Start a Triad

Start a Triad

Triads are essentially groups of at least three members who wish to study the Druid path under the auspices of OSC.  While a Triad is technically three people (hence the name), we will admit Triads of up to six members as a minimum of seven members is required to open a full Grove.  Triad members are welcome to participate in general events of the Order and to undertake any self-study programs we may offer.  Triads are basically small study groups who can also host their own rituals and social events.

To charter a Triad, you must:

  1. Submit an OSC Charter Application to the OSC High Council (select Triad for “type of group”).
  2. Submit a membership application for each Triad member. This includes signing the Oath and submitting a personalized statement of intent to join OSC.
  3. Pay any required charter dues to the OSC High Council.
  4. Each Triad member should undergo the Self-Initiation Meditations within the OSC Guide, or the Triad might create its own group initiation and ritual.
  5. A new Triad should create and perform a ritual or ceremony to inaugurate the new Triad. This can be as simple as creating sacred space and having each member share their intent related to the formation of the Triad.
  6. Triad members are expected to undertake the first three degrees (Ovate level) of the self-study program as those provide foundational reference to the Order of the Stone Circle, general Druid concepts, and to revivalist Druidry. There is no requirement for solitary members to progress beyond the Ovate level, though we hope you will do so.
