the Witch
"Each poem is an initiation, an epiphany, a spell."
--Mike Nichols, celebrated
author of The Witches' Sabbats
"This is a symphony of Victor’s great divine love for the Goddess,
expressed in ecstasy. Lilith’s Garden
is a fitting companion to Thorns of
the Bloodrose."
--Anaar, author of The White Wand
Endorsements
"Victor was one of my first
teachers in the Craft. I will always be grateful for the worlds he
opened up for me. … He was fierce, passionate, powerful, real. An
inspired poet, he was a brilliant creator of myth and liturgy. He was
allied spiritually with all the indigenous traditions of the planet; a
true shaman."
--Starhawk, bestselling author
of The
Spiral Dance
"My interview with the poet and shaman Victor
Anderson … was among the most mysterious of my encounters. His was the
only story I heard that was clearly from the land of faery. It was pure
poetry."
--Margot Adler, Drawing
Down the Moon
"Victor wrote beautifully poetic rituals for the
Faerie Tradition. Over
the years, a number of remarkable people were trained by Victor. … The
influence of the shamanic tradition now called 'Feri' has been
enormous."
--Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, Grimoire for the
Apprentice Wizard
"Victor Anderson, the most important exponent
of
the Feri/Faery Faith in America, is also the person responsible for
bringing it to this country. Victor has been a teacher and friend to
some of the most influential personalities in the Craft today. . . .
"The name of Victor Anderson is mentioned with a
great deal of reverence, as he is one of the few direct descendents of
this ancient faith. He is a keeper of the flame."
--Ellen Evert Hopman, People of the Earth (with Lawrence
Bond)
