Welcome
Welcome to the online home of the Tribe of the Oak Druid Order, founded on Samhain, 2014. The Tribe of Oak Order is a Celtic Reconstructionist Druid order that seeks to preserve and pass on the traditional ways of the ancient Celts
This group is by application only, please request to join us only if you are seriously seeking to be a member and are prepared to study towards Druidic initiation.
​
We are an on-line study group with members across the globe.
We publish seasonal rites on Facebook and Youtube.
We also meet in person for Grove meetings and seasonal rites, mostly in Western Massachusetts. The current Archdruid for the Order is Jazz Smudgeson. Our Archdruid Emerita is Ellen Evert Hopman, author and Druid Priestess for many years.
We are the “People of the Oak”. Oak trees are sacred to all cultures across the European continent and sacred to all cultures that these magnificent trees dwell in.
​
We have gathered together here to help connect our thoughts and our ideas on what the ancestors may have believed and how they may have worshiped. We discuss the books we are reading and share resources, rites, and the ideas and inspirations of our collective Grove energy.
​
We are a Celtic Reconstructionist Druid Order which means we base our study and practice on ancient Celtic traditions and readings. The myths & folklore, traditions & customs and reason to discern the principles of ancient Celtic religion and apply those principles in a modern context. We are primarily focused on the Goidelic Tradition (traditions of Ireland, Scotland & Isle of Man). Although we acknowledge, respect and support the Insular (British), Brythonic (Welsh, Cornwall & Cumbria) and Continental Traditions.
