Welcome
We are a Colorado Druid grove of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids. Our name is Dóiteán agus Uisce (pronounced Doe-chan Ah-gus Ish-ka), which we translate from Irish as the Flame and Well.
We strive to deepen our members’ experience of Druidry through eight ritual ceremonies around the year, and different forms of group practice. Most of our celebrations are open to visitors, while a few may be attended by members only. We also hold moots between each ceremony, and visitors are welcome to meet us at these also.
About
2022 | Many new people have found us over the past year and the grove is thriving with fresh energies. Some moots are still online but we also use them as an opportunity for special activities like hikes and wilderness rites. |
2021 | We returned to holding the eight ceremonies in person, committing to outdoor locations to minimize transmitting viruses |
2020 | In 2020, we “went inside” with everyone else, and held ceremonies and moots over Zoom. |
2018 | On the winter solstice of 2018, we announced our status as a full OBOD Grove, having achieved this milestone by demonstrating solid membership and activity since our founding. We currently have about 35 members. |
2015 | On the summer solstice of 2015, Dóiteán agus Uisce Druidic Circle branched off from the Treehenge Druidic Circle of Fort Collins, to serve members in the greater Denver area. |
