Red Maple Grove, without fail, holds open rituals celebrating the eight standard Neo-Pagan High Holy Days: equinoxes, solstices, plus the four Celtic mid points, Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtine and Lughnasad. Our rituals are open (public). If you’re interested, you’re welcome. Feel free to let us know which times and locations would best enable you to attend future rituals. We are beginning to schedule our Samhain 2025 rituals. You are welcome to suggest where and when, from Oct 24th until Nov 7th, that resonates well with your availability. Red Maple Grove has a Norse/Celtic focus. So, usually our Cross-quarter high days are Norse, while our traditional Celtic mid points are Celtic. We have also held rituals in other cultural styles, including Slavic. Our most recent High Day ritual (Autumn Equinox on Monday, September 29, 2025) was in Slavic style. Coming up also on Tuesday, October 21st, is the New Moon, a time some people feel especially low on energy. We are holding a New Moon Healing Ritual then and you are welcome to join us in person at Dundonald Park (Somerset and Bay) at 3 pm and/or in spirit, where and when resonates with your availability, sending healing energy and prayers to those who would like to receive these.
As an ADF grove, we present ADF rituals, the more recent ones following ADF’s current Core Order of Ritual. We have been holding formal rituals since Midsummer 1999. We held an informal one on Bealtine 1999. A formal ADF ritual was conducted in Ottawa at the Spring Equinox in 1999 by Montreal’s Silver Fox Grove. Some of our previous rituals, going back several years, may be seen by clicking at the appropriate ritual link below. At each ritual we take an omen, as per standard ADF practice. Some omens may be seen by clicking at the appropriate omen link.
Thrice Three Blessings!
