Reformed Druids of North America

The RDNA began in 1963 at Carleton College in Minnesota as a protest against forced attendance of religious services. They made up their own religion to mock the requirement, and found them interesting enough to continue after the rule was withdrawn. Although many members prefer Celtic orientation, each Grove tends to choose an ethnic affiliation, or remain plain eclectic. There are about 40 groves and 4000 likely members (only 450 active in groves), half of them from Carleton, and membership is extremely loose. There are no fees, and few services offered besides free literature, on-line conference, 8/year magazine & networking assistance. The RDNA is primarily known for its sense of humor, undogmatic prolific writings (3 volumes - 2600 pages so far) and for founding a dozen biggest spin-off organizations of the modern Druid movements in America, including ADF, Henge of Keltria and Reformed Druidic Wicca.
