Welcome to the web site of Red Maple Grove, a community of ADF druids dwelling in the area of Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec. Red Maple Grove has been offering open, public rituals to the Pagan community since Midsummer 1999. As a member grove of Ár nDraoícht Féin, North America’s largest Druid organization, we are committed to presenting Indo-European traditional spirituality to those living in the 21st Century. Our main traditions are Celtic and Norse, and those of other traditions are welcome to join us. Recently, we have also held some rituals in Slavic style. We have a goal of providing open rituals, etc. to the Pagan community of Canada’s National Capital area. Next High Holy Day ritual will be Bealtine, sometime around May 1, 2025. We try to hold more than one ritual from say April 23, 2025 until May 8, 2025. This is to make it easier for more people with varying work, etc. schedules to attend. You are welcome to suggest when and where would better match your availability. Deities willing, we will be holding a Bealtine ritual on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 at 2 pm at the Gazebo at MacDonald Gardens Park. Please, if you send a request to join our Facebook group, let us know you’re for real. Send me a message introducing yourself, saying that you really are interested in druid/pagan matters and are sending a request to join the Red Maple Grove Facebook group. Red Maple Grove also is on Discord, under that same name Red Maple Grove. Thanks.

We have also been holding in person informal druid conversations. We invite people interested to let us know when and where best works for them.

We have done various activities to benefit the wider community, have conducted public discussions on druid and pagan themes, and have run classes teaching the ADF Dedicant’s Program (introductory druid study).

We have four Facebook pages in English: our main Red Maple Grove one, one specifically for our members, one for text conversations and one for discussing health and healing. We also have our French language Facebook page, Bosquet des Erables Rouges. And we have a Discord server. If you’re interested, you are very welcome to come and check us out.

Our bylaws are here.
