Who started ADF?

ADF was founded by Isaac Bonewits and a group of other NeoPagans in New York city who were interested in researching and reviving the ways of worship of the early Indo-European people.

Isaac had been associated with several other religious organizations and wanted to develop an organization that better fit his vision for the future. His vision was that one day Neo-Pagan Druidism would be as readily accepted as any other mainstream religion. He believed, and still does believe, that there should be a local grove in every city.

Isaac is the author of Real Magic (a classic work on the laws of magic) and Advanced Thaumaturgy (an adaptation of the laws of magic for role-playing games) as well as several other books on Neo-Pagan topics. He is also a very talented Bard and inveterate, unrepentive punster!
