AboutThis is an unofficial community for members and friends of Grove of the Other Gods, the ADF grove of New Brunswick, NJ.
A bit about GOG:
"On Imbolc 2002 we changed the name of the grove from the one picked in 1990. Grove of the Other Gods was the new name the grove picked—out of roughly one hundred suggested names. The winning name was submitted by one of our members after he saw a fragment of an altar that was dedicated just to 'the other Gods' in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. The name reflects the grove’s traditional closeness to the 'outsiders' as well as the pan-Indo-European nature of our worship and the exuberant joy that we take in performing old folk traditions. 'The Other Gods' also celebrates the area we live in—a densely-populated and diverse area teeming with cultures and religions from all over the globe: synagogues, mosques, Hindu temples, Jain temples, Sikh temples, Santeria botanicas, Christian churches and cathedrals, various Wiccan covens, Norse hearths, and who knows what else....
"Who are the Other Gods? You decide. We provide a newsletter, a web site, and a calendar of events run by grove members so you can go to the events you have an interest in when you have the time for it, or you can put your own events on the calendar. We understand that life in the NewYork / New Jersey area makes special demands on our time and energy (and yours) and we have created a format that lets people to devote as much or as little time to the grove as their needs allow."
