About Us

Three Branch River Grove, ADF of Hampton Roads, VA was established to provide community, education and support to those seeking to follow a neo-pagan pan-Indo-European druid’s path in the Southeastern Virginia area through public rituals, study groups, writings, and community projects, and to actively present a positive face to the public for ADF, as well as earth-centric and Indo-European polytheist religions in general.

Founded in 1984, Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship, Inc. (ADF) is a federally recognized church. (For more information, go to www.adf.org) Ár nDraíocht Féin (Arn-REEOCHT-Fane) means Our Own Druidry in Irish Gaelic.

Our Grove high day and druid moon rituals are family-friendly and open to the public.

One need not give up prior practices or affiliations to become a member of ADF or of our Grove. Our Grove hearths are what we sometimes refer to as post-Viking North Atlantic Islands (often called the British Isles). Some rituals are Irish, and some are Gaulish, Norse, Germanic/Anglo-Saxon.

Druids of the past were the educated class of their time (doctors, lawyers, bards (reporters), artists, and priests). ADF continues that tradition with excellent study programs. Each member is encouraged to make ADF his or her own by following their own curiosity and inclination.

We look forward to hearing from you!
