About ADF

What is ADF?

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.

Inclusion Statement

Ar nDraiocht Fein is committed to upholding all members in a warm and welcoming environment. We are dedicated to providing a safe space for all of our members no matter their race, sex, gender, age, ethnicity, sexuality, or experiences. ADF seeks to build a community that encourages, understands, appreciates, and accepts diversity. We will work proactively to cultivate an environment where differences are embraced and the diversity of human expression is valued. ADF believes that our community is stronger when all members have a voice and are encouraged to contribute.

We ask the Kindreds to grant us the wisdom to know what actions to take, and the perseverance to continue when the work is difficult. Allow us the vision to see the positive pieces of our community and the courage to work to improve the negativities. Let us show hospitality through our inclusion and appreciation of diversity. May our unified piety bring us together as a community, as we find balance through moderation. We choose to maintain our integrity by upholding these virtues as we stand beside our membership.
