The links below will take you to the texts of rituals (or parts of rituals) and prayers actually performed by ADF solitaries and Groves in 2008. All rituals not specifically listed as Solitary Rites are for group work. Following the ritual, in parentheses, is the hearth culture of the rite (where applicable). The devotionals, meditations and invocations may be used for both group and solitary practice.
Please note that High Day ritual dates are tied into the calendar in the Northern Hemisphere. For folks in the Southern Hemisphere, dates such as the Cross Quarter – August should be read as the one at the end of summer, i.e. Cross Quarter – February instead.
