According to this blog, it "stands for the position held within the movement to be that of Past Grand Arch." (though not entirely sure what that means! - "Grand Arch Druid?")

From Wikipedia - 

"The Ancient Order of Druids is ruled by the Imperial Grand Archdruid." 

Maybe - Past? President? Grand Archdruid
