About our Rituals...
While there is no strict format of a FoDLA ritual, they do tend to have many of the same elements time after time.
For the 1/4 Moon rituals, the focus of the rituals is on personal and group offerings. These once a lunar month rituals are meant to fill in the time between the 8 more commonly celebrated Druid rituals. We have some records that the Paleo-Druids of Ancient Ireland did actually gather on the 6th Night after the new moon, which roughly equates to the 1/4 moon.
When you look up and see a 1/4 moon, you are looking at what appears to be a moon that is half full. I use the 1/4 moon as a visible metaphor for seeking balance between the light and dark in our lives.
In these rituals, we typically make offerings to the Ancestors, Nature Spirits, and the Shining Ones, our preferred term for the greater numinous entities most people think of with polytheistic pantheons.
Within the FoDLA tradition of Druidism, we try not to explicitly define the Gods or Shining Ones using any specific language. We prefer to let each person develop relationships with the Shining Ones on their own terms.
