Why I'm involved in ADFPersonally I think ADF is probably on the best track. We're not talking about fluffy bunny Paganism, we&'re looking at research, and being pan-Indo-European allows us to cross-reference and fill in the holes. It's also probably the best platform I've seen for my tribal approach to Paganism. What I do in ADFWell, I was Senior Druid of World Tree Grove for over five years, I'm on the Council of Honor for the Warriors' Guild, and I'm part of the Council of Senior Druids. I'm also involved the Magicians Guild, I was one of the founding people of the Warriors' Guild, which I've been working on for a long time, and I was the last Chief of the Council of Senior Druids. My personal vision for ADF's futureWell, I'm hoping that ADF will become a subculture, a Pagan subculture within the United States. We&'re not just a religion, we're an entire way of life, so I'd like to see us basically provide all the services that our members need, from education to legal and health care—everything. I believe each grove is probably a separate tribe within the nation of ADF. I think many other Pagan religions tend to be too busy being secretive half the time to be a tribe; they're more like little secret societies. They're trying to hide from the culture of the United States rather than being part of it, while ADF is trying to be an active Pagan part of United States culture instead.
