A Druid Pilgrimage to Carleton College

Published by Scott under Druidry,Memories and Moments

If you are part of the Reformed Druids of North America (RDNA), and/or any of its offshoots and related branches, you’re probably aware that “The Reform” started in a small college in Minnesota in the 60′s. Back in 1963, students at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota started the Reformed Druid movement as a protest against forced attendance at religious services by the college. What started as a simple protest grew many legs, and now there are thousands of Reformed Druids, Groves, Proto-groves, and related organizations.

The moral here – be careful when organizing a simple protest!

I traveled to Carleton College last week to do a solitary mini-pilgrimage to a few of the Druid sites where it all began. You can see photos on my Flickr site from my visit here. Incidentally, if you’ve followed my blog, you know that I used to live in Northfield, Minnesota for a time before I began this journey into Druidry.

There is a more formal Full Pilgrimage that was published in The Druid Inquirer recently. While I only did a portion of the pilgrimage, it’s worth the read as it gives some good background into the places I visited!

Many thanks goes out to all of the Carleton Druids for starting quite a movement!
