About Chris Godwin

Chris Godwin is Senior Druid of HearthStone Grove, ADF in Austin Tx. He was a student of several paths and traditions before finding his spiritual home in Indo-European reconstructionism in 1999. Chris is a local volunteer in the area as well as host and cohost of over 60 events per year in the local Austin Pagan community. Chris is also the local coordinator for Austin Pagan Pride Day. His award winning service to the community has been recognized on the national level by the Archdruid of ADF for interfaith work and for excellence in liturgy. Chris co-founded the now defunct Houston grove, Live Oaks ADF, in 2003, and served as head organizer of that grove from 2008 to 2010. Though undergoing clergy courses, he currently is working on developing new Indo-European specific magic and mysticism practices. Chris focuses on increasing practical solutions in realising a mainstream public paganism.
