Dianic Wicca - Family Tree

Family Tree

Traditions derived from Zsuzsanna Budapest:

  • Dianic Tradition/Dianic Wicca, a Feminist Goddess women's tradition of Wicca started by Zsuzsanna Budapest and her book, "The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries."
  • Dianic Witches, who may have been inspired by Z Budapest, the New York Redstocking's W.I.T.C.H. manifesto, or woman's spirituality movements, who emphasize self-initiation, womanism and non-hierarchical organization. Some Dianics fall into this category, acknowledging Z. Budapest as a foremother, and do not participate in the initiation/ordination lineage of Dianic Wicca.

Other related traditions:

  • McFarland Dianic, a Neopagan Faerie Faith lineage tradition started by Morgan McFarland; one of relatively few Dianic traditions which accepts male members.
  • The Living Temple of Diana, founded by Devin Hunter; accepts members of all genders. Stems from "The Cult of Diana" a Diana-centered form of traditional witchcraft. Not affiliated with Temple Of Diana or McFarland Dianic Traditions.

    What he loved so much in the plant morphological structure of the tree was that given a fixed mathematical basis, the final evolution was so incalculable.
