[20:08] He is 93 so I try to get up here every few weeks [20:08] It's wonderful that you are able to do that though, not everyone is able to. [20:09] I had to take early retirement in order to do it.

This is my first time on the chat [20:12] I'm waiting on some drizzle here... and Larabeth, first time here as well. :) [20:13] Mine as well. [20:13] I can only imagine! I'm in Alabama...we were lucky not to have a lot going on [20:13] Yay!!! I'm not alone! [20:13] =) [20:13] send all the rain over here! [20:13] (California) [20:13] May the gods of rain pour out their blessings upon your parched land. [20:14] Ah, poor California. Lyssa said it well. [20:14] *** LisaWM (Mibbit@sorcery-10u6pl.dsl.teksavvy.com) has joined #adf [20:15] Thanks Lyssa [20:17] So where are you all on your path? [20:17] I'm trying to finish up my dedicant work and polish it to send in!! [20:17] I'm starting the Dedicant Path as of today, I just joined last Friday so I consider myself a baby Druid. [20:17] oh! Welcome Lyssa! [20:18] Good luck with your DP stuff Larabeth [20:18] Recently finished the DP Now working on GSP & IP [20:18] Thank you, Victoria! [20:18] Thanks Lyssa! [20:18] Good luck with the GSP and IP, Rovena! [20:18] We are really to answer questions you might as you go along [20:18] I'm more eclectic with ties to Celt and Norse. Though I have been interested in druids for years. [20:18] Just finished the first circle of the CTP, not sure where I'm going next. [20:18] Good luck with your path Lyssa!!! =D [20:18] *** Rune_Brigidson (Mibbit@sorcery-10k168.mi.comcast.net) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [20:18] That's great Larabeth! Good luck [20:18] Nice Lisa! I'm working on the Pre-CTP work myself [20:18] Thanks Victoria! [20:18] :) [20:19] Rune, that's awesome. I lean mostly Norse in everything [20:19] *** Rune_Bluefeather (Brett@sorcery-10k168.mi.comcast.net) has joined #adf [20:19] *** Rune_Bluefeather (Brett@sorcery-10k168.mi.comcast.net) has quit IRC [Quit: Leaving] [20:19] I think I may be going CTP myself, but it all depends on where I am after the year of DP [20:19] Awesome, Victoria. I hope you learn a lot with it! [20:19] It's been good so far, Lisa [20:19] Thanks Rovena, we all can use the help for sure!! [20:20] Lyssa ... there are so many paths after your DP :) When I started my DP I had no interest in being clergy ... [20:20] Rune is my husband, he is working on getting back into the chat.... give him a sec and he will reply [20:20] OK, cool [20:20] *** Bjorn (Mibbit@sorcery-ekn1kp.res.rr.com) has joined #adf [20:20] Good Evening everyone :) [20:21] I don't know where I want to go after all of this, really. I'm just excited to be almost done with the first part. [20:21] Good Evening Bjorn [20:21] I know I am called to serve the Theoi of Hellas in some manner, right now I don't know if it's the CTP, the IP, or perhaps the Seer's guild.... I don't know what I'm going to do but I bet whatever it is, it will be fun. [20:21] *** RuneBrigidson (RuneBrigids@sorcery-10k168.mi.comcast.net) has joined #adf [20:21] I know the DP is the first stage, so first things first. [20:21] you could do all three :D [20:21] Good evening, Bjorn! [20:21] It is called a journey [20:21] I could, sounds like a lot of fun work! :) [20:22] The norse have a strong pull. Though Brigid got me first. [20:22] yeah .. with all the study programs that I want to do, I'll be learning forever [20:22] Hey, you're back! :) [20:22] Rune, Celtic/Norse is pretty common [20:22] Hi Bjorn! [20:22] That's cool Lyssa_Little_Bear [20:23] There we go, knew i had my irc stuff somewhere on here. [20:23] RuneBrigidson, I can understand that. Freyja roped me in. :) [20:23] This weeks chat looks a lot more active than last weeks! Last week's chat was a ghost town lmao [20:23] I just randomly noticed it was the right time and hopped on!!! I got lucky. :) [20:23] same here Larabeth [20:23] I'm at work .. and happen not to be super busy so I can chat [20:23] Normally I can't do Tuesdays, but this week I'm taking a night with my husband, just happened to notice it. [20:24] I'm honestly not sur who roped me in for the norse, though I do feel a slight pull towards Freyr [20:24] We have good timing Victoria_Leona [20:24] Freyja and I.....we've met. [20:24] I think I have everytihng set right now. [20:25] Bjorn, I've always felt odd that I have such a strong pull toward Freyja but not Freyr. [20:25] RuneBrigidson, it sounds like you've got a story there, hahaha [20:26] It would be fun to collect everyone's stories of encounters with the divine ... I'm sure there's quite a range of experiences [20:26] A guided meditation made an interesting turn. [20:27] I have little to no experience outside the realms of the Hellenic Gods.... but I do have quite a bit of experience with Them. [20:27] You were grabbed pretty quick Lyssa, you were theres and they knew it. [20:28] :P [20:28] I was always Artemis', I believe. [20:28] I love when people get to talking about their encounters. It would make a good book, Victoria [20:28] hmmm ... an anthology maybe? [20:28] Perhaps get in touch with someone with Asphodel Press or Neos Alexandrina? [20:29] *** Bjorn (Mibbit@sorcery-ekn1kp.res.rr.com) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [20:29] I have author friends to hit up :D .... now you've got me thinking [20:29] If you ever need submissions, search for me, my member name is Lyssa Little Bear as well. [20:30] Do it Victoria!!! I'd read it for sure! [20:31] It's always an idea. [20:32] I shall ponder ... [20:32] :) [20:32] :) [20:33] Going to make a check on dinner, brb [20:33] So .. What is everyone else up to? [20:33] Yum dinner [20:34] We're having london broil, because it was on super sell-it-today sale. :D [20:34] Yummmmm!!! [20:34] Beef, it's what's for dinner. [20:34] ;) [20:34] ohh ... nice plan .. yum [20:34] I tried to make spaghetti tonight and got the noodles and meat cooked... [20:34] Then realized we were out of sauce. -_- [20:34] ouch [20:34] The dogs were excited though... hahaha [20:34] meaty noodles? [20:34] hehe [20:35] Lol [20:35] LOL [20:35] *** RuneBrigidson (RuneBrigids@sorcery-10k168.mi.comcast.net) has quit IRC [Quit: Leaving] [20:35] Tonight is a bit of ... whatever is in the fridge + noodles & Lo Mein sauce [20:36] sounds like a good night, Victoria [20:36] Yay!!! Yeah, we ended up going with leftovers after that hot mess. ^_^ [20:36] So, question for those who have been/are going through the DP: If I follow the DP through the Wheel of the Year book, will it complete all my requirements? I have read a bit of the DPWOTY book, but not all of it yet. Is it a good guide? [20:36] So .. yes and no :) [20:36] Yes it's a good guide [20:37] but you won't answer all of the DP questions by just working through the WotY [20:37] and you're getting one person's view of how to work through it [20:37] *nodsnods* [20:37] I didn't use it so I can't say [20:37] it's a good way to work though it .. and it'll give you the base to answer all the questions yourself easily [20:37] don't feel afraid to range away from it though [20:37] Yeah, you'll end up using most of the reference materials... or at least I have [20:38] Ok [20:38] *nod* [20:38] thank you all for your advice, I don't want to screw something up and have to repeat it or resubmit... I'd rather get it right the first time [20:38] LOL [20:38] I submitted 3x [20:38] ouch [20:38] major ouch [20:38] I've only had one course that didn't have to get re-submitted [20:38] Everyone resubmits [20:38] remember .. it's pass/try-again :) [20:39] Still, I'd like to try and prevent that. If it's a foregone conclusion I'll treat it like it doesn't matter, so I have to do my best [20:39] *** RuneBrigidson (IceChat9@sorcery-10k168.mi.comcast.net) has joined #adf [20:39] Can confirm, everyone resubmits. [20:39] Did not mean to log off there. [20:39] *nodsnods* [20:40] We're just talking the Dedicant Path and resubmitting your requirements [20:40] Do they return it with notes so you know what they want you to work on? [20:40] Mine did. [20:40] He hated my book reports [20:40] they're required to [20:41] That's exceedingly helpful [20:41] Yes, reviewers have to explain what needs to be worked on in order for the requirements to pass. [20:41] Are you familiar with the evaluation criteria that the reviewers use? [20:41] The rubrics help [20:41] Not yet but before I do anything, I'm going to go over the rubrics [20:41] https://www.adf.org/members/training/dp/criteria/index.html [20:41] This? [20:41] https://www.adf.org/members/training/dp/criteria/index.html [20:41] Oops, thanks Larabeth [20:42] Yes, that [20:42] and Rovena, what was wrong with your book reports? [20:42] NP LisaWM :) [20:42] I may be signing myself up for more spiritual work it seems this year. [20:42] My opinions were throughout them instead of just in the closing [20:43] Aaaah [20:43] Gotcha [20:43] They don't give you a lot to go on with what they do want for things... *reading the rubric page* [20:43] Yeah, I was about to say, that doesn't look like it is covered in the rubric [20:44] A mentor might help [20:44] They are working on rewriting the rubric for the book reports [20:44] I'm grateful that my local Senior Druid has made himself available for questions.... [20:44] That's a good thing, Rovena [20:45] Rubric update is good. [20:45] They listen to what is causing problems and want to improve it [20:45] Glad they aren't letting it stagnate [20:46] Mentors can help .. there's also a FB Study group for the DP [20:46] I shall have to look that up [20:47] Be careful with the elist and Facebook groups. Many people answer who are students themselves. They mean well but can be wrong. [20:47] They can be right also [20:48] Rovena is right, you can get a mentor [20:48] Mentors can help you in the way that is best for you, whether that's informal chats or something more structured [20:51] I should have probably gone with a mentor [20:51] you still can [20:51] you don't have to start the DP with you .. I didn't [20:51] But I have been in a weird situation with work and done all my stuff mostly late at night/early hours of the morning [20:51] Oh really? [20:51] I found that I needed someone to help a few months in [20:52] yeah .. just email ADF-Mentor-Request@ADF.ORG for one [20:52] If I had gotten one I might have finished much sooner. [20:52] Thanks for the ideas!! [20:53] I think having someone to help me polish and gather my thoughts would be good [20:53] Indeed, thank you for the recommendation, I may [20:53] I may do that [20:58] Well, I'm about to walk the dogs [20:58] ok friends, i'm going to head out. have a good one!
