Welcome to Muin Mound Grove, ADF, (Ár nDraíocht Féin, Irish Gaelic for "Our Own Druidry"), a place to grow and learn, serving the pagan community of greater Central New York. We walk in the ways of the ancients, following the older Gods and Goddesses, as we worship by the wheel of the year.

Though primarily Celtic in our ongoing focus and membership, we offer rites to a variety of pagan pantheons. We serve our greater local community by holding public worship on the eight High Days of the pagan calendar. We also offer activities through our children's program and our budding study group.

This is a place to become close to the Gods and Goddesses, the land, the spirits of old, and to meet and grow with people of like-minded beliefs. We welcome you and invite you to join with us.

 

Please join us for our celebration of Beltaine!

(Saturday, May 5, 2012)

Workshop at 3:00 pm

The Beltaine workshop will be divided into two segments.  For the first half, those who wish to build the Maypole may accompany Skip into the forest.  Those who wish to help create a floral wreath for the main offering may stay behind.  The second half of the workshop will comprise of dancing the Maypole.  This traditional dance is believed to direct fertile energies into the land.   It’s also a fun way to celebrate the warm weather! For lunch, visitors are asked to bring an ingredient for tacos since our Beltaine celebration also falls on Cinco de Mayo!

Business Meeting at 5:00 pm

Main Ritual at 8:00 pm

Our Senior Druid will lead a rite to honor Bel (a solar deity) and Blodeuwedd (a Goddess made of flowers).
The main offering will be a wreath of wildflowers and boughs from the old Yule tree.  The circular wreath will represent the solar wheel.  The vegetation will represent the continuation of life through the seasonal changes. Join us as we celebrate the coming of summer!

A potluck dinner will follow the main worship service.
Please bring a dish to pass and canned food for our food drive. Remember our other collection - cat food and cat litter!
