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. Midsummer 2026 is 3x3x3 years since our first ADF ritual at our Sacred Tree Ring near Dows Lake in 1999. We would like our celebration of this special anniversary to include enabling as many as possible who would like to attend one of our Midsummer 2026 rituals to do so. We have already held two Midsummer 2026 rituals, one in the West and one in Centretown. We have two more scheduled, one in the East at Big Bird Park in Orleans (Jeanne D’Arc and Mockingbird) on Saturday, June 27th at 3 pm and one in Centretown on Monday, June 29th at 5 pm at Dundonald Park (Somerset and Percy, meeting at the tables near the play area). This later one will also include Full Moon Healing. These rituals will likely be in Norse style. If you would like to come, but this doesn’t match your availability, you are welcome to suggest where and when would be better for an additional ritual. And you are welcome to join us in spirit when and where you are able. 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. A relatively recent High Day ritual (Autumn Equinox on Monday, September 29, 2025) was in Slavic style.

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!
