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.

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:
“Welcome to the great American two-career family and pass the aspirin please.”
—Anastasia Toufexis (20th century)
“Even when seen from near, the olive shows
A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
