What is Paganism and Druidry?
ADF Druidry
ADF Druidry is a branch of Neo-Paganism with a distinct history and set of traditions. We are a polytheistic, scholarly, and liturgy focused community that seeks to honor the ancestors, land spirits, and Godden.

Paganism
Paganism, or Neo-Paganism, is a modern religious movement that encompasses a wide variety of practices and beliefs. Broadly, Neo-Pagans tend to honor nature, honor the pre-Christian beliefs of Europe, West Asia, and North Africa, and reject Abrahamic religious hegemony. There is a huge number of traditions and ways people practice Neo-Paganism. Wicca, Druidry, Heathenry, Witchcraft, Rodonovery, Hellenismos, and many more make up the colorful Neo-Pagan tapestry. Neo-Paganism tends to be focused on European and Mediterranean traditions, not to exclude Afro-Caribbean and Indigenous beliefs, but to respect those traditions and peoples by recognizing their distinctness and identities. There is no one way to be a Pagan. To learn more about Paganism, come join us or check out our local partner Happy Valley Golden Wheel, the local Neo-Pagan community.
