ADF was a reaction to many of the cultish pseudo-religions ( Neopagan or not ) with which Bonewits was familiar and ( in a few cases ) had experienced.

However, ADF was also a reaction to the Reformed Druids of North America, a freethinking religious group which Bonewits considered too loose and not Neopagan enough.

Phillip Emmons Isaac Bonewits ( October 1, 1949 – August 12, 2010 ) was an influential American Druid who published a number of books on the subject of Neopaganism and magic.

Bonewits was born on October 1, 1949 in Royal Oak, Michigan, as the fourth of five children.

Bonewits was married five times.

On July 23, 2004, he was married in a handfasting ceremony to a former vice-president of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans, Phaedra Heyman Bonewits.

Bonewits ' only child, Arthur Shaffrey Lipp-Bonewits, was born to Deborah Lipp in 1990.

Bonewits was ordained as a Neo-druid priest in 1969.

During this period, the 18 year old Bonewits was recruited by the Church of Satan, but left due to political and philosophical conflicts with Anton LaVey.

Between 1973 and 1975 Bonewits was employed as editor of Gnostica magazine in Minnesota ( published by Llewellyn Publications ), established an offshoot group of the RDNA called the Schismatic Druids of North America, and helped create a group called the Hasidic Druids of North America ( despite his lifelong status as a " gentile ").

In 1983, Bonewits founded Ár nDraíocht Féin ( also known as " A Druid Fellowship " or ADF ), which was incorporated in 1990 in the state of Delaware as a U. S. 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization.

In 1990, Bonewits was diagnosed with Eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome.

On October 25, 2009, Bonewits was diagnosed with a rare form of colon cancer, for which he underwent treatment.

In the United States, the Ancient Order of Druids in America ( AODA ) was founded in 1912, the Reformed Druids of North America ( RDNA ) was established in 1963 and Ár nDraíocht Féin ( ADF ) in 1983 by Isaac Bonewits.

The organization was founded in 1983 and incorporated in 1990 as a U. S. 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization by Isaac Bonewits.

The name was also chosen as a way to screen out would-be members lacking senses of humor ( personal communication to Isaac Bonewits ).

In 1966, while enrolled at UC Berkeley, Bonewits joined the Reformed Druids of North America, or RDNA.

Bonewits, in his article " My Satanic Adventure ", asserts that the rituals in Satanis were staged for the movie at the behest of the filmmakers and were not authentic ceremonies.

These are conjectures and perhaps can only be considered as social and maybe political philosophy ; they may have implications for theology, or thealogy as Zell-Ravenheart and Isaac Bonewits put it.

Born in Royal Oak, Michigan, Bonewits had been heavily involved in occultism since the 1960s.

During his stint in the Church of Satan, Bonewits appeared in some scenes of the 1970 documentary Satanis: The Devil's Mass.

Over the years Bonewits also had varying degrees of involvement with mystical organizations such as Ordo Templi Orientis, Gardnerian Wicca, and the New Reformed Orthodox Order of the Golden Dawn ( a Wiccan organization not to be confused with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn ) as well as others.

In his book Real Magic ( 1971 ), Bonewits proposed his hypothesis on the Laws of Magic.
