I first started with Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship in the year 2000. I had had some experience with Wicca and was practicing Celtic Shamanism, which was popular at the time. It was obvious that what I was doing was different then the people around me and I hit a point where I needed more of a focus then what I was doing. Druidry was something that was interesting me and when I went to college, I found a small grove starting in the area. A year later, I finished the Dedicant Program and became involved with campus groups, speaking at campus events and making friends among many people who were not part of the Abrahamic Traditions.
Unfortunately, I do not have my Dedicant Program work anymore. It has been several years (before they started to upload them online) and the papers have become lost. Same with Indo-European Studies 1… However, I am continuing my studies through the General Study Program, the Initiates Program and the Warriors Guild. Below are various papers I have done in relation to these programs. If I ever find the original Dedicant Program paperwork (or if I decide to go through the requirements again with where I am at now vs where I was then), I will post them below.
