What is a faerie? Author: Stinky |
 | We are a network of faggot farmers, workers, artists, drag queens, leathermen, political activists, witches, magickians, rural and urban dwellers who see gays, lesbians and trans-genders as a distinct people, with our own culture, way of becoming, and spirituality. We believe that, as a people, we have unique and necessary contributions to make, ones that we must make to help regain the lost balance of the larger human community. Being radically (at the root) decentralist and anti-authoritarian, we have no leaders. Each Faerie is divine and speaks for itself. We join together with each other in mutual aid and love for play, work, self-discovery and nurturing. To be a Faerie is an act of self-definition, and while we have no dogma, we share and celebrate our common visions. Some of these are: a belief in the sacredness of nature and the earth; honoring the interconnectedness of spirit, sex, politic and culture; an understanding that each one of us has our own path (or paths) which lead to the garden-of-who-we-are. By uniting with each other in circles, gatherings and sanctuaries, we can increase the joy of weeding and tending our gardens together; a commitment to the process of group consensus; and a belief that we are each other.
