THE ARCHDRUID
M. Rev. E.J. OakLore
Author/editor of The Druidcraft Grimoire: Rites and Liturgies, Rev. OakLore is a lover of nature and has been devoted to the study of metaphysics and philosophy since childhood. OakLore considers himself a “born Druid.” His call to the Elder Ways began at the age of 12 and was formalized in 1998 with his initiation and later ordination as a Wiccan Priest. Not long thereafter, he began exploring Druidry. In the spring of 2000, OakLore founded the Druidic Order of the Covenant of Avalon. Years later members were inspired to explore a combined Druid and Wiccan tradition and in 2008 the Order was reformed to include this new spiritual focus. In 2016 the Order was officially renamed The Druidcraft Fellowship.
OakLore has studied philosophy independently through a handful of universities, most notably Yale, Rutgers, and the University of Edinburgh (Scotland). He is a graduate of the University of Metaphysics, holding undergraduate and graduate degrees in Metaphysical Science, and is currently a Doctor of Theology candidate at the University of Sedona.
OakLore has been a frequent commentator in local and national media, helping to educate the public and correct misinformation about Pagan beliefs and practices. He has appeared on MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, and his remarks have been published by the Associated Press, the Albany Times Union, The New York Daily News, and The Washington Post.
In addition to his role as Archdruid of the Order, OakLore is also High Priest of Heart of Manannán, the Mother Coven of TDF, based in Jacksonville, FL. He is also Chancellor and Professor of Theology for the Covenant of Avalon Theological Seminary.
