About Our Fellowship

Our tradition is based on the multicultural Celto-Roman Animistic Polytheistic religion, which was practiced throughout Celto-Roman Europe and Britain, Worshiping both native Celtic Deities as well as Deities the Romans brought with them , not as a reconstructionists , but as what might have been if the Celto-Roman culture would have thrived and continued into the modern day. Other Religious associations: We are also currently chartered by the Universal Life Church of Modesto. We at other times have been associated with Keltra and ADF, but hold no charters under them.
