History of the Drynemetum Press

We are not a profit oriented collective that collects and publishes materials pertaining to Reformed Druidism.

We might even aid them a little with the editting.


Our name stems from a jocular translation of the 1960's underground press "The Grove" into the Old-Celtic language. Although authorities differ on the etymology, the "Dry"/"Dru" means "Oak" or "Wise" and "Nemeton"/"Nemetum" is a circular construction (usually earthern or a stand of trees) built by the continental Celtic peoples. So Drynemetum roughly means "Druid's Grove". There is now another printing company called "Drunemeton Magazine", but it bears no relationship to our company.



Various Reformed Druids have published under The Drynemtum Press label, most notably:
