Liturgists Guild Study Program

The study program of the Liturgists’ Guild has been designed to help the student learn the background and skills necessary in order to write, direct and perform effective rituals in an ADF context. Coursework, organized in three Circles, will include exposure to the basic skills of composition and poetics as well as a regular, systematic practice of personal and group ritual. The First Circle work covers ADF’s approach to Neo-Pagan Druidism, with emphasis on private ritual practice. The Second Circle will concentrate on group ritual and the Third Circle will cover special liturgies, such as Rites of Passage.
