Be with us in this grove.

Author's Notes: Ar nDraiocht Fein grew up as a group-oriented organization, and its rites reflect that. In attempting to craft an ADF rite for myself as a solitary, I've had to be creative. One necessity was having easily memorizable elements of ritual, such as this invocation. A solitary has to memorize the entire ritual (rather than only his/her part) , so ease of memorization becomes important. Once one has internalized the basic elements, elaborations and customizations are possible.
As a Naturalistic Pagan, I believe in evidence. There is no evidence that deities and magic are "real" in the most literal sense, but they may yet be moving and powerful. These poems are a tribute to the inspiration of Pagan ways.
