Here are my updated notes compared to my previous post:
AODA, Ancient Order of Druids in America (http://www.aoda.org/)- I love it, what they stand for, and how they are "organized"
It's cheap, and they have a priesthood study "program" - it's interdisciplinary, and kinda tough, but don't require that you learn Gaelic or Ogham
no groves close by. Kinda small. really only for druids
OBOD, The Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids (druidry.org) - It's in England, it's HUGE, it's well-resourced, "organized" well and freely, expensive as fuck
been around 26 years, I think you need to learn Welsh :(
ADF, Ár nDraíocht Féin (adf.org) - annual fees (but affordable) when you want the newsletters and such
IT HAS GUILD-STUDY programs!!: http://www.adf.org/training/guild/ for more than just druids, bards, and seers
Has the toughest clergy (druid/archdruid) program in the world. :D You can choose Celtic, Hellenic, Norse, Roman.... it goes on
I think you need to learn Gaelic
Their American Grove in Baltimore, yay close, is freakishly pagan. I mean, their name is "CedarLight FELLOWSHIP which almost goes against the whole druid point. But they are big, have resources, and lots of events. Go here to see more: http://www.cedarlightgrove.org/
been around 40 years
I need to choose one as a course of study. I can join more than one, but I'm starting out and need to make baby steps.
