ADF Druidry

Ár nDraíocht Féin (ADF) is a modern tradition of pagan Druidry. Although our name is Irish, we incorporate practices from ancient and modern Indo-European cultures including Celtic, Norse, Slavic, Baltic, Greek, Roman, Persian, Vedic, and other traditions.

Our spirituality is anchored in history and informed by experience. Our practices reflect historical texts and myths as well as modern scholarship and science. ADF Druidry is both relevant for today and respectful of the past.

Together, we are creating a non-sexist, anti-racist, inclusive, publicly available religion for this – and future – generations.

ADF was founded in 1983 and is a registered 501c3 religious organization.
