How much does the Dedicant Path cost?
The guide to the Dedicant Path, the Dedicant Manual, comes with your ADF membership. The program also has some required reading, so there is an additional cost for those books if you purchase them (though most are available through your local library). Our recommended reading page lists many books in order to give students choices of what to read, but you definitely don’t need to buy all of them. The only required books are one Indo-European studies title, one preferred ethnic study title (Celtic, Norse, etc.) and one modern Paganism title. If you buy the books new, at about $25 per book that’s an additional $75 spread out over the year of the program. However, many Dedicants use libraries, borrow books, get the books used, check EBay auctions, etc., so the cost can be considerably less.
