The Henge of Keltria (HoK) is an international druid order, founded in 1988 as a religious and educational organization. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. It is commonly regarded as being one of the first explicitly Celtic-focused American Druid Orders. The order draws upon the Mythological Cycle of Irish mythology and some other early Celtic/British texts for inspiration. == History == The Henge of Keltria began organizing in 1988 as a “breakaway” organization from Ár nDraíocht Féin (ADF) with initial groves in Minnesota, Massachusetts, and Texas. The bylaws of the organization divide the Order into two major divisions. First is a secular organization consisting of a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and three ''ad hoc'' trustees. This Board of Trustees is responsible for all operational activities of the organization. The second division is a religious order consisting of an Elected Archdruid and elected Elders who comprise the Council of Elders which provides the theological direction for the church and maintains religious standards throughout the Order. The Henge registered with the state of Minnesota as a non-profit corporation in 1995 and received its 501(c)(3) determination letter from the IRS in 2005. By 1989, it began publication of a quarterly newsletter, “Henge Happenings,” for its membership. Also in 1989, the HoK also began publishing ''Keltria: Journal of Druidism and Celtic Magick'' as a publicly available journal. ''Keltria Journal'' is more article driven and less newsy than the newsletter. ''Keltria Journal'' ceased publication in 1998 after 39 issues and took a 13 year hiatus. Publication of the ''Keltria Journal'' began again in 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henge of Keltria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
