News & Announcements
Below are the announcements and important news for members and friends of our Grove and Druidry in general.
Holiday Ritual
Join us at our next ritual. This Rite will celebrate the season and honor the kindred. We begin with a fellowship of feasting then hold ritual. Here are the next few services:
- Litha Ritual, June 20, 2010 5 pm. Crown Point. Join us as we celebrate the Sun at Summer Solstice and the Fatherhood aspects of the Gods. We will honor Odin, Zeus, Dagda and Saule (a Sun Goddess). We also want to send some healing energy to the Earth Mother in this time of need as oil spills into the waters and threatens the environment. There is no potluck for this ritual, please share some time with your Father or someone very special. Please consider bringing non perishable food for Mama’s Kitchen and wood for the fire.
- Lughnasadh Ritual. This ritual will be held away from our normal Crown Point in the mountains at our Druidpalooza camp get away.
- Pagan Pride, September 11, 2010. Join us as we open Pagan Pride with ritual at 9 a.m. We will have our info booth and sponsor a meditation temple at the event. The event will be held at 6th and Laurel, Balboa Park and have entertainment, workshops, vendors and great community.
Wood for the fire is appreciated especially during the cold months.
Mama’s Kitchen is our community outreach and dry, non perishable food donations are appreciated and delivered for their service to shut ins.
If you wish to bring an offering for the Kindred, please do so. Ritual wear is always welcome.
If you are interested in a Druid path or would just like a different fellowship and ritual experience, we invite you to join us. We welcome guests of all paths to join us in our ritual blessings and believe you will find a warm welcome and a fun, safe, and interesting group to worship and experience the Kindred.

Druid Full Moon Rituals
As folk who honor and worship the cycles of nature, our Grove also celebrates the waxing and waning of the Moon. As druids, we hold private rituals for the Dark Moon, Full Moon and New Moon (Sixth Night Moon). On occassion, we hold public Full Moon Rituals at local venues or Pagan Stores.
