Dogwood ProtoGrove, RDNA Shenandoah Valley, Virginia |

The name, Dogwood, comes from the name of a tool. Its earliest known use was a dag or dagge (from the Celtic/Old Gaelic, daga, a pointed tool). Daggewood could be fashioned into any of various pointed tools from leather punches to meat skewers.

Dogwood ProtoGrove is a newly formed grove of the Reformed Druids of North America. It is currently comprised of two Second Order RDNA druids and one First Order RDNA druid as well as other non-ordered members. As an RDNA ProtoGrove, we agree and confirm the two tenets: 1) The object of the search for religious truth, which is a universal and a never-ending search, may be found through the Earth-Mother; which is Nature; but this is one way, yea, one way among many.
2) And great is the importance, which is of a spiritual importance, of Nature, which is the Earth-Mother; for it is one of the objects of Creation, and with it do people live, yea, even as they do struggle through life are they come face-to-face with it.
A Reformed Druid Anthology (ARDA) and the Druid Chronicles are the RDNA works our group uses along with other writers and sources.
