About Our Fellowship

Koad Grove is a Grove of the Reformed Druids of North America. We were formed as Koad Protogrove in 2008 and later became Koad Grove once Jean Pagano became an Archdruid. We honour the Earth Mother and Be’al and the changing of the seasons. While we recognize that the Season of Life and the Season of Sleep happen in our hemisphere, we also rejoice in the fact that in our global community, the Earth Mother is always alive and vibrant. We were fundamental in the RDNA/NRDNA Reunion rite at Pantheacon, and have welcomed interested individuals into the First Order on four continents, North and South America, Europe, and Australia. We look to the Book of the Law in ARDA for guidance and welcome all of good heart.
