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. We have also held some rituals in Slavic style. As we approach Midsummer 2026, we are coming to 3x3x3 years since our first ADF ritual at our Sacred Tree Ring. We hope to celebrate this special anniversary by enabling as many as possible who would like to come to one of our rituals to do so. We have arranged for 3 rituals so far: in the West, Dick Bell Park Saturday, June 20th at 3 pm, in Centretown, Monday, June 22nd at Noon, in the East, Saturday, June 27th at 3 pm at Big Bird Park in Orleans (Jeanne d’Arc and Mockingbird). Can’t come and want to? You are welcome to suggest other places and times resonating better with your availability for additional rituals. And you are welcome to join us in spirit, where and when you are able. 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.

By the way, if you are an ADF member living anywhere across Canada lacking an ADF grove, you might wish to consider starting one up. It only takes one person to plant that initial seed. Just ask ADF how to get that going. And, if you are not an ADF member, you’re welcome to check out ADF and see whether or not you resonate. Ditto wherever you live in the world actually. .

We have also been holding in person informal druid conversations. We invite people interested in our conversations, and study sessions in 2026 to suggest when and where best matches your availability.

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 for anyone interested in following us, 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 with the same name, Red Maple Grove. If you’re interested, you are very welcome to come and check us out. You are welcome to suggest other social media platforms you feel we should join.

Our bylaws are here.
