Looking forward to hearing from you, Dean. Our Seedgroup is anxious to expand our presence, both in the sacred (through ceremony and ritual) and the social through volunteer and outreach. In the UK, they often say that 'Druidry is the spiritual ar...
We are also inviting people interested in the bardic arts, in Welsh or other Celtic cultures and languages, to become associate members. As such, they have introduced themselves and at times may choose to join in the continuing dialogue or help wi...
Right, I remember you from NOrthwest Druidry, which is limited to providing a common calendar. The Gorsedd does the actual work, and I believe is a natural social/civic complement to the sacred side we have in OBOD, where I am with the Willamette ...
Hi, Dean - West here from Puget Sound region. I'm a member of Circle of Coll - an OBOD Seedgroup serving Puget Sound. I'm interested in helping out as a Bard. Please feel free to contact me.
If you want to help with the civic ceremonies at the 2010 Left Coast Eisteddfod, this is the place to volunteer. Our goal is not merely to bring Civic Druidry to our Region, but to build a presence for the bardic arts and establish a bardic chair ...
I have posted notices regarding our new gorsedd to bards in the Society for Creative Anachronism. From past experience, there are many talented bards among them in the western areas of Canada and the U.S. And, they do the work of Civic Druidry as ...
As a social network of ovates, bards, druids, and associate members, we assist with and provide bardic services and civic-ceremonial support for Welsh and other Celtic groups and festivals in the western region of Canada and the United States.
The North America Gorsedd Association will encompass six regions in North America and the Caribbean. Member Druids, Bards, and Ovates serve in civic rituals and ceremonies at various Celtic events and festivals.
This is a forum in which to discuss the practicality and desirability of an Independent Wales. Please be respectful of other peoples opinions. Strictly Marquis of Queensbury rules! NO FLAMING!

- My Welsh ancestry goes back to Thomas Edwards, who emmigrated from Wales early in the 18th century to Virginia. From then it's Thomas, Jr., John, Morris, Reuben Hardy, Joseph Jackson, Joseph W Edwards (my grandfather).
My interests are in learning the language and in contemporary Druidry and the bardic arts. I am currently an OBOD bard, living in Woodburn, Oregon, with my wife Lynn.

- What is your interest in or connection to Wales?
- My interests in Wales are genealogical (wish me luck on this one!), history, the Mabinogion, Arthurian and Grail legends, and in establishing a bardic chair for the West Coast of North America and perhaps a regional one for the Pacific Northwest. I am also a big Ar Log fan and am learning to discover the new groups and music of Wales as well.

- Hello Dean,
Nice to have a new friend! And so nearby too...I'm not familiar with where Woodburn is, but if it's near Portland it must be beautiful! I live in the high desert so rain and the color green are not things I see alot.
Thanks for the greeting and take care!

- Thomas Edwards settled in
VA as a yound man/indentured servant, worked off his debt, and married. He lived in VA the rest of his life. I do not know where he came from in Wales. However, I have had a dna test, so who knows, eh?

Ceri Shaw said… - Hi Dean... Portland Oregon here. Originally from Cardiff. Croeso i Americymru. Gaabriel and I created this site less than a year ago as a Social and friendship site for the Welsh, Welsh ex-pats, persons of Welsh descent and Cymruphiles around the world. It has grown considerably since its foundation and we would like to extend a warm welcome to you....our latest member. Feel free to invite any friends that you think would be interested in joining. The network has many features which allow people with a shared love of Wales to communicate and share photos, videos, links, blogposts etc and we will be adding new features from time to time. Make yourself right at home. Once again...
Croeso!
