]> http://www.redmaplegrove.org/taxonomy/term/2/0 One significant portion of ADF rituals is divination. Omens are taken at a key point in each ritual. Red Maple Grove receives omens in both Nordic (runes) and Celtic (ogham) styles. Michael Demers, our first Senior Druid performed the divination at our first official ritual Midsummer 1999 held at the Tree Ring. <br /><br /> Red Maple Grove has been favoured with some keen students of divination, including Michael Demers, Heather Chapelle, Farrell McGovern, and Michael McKenny. Heather has written an outstanding work on ogham. Michael McKenny's material on divination can be found at the <a href="http://www.geocities.com/solarguard/pagan/divination/index.html">Solarguard</a> web site. en http://www.redmaplegrove.org/node/91 <p>Omen for Midsuumer 2006 ritual</p> Omens Wed, 05 Sep 2007 18:21:42 -0700 http://www.redmaplegrove.org/Lughnasad2007 <p>Here's the omen:</p> <p>Past: The aspect of the past our deities are drawing to our attention<br /> as having such an impact on us today is our success, victory and<br /> triumph, things we've done well and things that have gone well for us.</p> <p>Present: What we are living through, what is so greatly impacting upon<br /> us at this instant is the connection between this mundane reality and<br /> the Otherworld, our link to the realm of the spirit, our attunement to<br /> the inner reality.</p> <p>Future: What is arriving of greatest significance for us is the<br /> necessity to tidy up, cleanse, purify, sweep away the unnecessary or</p> Omens Sat, 01 Sep 2007 20:09:39 -0700 http://www.redmaplegrove.org/node/88 <p>Here's the omen:</p> <p>Past: The aspect of the past our deities are drawing to our attention<br /> as having such an impact on us today is our success, victory and<br /> triumph, things we've done well and things that have gone well for us.</p> <p>Present: What we are living through, what is so greatly impacting upon<br /> us at this instant is the connection between this mundane reality and<br /> the Otherworld, our link to the realm of the spirit, our attunement to<br /> the inner reality.</p> <p>Future: What is arriving of greatest significance for us is the<br /> necessity to tidy up, cleanse, purify, sweep away the unnecessary or</p> Omens Sat, 01 Sep 2007 19:58:28 -0700 http://www.redmaplegrove.org/samhainomen2005 <p>Past: Fern.
