Links to orders historically associated with the AODA
During the middle years of the twentieth century, when alternative spiritual groups were few and far between in America, the AODA shared members and some practices (such as the Sphere of Protection ritual) with several other organizations. Many senior AODA members remain active in these organizations as well, and Druids and others interested in a wider range of spiritual paths may find them of interest.
The Magickal Order of the Golden Dawn The Magickal Order of the Golden Dawn is an outgrowth of the Ashley variation of Waite's Holy Order of the Golden Dawn. Their teachings are very similar to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn except initiates are encouraged to use the Gods and Goddesses of their choice.
The Order of Modern Essenes A healing order teaching a distinctive and effective system of spiritual healing.
