Levels are in "Degrees"
The Vocation Path
After being an Acolyte, completing the Discernment Program, levels move from downward to upward and are now called Degrees. During this time you either act in the person of Deacon, consisting of only (1) one degree which is called the Novitiate or you act in the person of Priest, consisting of (5) five degrees.
Novitiate
Druid Deaconate
In the Deaconate, you serve as a Deacon and lead 10 other OCAB Druids. This Novitiate understands the foundations and reasons behind our theories and practices. Having been initiated into our Order, being a Deacon is part of your everyday life for the next five years. During this time you learn and perform our Rituals.
Competent | Proficient | Practiciant | Officiant

The Priesthood happens after the Deaconate. Here you enter your formal vocation and life as a Druid Priest There are four, five-year degrees. First, you are a Competent. Second, you are a Proficient. Third, you are a Practicant. Fourth, you are an Officiant. As a priest, you learn and perform our Rites.
