About Us
FoDLA
is a fellowship of American polytheistic Pagans following the path of Draíocht
Nua or Neo-Druidism.
The fellowship is organized as a church, after the Internal Revenue
Code's use of the word, and is not dogmatic, but limits its membership
to American polytheist Neopagans who seek to follow the central
spiritual values of traditional pre-Christian Celtic societies, best
exemplified by the figure of the ancient Druid. These
include, most particularly:
- A
commitment to study: To honor the past and the path that has shaped us
- A
commitment to piety: To honor the gods and
spirits that guide us
- A
commitment to hospitality: To honor the community and the Land it shares
Within this simple
framework of shared values, FoDLA does not engage in passing judgment
on matters of metaphysics. How each member of the fellowship
conceives of the deities, the Otherworlds, and indeed the ultimate
nature of the Cosmos, is a matter for the individual
alone--guided by the commitment to study--and FoDLA advocates for
tolerance of diverse beliefs within a bond of shared values
and a set of basic worship practices.
If you can wholeheartedly affirm the principles
above--including a genuine commitment to an atmosphere of tolerance of
diversity of belief within shared core values--and the Founding Vision
statement in which they are found, then membership
in FoDLA may be for you.
