Each quarter, AODA offers one or more Zoom-based events. Some of these events are for our members and may be geared towards those in certain degrees (candidates, apprentices, GCC members) while others may be open to the broader druid community. Please check back on this page as we update it every quarter.

Ritual: Fall Equinox Telluric Waterway Blessing
Hosted by Heather Westenhofer, AODA Companion and GCC Priestess
Join us on the Fall Equinox to celebrate a Telluric Waterway Blessing via Zoom with the AODA community! Within the space of a Druid Grove and the Sphere of Protection, all participants will have the opportunity to imbue a stone with a modified SOP. These stones will be used after the ritual to bless a waterway local to each Druid.
To read the details of the ritual, visit the AODA website: https://aoda.org/earthrituals/waterwayblessing/
The AODA offers Rituals for the Earth at the Solstices and Equinoxes as an order-wide opportunity to provide physical and spiritual support for the land and all who live upon her and to our waterways that support all life.
Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2026
Time: 8pm EDT
What to bring: One or more small stones that can be taken with you to a local waterway.

Solar Currents: AODA Monthly Astrological Overview with Robert Pacitti
Come join us on the last Thursday of every month for a welcoming and enriching exploration of the cosmic weather ahead. Hosted by Robert Pacitti, professional astrologer and Grand Pendragon of the Ancient Order of Druids in America, these sessions will highlight the major astrological transits of the month, explore how they may influence our personal signs, and offer a touch of astrological and astronomical teachings to deepen understanding.
Solar Currents will also be a space for open conversation. Astrologers of all backgrounds and modalities are invited to share brief insights, making each session a tapestry of perspectives and wisdom. Whether you’re just beginning your astrological journey or have years of experience, you’ll find community, insight, and inspiration here.
While it would be helpful to have a copy of your astrological chart, or know your Sun, Moon, and Ascendant signs, no astrology experience is necessary to fully take part in these events. We will be holding true to our “no politics in public forums” policy for these sessions, and will be focusing on the personal and spiritual experience. While these sessions are hosted by the Ancient Order of Druids in America, all are welcome!

Introduction to AODA Magic and Ritual through the Seven Elements – November 2nd – 8:30 – 10pm
Dana O’Driscoll, Grand Archdruid and Ollave Adept
The Ancient Order of Druids in America has a unique system that spans cosmology, magic, and energy. This system is most obvious in our Sphere of Protection, which calls upon the seven elements and directions for protection and balance. But the SOP is only the beginning of what AODA’s unique energetic system offers in terms of ritual and magic. In this workshop, we will first explore the ancient origins of the seven element system and learn about about how different ways of mapping this system can allow us a flexible magical practice. In the second half of this workshop, Dana will demonstrate a few examples of this magical system in action and how you can use it for bardic, druid, and ovate magic.
