FERAFERIA NEWS:

Fred McAdams features in 'Dancing With Gaia'.
March 2009. Fairfax filmmaker Jo Carson's new documentary Dancing With Gaia makes the connection between earth energy, sacred sexuality, and the earth seen as the Goddess, or 'Gaia'. It will premiere Sunday afternoon as part of the Fairfax Documentary Film Festival on April 5th at 2pm, at the Fairfax Theater.

Dancing With Gaia takes viewers throughout Europe, the Mediterranean and the US. It highlights the sacred sites of many ancient earth-centered religions. With this backdrop, fifteen visionaries stir the imagination with new ways of looking at the world. They also explain how to release conditioning that keeps people from experiencing the earth as part of their own body, and provide tools to begin personally feeling the life of the planet.
Among the speakers are Monica Sjoo (1938 - 2005), co-author of The Great Cosmic Mother, Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth, Francesca De Grandis, founder of Faerie Nation and author of Be A Goddess!, geomancer Richard Feather Anderson, Cerridwen Fallingstar, author of The Heart of the Fire, Joan Marler, editor of Marija Gimbutas' The Civilization of the Goddess, and Fred Adams (1928 - 2008), founder of the early pagan group, Feraferia.
Director Jo Carson worked for 20 years to bring the film to completion, and feels strongly about her message: Our culture needs new myths to live by, which include the experience of earth and our bodies as sacred. As KPFA radio producer Joan Marler says, "As long as we conceive of divinity as outside or above us, there is no way we can change our course." But by honoring our relations with all beings, the sacred earth and our own bodies, we can create a future of balance and beauty. This insightful film shows April 5th, 2 pm at the Fairfax Theater, 9 Broadway in Fairfax. Several of the speakers will answer questions after the screening.

Fred McAdams passed over to the other side in California on saturday the 9th of august 2008 at 8:00 am.
It was a shock to everyone who knew him, pagans and non pagans alike. The memorial service took place sunday, the 28th of September, 2008, at the Mont Salvat Temple and Hermatage of the OTA Lodge in Pasadena, California.

The following images of the memorial service were sent to me by Patricia Ancona of Feraferia.







Fred was of great importance, not only for our own Dutch group, but also for the Pagan Community as a whole. In the 1960's it was Fred who organised the Council of Themis, and together with Anderson he founded the Fairy Faith, which later on gave birth to Faery Wicca and Fred's own Feraferia movement. In the time I helped him organising his Feraferia texts and turn them into some kind of complete 'Book of Shadows' he was my closest advisory by organising my own group here in the Netherlands. I'm truly sad I never got the chance to meet him personally.......

A great artist, magus, magister, but most of all human and friend has gone.
May the Wings of the Lady Caress and Protect Him on his way to the Summerland.

Other people will maintain and continue his work for the future. The current board of Feraferia will be Poke Runyon, Pat Ancona and Jo Carson. They will keep Feraferia alive in California by organising at least one Feraferia seasonal ceremony per year. Meanwhile according to Fred's ideas we will be working hard on his texts and in time we will offer them to the community for free to download them in the lay-out and way it was intended. Links will appear on this side as soon as this project will start.
