Assemblée Druidique du Chêne et du Sanglier

Assemblée Druidique du Chêne et du Sanglier

Our Federation of Glades and Groves was born on Samonios 2007 and it is made up of some glades and groves having common principles and values.

Each of them works autonomously and they gather around what binds them that is

- Respect of our ancestors and a practice adapted from the ancient druidic spirituality which is rooted in the ancient sources respecting the spirit of our time. It is a double movement between Tradition and Inspiration.

- Respect of the Earth and Nature.

- Celtic polythéism lived as a natural religion that is to say which has its symbols at the core of Life, in traditions born in customs and the folklore of our countries. A natural religion because it is as well immediately available to any of us. Finally, it is a natural religion because it links its rites and celebrations to the important rhythms of nature.

Our glades ( led by Macfuirmids ) and our groves ( led by Druids ) are the core of our Assembly. All of them are equal on dignity and claim their differences respecting the link which binds them. They work on synergy in order to reach their spiritual and ethical purposes. They have the same base and the same structure of teaching in common.

This graduate teaching is done by regularly introduced Druids, Bards and Ovates.

The operating weaving is made of tradition and inspiration. Both are making up the framework and the chain uniting the threads of the 4 directions. We celebrate 8 festivals in the year and the glades and groves occasionally meet for common celebrations and workshops .

The teaching is both done through a presence in the glades with the MacFuirmids and through the contact with tutors at different levels and also thanks to written material such as notebooks which are used as a base of work for the different levels.

The notebooks aren’t an unveiled « truth » by themselves but a guideline, a furrow, a track let by those who were on the path before us. They are bound to evolve and be enriched by experiences run by the Druids, the Bards and the Ovate from the glades and the groves.

The mabinog notebooks allow to get a general understanding of Druidry, practice seasonal rituals in a group or by oneself and to get to know the symbols linked to our Tradition. 

The Assembly also offers a free newsletter, la Rouelle, 4 times a year. You can download it from our website.
