Who We Are:
As it says on our home page: We are an official Grove (congregation) of Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship (ADF); an international fellowship devoted to creating a public tradition of Neopagan Druidry. There is a lot there in that one little sentence but what does it mean?
Neopagan Druidry is a group of religions, philosophies and ways of life, rooted in ancient soil yet reaching for the stars. We are part of the larger Neopagan movement, one of the world's most vital and creative new religious awakenings. Like much of that movement we are polytheistic nature worshippers, working with the best aspects of the Pagan religions of our predecessors within a modern scientific, artistic, ecological and wholistic context using a nondogmatic and pluralistic approach.
We call ourselves Druids, and we look to the ancient Druids -- the priests, priestesses, wise ones, and magicians of the ancient Celts -- for much of our inspiration. Like them, we're people who value excellence.
Although our name implies an inclination towards things Celtic, we seek to understand all of the currents within the Indo-European spectrum of religions. In addition to those who follow Celtic ways we welcome Norse, Hellenic, Baltic, Slavic, and Latin Neopagans, and encourage each to take up the worship and magic of the old ways.
