Group Overview: Group Overview: The Sonoran Sunrise Grove is the local Tucson affiliate of Ar n'Draiocht Fein - A Druid Fellowship Our Grove's orientation is Pan-Indo European, meaning we embrace the Gods and beliefs of all the Indo European peoples (e.g. Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Gaul, Greek, Roman, Norse, Saxon, Vedic etc.) .
We are polytheists, which means that we worship many Gods and Goddesses, who are not merely parts of some greater whole, but rather complete entities in themselves. We also worship the Nature Spirits of fur and feather, leaf and stone who inhabit the world as well as our Ancestors, be they our own forebearers, family of heart or the ancient peoples of this land.
All ADF Groves are open, public places of worship where the Gods, Nature Spirits and Ancestors are honored on a reqular basis. To this end, we hold public High Day rituals on all eight of the Neopagan holidays and weekly rituals and classes on Saturday mornings. Weekly Rituals are held at 8am with a potluck to follow. Religious group worship is also a social gathering for us and all are welcome.
Our Druidry is an orthopraxic religion (where right action is emphasized) rather than an orthodoxic religion (where right belief is emphasized) . This is probably one of the Main differences between ADF Druidry and other religions. We commit ourselves to live by nine virtues: wisdom, piety, vision, courage, integrity, hospitality, moderation, fertility, and perseverance.
We also see our priests as Sacrificial Clergy rather than Sacramental Clergy. Our priests (male and female) are ritual specialists, acting as the face of the people, leading them in ritual and making the proper sacrifices, or offerings, to the Powers.
We also perform community service. Our primary project is clean up for the Rillito River Walk between La Cańada and La Cholla. As such, we have become designated caretakers of the Tucson Sun Circle there.
