A Members Gathering is also available to share experiences and offer support.
Polytheist Druidry by Robin Herne : A basic introduction to the way in which a modern polytheist group connects with the Gods, land and spirits in a manner that draws inspiration from the ways in which the old tribes connected with those same Gods, land and spirits.
Shaping The Wheel by Athelia Nihtscada : Part 1 of a two-part course that presentsvarious topics for meditation and practice on one’s own, usingmythological tales, cultural lore and law as a base. The course isself-directed, arranged by season and will take approximately one year to complete if the lessons are worked on and completed approximatelyevery two weeks.
