The explanation about Victor's encounter I believe I read in a comment in the Feri lj community, possibly written by Storm Faerywolf.
See, even though I'm practicing Feri, and very much enjoy Feri, I do feel the need to completely tailor my own spiritual system. I'm read that this is something a lot of Feris feel, and this is why so many go on to form their own traditions and sub-traditions of Feri. Many Feris also hold dual membership with Feri and another spiritual tradition, usually Voudon, Wicca, Thelema, or Reclaiming (which, in itself, is actually an off-shoot of Feri).
As regards tossing things out, well, if you ask most Feris what their practice consists of, you'll get wildly different answers from each, some so different that you really have to question when it stops being Feri and starts being something else. The commonalities usually lie in the concepts of the Three Souls and Black Heart of Innocence, and use of the common Feri tools, such as the Iron and Pearl Pentacles, Kala, and The Ha Prayer (usually in conjuction with The Flower Prayer).
Victor used to teach different lore to different people. So I see the *lore* as tossable, whereas the core practice is somewhat more immutable.
