Raven’s Cry Grove, ADF is committed to excellence in individual scholarship, public group ritual and personal development within the context of the Druidic path.
Raven’s Cry Grove, ADF is a public Druid Grove within Ár nDraíocht Féin, a Druid Fellowship. Since 1999 we have provided a community for modern Druids in the Los Angeles area.
We invite you to join us every High Day as we honor the gods and explore the spirit and lore of Indo-European traditions.
Public Group Ritual
The grove has been offering public group ritual for the eight high days since it’s founding in 1999. Membership in Raven’s Cry Grove is open to anyone who has attended at least one public ritual and supports the aims of Raven’s Cry Grove and of ADF. Becoming a Member implies a willingness to study, to be of service during public rituals and other activities, and to provide financial support as one is able. Joining as a Friend is a way to learn about Raven’s Cry Grove and ADF, while deciding if druidry is the path for you or if you simply wish to support the Grove and its work. Joining as a Member is a two-way commitment with our Grove to be active and support
Ár nDraíocht Féin
ADF is an international fellowship devoted to creating a public tradition of Neopagan Druidry. Though we do not consider ourselves Re-constructionists — we do believe in the importance of scholarship. Through the on-going study and discussion of archeology, history, and comparative mythology we have developed methods of worship that we believe our Paleopagan ancestors would recognize and respect as akin to their own. The Shining Ones, the Ancestors, and the Nature Spirits deserve the very best that we can give them, so we encourage our members to pair their study and critical thinking skills with the pursuit of creative and artistic excellence. Rooted in ancient soil, yet reaching for the stars — Neopagan Druidry is a tradition, a philosophy, and a way of life for its practitioners.
