HIGH DAY RITUALS
Our Rituals and Ceremonies are based generally on the ADF standardized format by our Liturgist and modified per information from the ADF-Liturgist email lists, general Grove discussion, and final Grove acceptance. We usually start with the basic Ritual and then write in our own Invocations as necessary. Lately some of us have begun to sing our Invocations, trusting that we will be favored by the powers of Inspiration. As we want to have a learning Grove, our Grove members perform and learn in the five basic required positions, Druid 1 (Orator), Druid 2 (Offeror), Bard (Music and chant), Seer (Divination) and Warrior (Grove Protector and Sacred Fire tender). For larger groups, we also have another Orator, Druid 3, as well as a Sanctifier who censes the altar icons. We also provide passouts of the specific ritual contents to all those attending to assist in their participation.
Below are the High Day Rituals we've been doing over the past year. Please note that they are written specifically for large groups, with up to seven celebrants. They are also in Rich Text Format (.rtf).
