Types of Druidry
The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids
An order of Druidry which split off from the Ancient Order of Druids in 1964 (the Ancient Order, which was established in 1717, is much more like a masonic lodge than a religion). Like many other Druid groups they are very relaxed about teachings -- although they appear to be one of the more traditional of the groups.
Reformed Druids of North America
A group originally part of Druids of North America (DNA). The group was formed by a bunch of college students who were required by their college to practice a religion regularly -- they decided to become druids and worship trees. RDNA is very loosely organized: they have no traditional ritual style or worship philosophy. The group is based on the concept of doing what you want to do with druidism. Called "Zen Anarchists"
Arn Draiocht Fein
The ADF (as it is commonly called) was started by PEI Bonewits in 1983 as a breakaway from the Reformed Druids of North America (RDNA). This group emphasizes the public-ness of all rituals. Rituals are not usually centered around magical workings, rather, they focus on the gods and ancestors. Eight gatherings are held a year, following the common Wheel of the Year many pagans follow. At each ritual the ancestors are called, which is a contrast from Wicca, where the ancestors are usually only called at Samhain.
Henge of Keltria
The Keltrian form of Druidry is a splinter group from ADF. Their rituals are much more Celtic than either of the former groups (which tend to include any pantheon brought by participants). They also celebrate two moon rites (Mistletoe Rite and Vervain Rite) in addition to the eight pagan holidays.
