Some people are good at creating their own religious practices and maintaining them. Some people are good at creating their own religion! I am not one of these people. Discipline and motivation are not my strong points. For that reason, combined with my interest in the Celtic pantheon, I have joined Ar nDraiocht Fein (www.adf.org).
Membership in ADF, A Druid Fellowship, allows one to participate in their Druid study program. The beginning course, called the Dedicant Path, is a year long (minimum) curriculum concerned with learning the Druid ethics, participating in the eight Holy Days, scholarship in Indo-European religion and culture, and building relationships with the Spirits. A number of essays are required to complete the Dedicant Path.
I am lucky that there are other ADF Dedicants in my home town with whom to study. They hold regular study groups for both the Dedicant Path and for book reviewing. A large, established group about an hour away holds ritual for each of the Holy Days.
Once I receive my confirmation and info packet from ADF, I’ll update this site with the work I do for the Dedicant Path.

Welcome to ADF Fierflye.
Although I am far from your home town, I stumbled upon your blog and thought I would stop and say hi.
