We are the GROVE of the OAKEN STAVES.
Our format is for Celtic Druidic learning and revering our Mother Earth or Gaia. Studies are related but not limited to; Herbology, Conservation, Crystals (lapadary), Runes, Divination, Tarot, Middle Welsh, the Ogham staves including the Ogham alphabet, woodworking and ancient Celtic Mythology. Native American Indian shamanism is also welcome along with drums and flute music.

We are linked to the ADF, AODA, RDNA, Mithril Star, Henge of Keltria, The Druid Network and other Druid groups. Ritual study will be Druidic in nature with the Wheel of the Year respected. There are degrees related to knowledge base (as w/i various druid groups), and serious studies- along with Grove Elders to assist. This is where we invite you to investigate thru self, group study and gatherings; what the Druidry path is, and is not. Self-study of other traditions is also encourged.

Please note: We are a small local group serving Clay County, Fl. To ensure a safe environment for our members, membership is "invitation by owner(s) and/or elder approval only". Outworlders are welcome to rituals only by invitation. To be considered for membership, drop a email to...Groveofthe_OakenStaves-owner@yahoogroups.com

We strongly encourage participation in studies, workshops, group and solitary rituals. Our goal is to enjoy fellowship with those who are of a "nature family" building new friendships & to broaden our knowledge and spirital base.
