Leader Bio: Rev. Carrion Mann
I have "officially" practiced a Pagan spiritual path for approximately twelve years, however, my values and beliefs were Pagan long before this time. I just didn't know what to call them. Not unlike others that practice Druidry, I wandered through various spiritual paths before finding the path that was right for me. I have always had a need for spirituality in my life and my quest to find what I was looking for has led me down many paths. Until now these paths have always ended in frustration; as I found myself trying to force my values and beliefs to fit existing structures of various religious institutions. Over the years I have made many valiant attempts to force myself to "fit" into some form of organized religion and had all but given up finding a path that was right for me. It wasn't until the early 90's that I was first introduced to Wicca. It was this introduction to Paganism that would eventually lead me to ADF Druidry. Prior to joining ADF in January of 2000, I practiced Wicca and then Druidry with my husband as a solitary. As a solitary, my interest included both: the Irish Celtic and Norse Kin, divination, liturgical design and bardic work. In February 2003 my search for other like-minded individuals led to my decision to join Whispering Lake Proto-Grove. I have been an active member of Whispering Lake Grove since that time and currently hold the offices of Treasurer and Chief Liturgist. In August of 2008 I completed the 1st circle of the ADF Clergy Training Program and was consecrated as an ADF Priest during the 2008 Summerland Festival in Ohio. Currently, I continue my work on the 2nd circle of the CTP and plan to continue my studies to one day become a fully ordained ADF Priest. Additionally, I also hold the office Liturgist Guild Chief.
