Below is a list of the different groups one can join. They each have their own unique take on all things Gaulish, some focus on tribal recon, or that of a region, and others are more focused on Gaul as a whole. That being said a lot of folks in the Gaulish Contributors section have their own house customs which we call Tegobessus.
- Uarinâ (commons) meaning folks of different Toutâ, Trebâs, Cerdû, and Tegos getting together to share. We see this with The Council of All Gaul and the gathering of the Druides in the land of the Carnutes.
- Toutâ (nation, people, tribe) We have a few layers of custom. That which were the communal events that everyone was a part of, and the different Dêuoi associated with those. You might only participate in this a few times a year. But they cover the toutâ as a whole and its shared customs.
- Trebâs (settlements), these are what people think of when they talk about local customs. Only people in that trebâ’s vicinity practice them. There’d be at least a few, or many of these in one toutâ.
- The cerdû (guild) and tegos (house). These are specific either to groups by profession (smiths, warriors, farmers, etc.) or those specific to a family or household.
Like with the Senogalatis we to are many tribes and groups.
Bessus Nouiogalation (Tradition)
A Gaulish Tradition that is a functional hybrid of revival and reconstruction
From the darkness, a New Tribe emerges.
Within the mist, the Customs solidify and form.
Into the light, the Traditions shine forth for the Customs of the New Gauls. Bessus Nouiogalation (Custom of the New Galatîs) is an adbessus (tradition) that centers around creating a new bessus (custom) from pieces of history, lore, worldview, religion found from all over what was once Gaul.
It is a Galatibessus tradition and as such is specifically centered on Gaulish worldviews, cultures, religions, etc. As such it is neither a specific regional reconstruction. Nor is it “generalist”. It seeks to take these disparate pieces of historical Gaulish customs to create something new. Open to all who are sincerely interested regardless of color, class, sexual orientation, gender identity, heritage, or ability status. No Fascists allowed.
Senobessus Bolgon (Tradition)
Senobessus Bolgon is a Gaulish Polytheism tradition specifically a Belgic style tradition to bring like-minded practitioners together under the Senobessus Bolgon banner. Their aim is to establish a reconstructed, polytheistic religion based on the practices of the people living in Gallia Belgica between roughly the 3rd century BC and the Roman conquest of Gaul.
Bonâ Bannobrogi (Tradition)
Bonâ Bannobrogi (meaning “the village, or groundwork of the mountain district”) is a syncretic Gaulish custom with emphasis on the Pyrenees Mountains as a focal point and influence for reconstruction and interpretation of Gaulish-attested deities whose inscriptions are found along them today.
Drunemeton (Organization)
Drunemeton is slowly being formed it is not something one joins but rather it is for the most devoted to help build. Drunemeton is the name of the assembly of Bardos, Uatis, and Druides. So a Gaulish/Brittonic focus on the Druids, Ovates, and Bards.
Ár nDraíocht Féin (Organization)
ADF is a pagan church focused on the different ancient Indo-European Traditions they focus greatly on worship, study, and fellowship. The name ADF is short for Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship. You can find them here https://www.adf.org/ ADF has many things to offer and if you are Gaulish focused they have a couple different groups within to help you connect with others that are also Gaulish-focused.
Three Cranes Grove
This is an ADF grove housed in Ohio focused mostly on Gaulish polytheism, they hold public rites, workshops, and too community services.
ADF also has Kin groups within the organization that if you are a member you can join one of them is a Gaulish Kin group. If you are a member you can find a Facebook group connected to the Gaulish Kin group here at the Gaulish Kin ADF Facebook group
Sepânioi Rotî (Tradition)
A Gallo-Brittonic polytheistic Warband centered around the turning of the Cosmic Wheel, investing themselves and others to keep the Wheel turning, and enriching their lives through healing and healthy cultus. Those who feel the call to uphold the cycle of the Wheel are Tanxtos, the Sworn, immersing themselves into their communities, their gods, and their tradition.
Galatîs Litauiâs (Organization)
Galatîs Litauiâs (Galatis of the Earth) is a Gaulish Uarinâ (commons) an organization for all those that follow the different Traditions and Customs within the Gaulish Community. Galatîs Litauiâs was inspired by the gathering of the Druides in the land of the Carnutes and The Council of All Gaul. This is a space to come together and engage in discussion to learn and to help aid people to and into the Gaulish Realm of thought. Think of them like a great hall that all come to talk and discuss what everyone is up to in the greater community. They promote the greater Gaulish community and at the same time help to illuminate the individual. They are newbie-friendly and seasoned-friendly. While Gaulish Polytheism and the different Syncretic thoughts are welcomed their main focus is that of Gaulish Customs (Galatibessus) this is central to them that being in the times of 600 BCE – 1 CE give or take. Galatîs Litauiâs is affiliated with Gaulish Polytheism.com and Drunemeton.com.
