The Druid Order of Tamaris was founded by Akasa and Andraste in November 2006. Although both had been part of various pagan groups in Plymouth, it was felt that there was something lacking in the way of local Druid groups. In November 2006 they set up their forum, and then had their official inauguration ceremony at Imbolc in 2007, up at the Merrivale Stone Circle on Dartmoor.
In the last year the group has gone form strength to strength, meeting many new people across the country and forging links with other pagan groups. Although the group is a druid order, many members are also practising witches, or have an eclectic path. In March 2008 Andraste resigned from her position in DOT to concentrate on legal protests with The Loyal Arthurian Warband and her LAW grove The Sacred Grove South West.
DOT is a living, breathing community for pagans in Devon and Cornwall who wish to walk the pagan path in the company of like-minded local people. We get together for regular moots, day trips, rituals to celebrate the wheel of the year and workshops of various natures.
