The "Gaelic Druid Order" is focused along traditional lines by founders and Joint-Chiefs Ruiseart and Ceit Alcorn and currently has two groves. The Mother Grove ("Sgiath an Fhithich") is based in the little village of Newtonmore, situated in the Cairngorm National Park in the heart of the Scottish Highlands and our Daughter Grove ("The Ashby Grove") is in Western Australia.
Our aim is to help develop the spiritual potential of the individual whilst working with the energies of Nature, via the traditional groves of Bard (poet, story-teller), Ovate (seer, prophet) and Druid (philosopher, priest, magician).
Also, it is our belief that a connection to one's ancestry is very important and for this reason the study of the Gaelic language and culture forms an integral part of Bardic studies. This connection is not to be confused with living in the past; the intention is to provide a foundation for the future, both individually and as a group. People of all backgrounds are welcome. Those of Gaelic descent can find a connection to their heritage, whilst "non" Gaels can use the Order as a platform from which they can discover their own roots.
