The
Grove of
Kenelm
& Riognach's Final Handfasting
Yule2000
- Mount Donna Buang, Victoria.
Who are we?
Caer Brigid was founded by Ken and Riognach Howard at Imbolc (by Southern Hemisphere reckoning) 2000, as a learning group in the Bardic/Druidic tradition. We are based in Yarra Junction in Victoria, Australia, and currently have eight members. We are from diverse backgrounds and as such have an eclectic view on what constitutes 'Druidism'.
What do we do?
The purpose the Grove of Caer Brigid is to provide a meeting place for individuals interested in pursuing a Bardic/Druidic style of neo-paganism. This includes Learning, the pursuit of the Arts and Sciences, and ritual work on the eight major festival days of the year. We are also currently compiling an on-line library of important and rare documents related to Bardism and Druidism. The first of these will be, what we believe is, the only complete version of the Barddas to be made available on-line.

In addition to formal rituals, which are normaly restricted to members of the Grove, we have 'open-to-all' Festivities at Midsummer and Midwinter. These generaly attract around sixty people, pagan and non-pagan. For the last few years we have been putting on a traditional Mummer's play at these. This is an example: Midsummer Play
