This is an open grove for those with a serious interest in purusing a Druid path or learning about Druidism in the San Diego area. As an open grove, all paths of Druidism and study are welcome. The physical grove, Coast Oak Grove, is under the guidance of Ár nDraíocht Féin (ADF) - Our Own Druidism. We also support and are partners with The Order of Bards Ovates and Druids (OBOD) Grove of the Torrey Pine, with members of both orders in both groves.

Druidism is a spiritual lifestyle that should implement the 9 virtues into our daily lives (wisdom, piety, vision, courage, integrity, perseverence, hospitality, moderation, fertility). We hope you will find here kinship and fellowship.

ADF Druidism encourages the study of pagan paths from the Indo-European cultures which include the Celtic, Saxons, Norse(Asatru), Teutonic, Vedic, Hellenic and Mesopotamian pre-Christian spiritualism, while OBOD encourages the experience of the Kindred through our Ancestors, Nature attunement and relationship with the Gods. The term Druid is derived from the ancient word for "knowing one" and is being applied today to the "knowers" of these faiths as well.

The Coast Oak Grove maintains an ecclectic European Pantheon. Coast Oak Grove is not a reconstructionist order. With the experiencial revelations as encouraged through our OBOD studies and the studies of history and scholarly materials encouraged by ADF, our Grove of San Diego Druids walks on a path of learning of spiritual ideals that are practical with the Kindred for our lives today in San Diego.

Blessings,
