At least one branch of neo-druidism began at [Clarendon College]?, in response to a requirement that all students participate in a religion. It was originally not intended very seriously, and nearly died out after the requirement was removed. [Robert Larson]? was ordained during that period, and later carried the history to Berkeley California, where he encountered Isaac Bonewits. Together they founded a small congregation with affinities to various Wicca groups and to various practitioners of ceremonial magic (or Magick if they were Crowleans). Since then it has had several periods of greater or lesser activity. Currently the most visible group is "A Druid Fellowship" (the actual name is Gaelic). They are centered on the East Cost in New York and New Jersey, but with branches scattered throughout the country. |
