Find out more about us at http://www.adf.org [19:56] *** Topic set by ChanServ!services@services.sorcery.net on Mon Aug 3 7:55 AM [19:56] *** Mode change [+o Owlhawk] on #adf by ChanServ [19:56] Excellent! [19:56] Hello Owlhawk [19:57] *waves @ Owlhawk* [19:58] [Owlhawk] hello [19:59] I'm in the process of re-doing a spring equinox ritual, so I may be a bit slow to respond from time to time. [20:00] Multi-tasking is common here [20:01] I am going crasy trying to find a book that both hubby and I saw in the house last week but it has disappeared. [20:01] [Owlhawk] by redoing, I'm assuming you mean rewritting, since spring equinox is another month or so away.... [20:02] [Owlhawk] time to talk to the House Faeries and Gnomes Rovena..... [20:02] Hubby is suppsoe to be keeping their glass full but I may have to check myself. [20:03] Yes, I meant re-writing. I might multitask, but I'm not one to chatroom and perform ritual at the same time. :) [20:03] [Owlhawk] I was more concerned with the timing [20:05] Nods... yes, my hope is to do this as close to the actual equinox as possible... which is why I'm starting my preparations (looking over ritual scripts, assessing supplies) now. [20:06] Good preplanning is essential [20:07] [Owlhawk] good thinking [20:09] *nods and thanks* [20:10] What are people here looking forward to as we get closer to spring? Any rituals or fun seasonal things? [20:11] Enjoying the warmer weather before it turns hot [20:12] [Owlhawk] hoping we only get one or two blizzards by the middle of April [20:14] LOL, I'm in blizzard land myself. Although lately it's been getting warmer; all of the ice dams have fallen off my roof. [20:15] I'm actually hoping to perform this equinox ritual outside, which I recognize is a bit of a gamble, weather-wise. [20:15] [Owlhawk] I'm in Ontario..... [20:16] You are further north than I am, Owlhawk; I'm in Maine.

[20:29] Hello Trent [20:32] im all right, going to have dinner soon [20:33] * Gebann smiles [20:37] Blessings, Gebann. [20:37] Hi TrentDirenna. [20:37] This is my 17th year in ADF and except for my daily Devotions I still seem to have trouble getting started and advancing, any suggestions? [20:38] What kind of advancement, specifically, are you having trouble with? Where would you like to see yourself? [20:38] (that last @Gebann) [20:39] [Owlhawk] define advancing. Then go ask the Kindreds their opinino [20:41] getting though the DP before I pass on. I start and then somehow never get far, loose interest for a while, but continue devotions [20:42] *** Christine (Mibbit@sorcery-s7891c.stlsmo.sbcglobal.net) has joined #adf [20:42] I am a solitary and on March 21st will be 85 years old [20:43] Hello Christine [20:44] Good evening! [20:44] Gebann, you know that you don't have to start over each time. Most of your earlier essays can be used [20:44] okay, dinner time for me [20:44] Dine well, Trent [20:45] THe only time sensitive parts are the 5 month mental discipline and the 8 high day recaps. [20:45] have done any essays, never seem to finish them [20:45] Gebann, it sounds like a good first step for you might be identifying what's causing you to "somehow never get far." Do you know why you have trouble finishing the essays? [20:46] I do all the High Days [20:46] [Owlhawk] Why do you feel you need to finish the DP [20:46] [Owlhawk] ?

[20:50] actually im back [20:50] *** Rovena (rovena@sorcery-4i0ccf.direcpc.com) has quit IRC [Connection closed] [20:50] *** Rovena (rovena@sorcery-4i0ccf.direcpc.com) has joined #adf [20:50] *** Mode change [+o Rovena] on #adf by ChanServ [20:59] I know that I do not have to finish the DP, Ihad the same problem with the Student Program of Isaac's Reformed Druids [20:59] On a separate topic, it seems like usually, when I try to comment on an ADF mailing list, I get a Mailer-Daemon failure notice. Has anyone else had that problem (and perhaps successfully resolved it)? [20:59] back in the 70's [20:59] [Owlhawk] Gebann, you didn't answer my question [21:00] [Owlhawk] Duette, email the webteam about that [21:00] Do you know what email address that would be, Owlhawk? [21:00] *is also waiting for Gebann's answer regarding the DP* [21:01] Owlhawk I guess I would loke to finish something [21:01] love* [21:01] [Owlhawk] adf-webmasterat_signadf.org [21:02] Sweet, thank you Owlhawk! I will let them know. [21:02] [Owlhawk] I think you can interpret the unexpected part there.... [21:02] sorry dinner [21:02] Regarding your challenges, Gebann... I think I might be hearing part of what could be keeping you from finishing the DP. [21:02] [Owlhawk] Then decide that you are going to finish it, and figure out how to doso Gebann. [21:03] [Owlhawk] Maybe start with Michael Dangler' [21:03] [Owlhawk] s DP through the [21:03] [Owlhawk] YEar [21:03] [Owlhawk] book [21:03] You say that you'd love to finish "something". Not the DP in particular, just something. I think the DP is a big enough project that if your only motivation to complete it is because you want to complete something in your life... that's probably not going to be enough. [21:04] Unless you can find something specific about the DP that is meaningful to you, meaningful enough to keep you motivated, you may continue to get distracted by other stuff [21:04] *** Rovena (rovena@sorcery-4i0ccf.direcpc.com) has quit IRC [Connection closed] [21:05] Also, it sounds (and please correct me if I'm wrong about this, Gebann) like you have trouble completing things in general? [21:05] If so, probably addressing that overall tendency first would be helpful to you in completing a specific goal like the DP. [21:05] I normally wouldn't get this advice-y, but since you asked... *shrugs* [21:08] [Owlhawk] Duette, I question how you have come to these conclusions given the limited information you have been given by Gebann. It seems extremely judgementall to me [21:08] I'm sorry... that's not how it was meant to come across. I was just trying to help. [21:09] [Owlhawk] it's how you came across. [21:10] I've had trouble myself completing long-term goals in the past. [21:10] ...I really wasn't feeling judge-y... I don't know what else to say about that. [21:11] [Owlhawk] So that leads you to judge another person? [21:11] [Owlhawk] you came across as through you were. [21:11] ....what exactly are you looking for, here, Owlhawk? [21:12] [Owlhawk] It's important when giving advice on a spiritial issue to set aside your issues and to not judge the other person. I try to give them advice that they can work with [21:12] [Owlhawk] and build on. [21:12] That's exactly what I was doing. I wasn't judging. And I've already apologized for inadvertently (apparently) coming across as if I was. [21:13] Giving advice that can be worked with was exactly what I was trying to do. [21:13] [Owlhawk] but it had a judging tone to it. [21:14] Again, what do you want, Owlhawk? [21:14] [Owlhawk] that generally is a bad way to approach these issues. subtlety is a good way to approach it [21:14] [Owlhawk] I'm trying to help you see how you approached this question [21:15] [Owlhawk] but lets leave it there and move on [21:36] *** Gebann (Gebann@sorcery-7er1ci.client.bresnan.net) has quit IRC [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] [21:38] *** TrentDirenna (Mibbit@sorcery-m92kpm.fios.verizon.net) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [21:58] *** Gebann (Gebann@sorcery-7er1ci.client.bresnan.net) has joined #adf [21:59] [Owlhawk] youyou're back!

[23:23] I know, but you see so many they kinda blend in [23:25] *** Danicia (Mibbit@sorcery-rghhv3.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) has joined #adf [23:25] *** Danicia (Mibbit@sorcery-rghhv3.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [23:29] [Owlhawk] True enough. Would you like personal reminder? Rovena does email reminders each week... [23:30] [Owlhawk] at least I think she does......or did..... [23:51] I'll see if I can force myself to remember them first, just so I don't put extra work on her plate yet. BUT, if that fails.. :D [23:54] [Owlhawk] lol. let her know. I do try to post each week in each facebook group when I get home from work. On that note, I'm off to bed. Good night. *** Closed channel log for #adf at 2017-02-28 11:56:10 PM
