Who We Are
Hallowed Oaks Grove has been a very active grove in Northern Alabama for over five years now. We practice Neo-Pagan Druidry and have services open to anyone interested. In addition to this, we also provide open and public rituals on the eight Neo-Pagan High Days as a service to the greater pagan community. For those solitary (and non-solitary) practitioners in the area we provide a place to come together with fellow pagans. We are located in Huntsville, AL, but serve many other surrounding areas such as Madison, Decatur, Scottsboro, Guntersville, Birmingham, Southern Tennessee, and parts of Mississippi and Georgia.
What is Neo-Pagan Druidry?
Neopagan Druidry is a group of religions, philosophies and ways of life, rooted in ancient soil yet reaching for the stars. We are part of the larger Neopagan movement; one of the worlds most vital and creative new religious awakenings. Like much of that movement we are polytheistic, and Pantheistic nature worshippers, working with the best aspects of the Pagan religions of our predecessors within a modern scientific, artistic, ecological and holistic context using a non-dogmatic and pluralistic approach.
We call ourselves Druids, and we look to the ancient Druids - the priests, priestesses, wise ones and magicians of the ancient Celts -for much of our inspiration. Like them, we're people who value excellence - physically, intellectually, artistically and spiritually.
Although our name implies an inclination toward things Celtic, we seek to understand all of the currents within the Indo-European spectrum of religions. In addition to those who follow Celtic ways we welcome Norse, Hellenic, Baltic, Slavic and Latin Neopagans, and encourage each to take up the worship and magic of the old ways.
We meet weekly for class and discussion, and gather on the High Days to honor our Ancestors, Deity, and the Spirits of the Land.
Our rituals and discussions are open to all with an open mind and an open heart. We are a very diverse group of people of different races, genders, and sexual preferences. Discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated.
