Chaos & Cosmos – Bringing Them Together
ADF has developed a very distinct and coherent way of looking at the cosmos
and how it relates to our reaching the Gods, Spirits of Nature and our Ancestors
in ritual. Based on the beliefs of ancient Indo-European Pagan peoples, this
cosmology embraces tripartition and such concepts as the Sacred Center, World
Tree, Three Worlds, Three Realms, Fire in Water, etc. This workshop will examine
this cosmological system, its origins, and its use in ADF Ritual.
