Honoring the Gods, the Nature Spirits, and our Ancestors.

We try to follow the Old Ways of our ancestors as closely as possible, using a common Indo-European liturgy which can be adapted for specific cultures. We're also committed to doing public ritual: every ADF grove has at least eight publicly-open High Day rites a year that follow a Core Order of Ritual, and many have monthly blessing rites as well. Individuals are encouraged to observer the High Days with Core Order of Ritual rites, but it's not required.
