I think it is going to one of those nights. [19:58] Lol [19:59] This is my first time here. How does it work? [19:59] You have to buy the first round. [19:59] done! [19:59] lol [20:00] Seriously, we have no set topic for tomight so people just talk about whatever is on their minds [20:00] Mind you, you all have to come up to Canada to get it. [20:00] Is there usually a set topic? [20:00] Yay free booze [20:00] As soon as I can get a passport. [20:01] Sometimes there are but we always are open to questions and concerns. [20:01] idx... if you wait until July you can get legal weed up here too. Heehee [20:02] Where is everyone from? [20:03] That’s cool they are legalizing it [20:03] Well, what can I say. We are pretty cool in Canada. [20:03] I'm in NW Louisiana, the SHreveport area. [20:03] I'm on the west coast of Canada - Vancouver Island [20:03] OWlhawk is proof of that [20:04] Owlhawk is Canadian? [20:04] Yes. Ontario [20:04] Louisiana here [20:05] It seems like there is quite a large group of ADFers in Ontario. [20:05] So, you both are from Louisiana? [20:05] Do you know each other f2f? [20:06] No, we are at opposite ends of the state [20:06] Maybe, one day I will get down his way. [20:06] Are there many ADF people in Louisiana? [20:07] There are about half a dozen on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver. [20:07] Less than 20 last time I looked [20:08] So, are there any groves in Louisiana? I'm just asking because I would like to start a grove in my area. [20:08] Only mine. We have 3 members and 4 friends [20:09] *** Danicia (danicia@sorcery-40jqkl.click-network.com) has quit IRC [Connection closed] [20:09] *** Danicia (danicia@sorcery-40jqkl.click-network.com) has joined #adf [20:09] Starting a grove can be a lot of work but it is worth it. [20:10] We have a FB group for Vancouver Island with a mix of ADF, OBOD, ADOA, solitaries, Celtic reconstructionists, and other assorted pagans. [20:10] About 24 of us, but so far the most we have had out to ritual is 6. [20:11] That is about normal. [20:11] It's about 7 hours to drive from one end of our island to the other and we are spread out all over the place. [20:12] How long has your grove been around? [20:12] Distance is always a issue [20:12] Yes [20:13] We got grove status in February 2017 but we were a protogrove for years before that. [20:14] I'd like to get a grove started here. There are really only two of us willing to do any organizing [20:15] My problem is that I haven't had a pagan mentor for a year yet. And, other than online, the likelihood of me finding one is slim [20:15] Started as Cypress Point Protogrove started 2009 or 2010. They were 3 hrs south of us. When their GO moved out of state the protogrove passed to us. [20:15] Makes it hard to meet the criteria on the application [20:15] So, it was already started when you joined? [20:16] I don't understand about a mentor [20:16] I joined ADF in 2005. So the protogrove came along later [20:17] One of the things on the application is to provide the name of a couple of references - one has to be a pagan mentor who has known you for at least a year. [20:17] I've been in ADF for not quite a year yet. [20:17] I’ll brb [20:17] *** idx (idx@sorcery-dtuse3.4pi2.86p2.fb90.2607.IP) has quit IRC [Quit: Mutter: www.mutterirc.com] [20:18] *** ErinP (Mibbit@sorcery-sdobqp.dsl.bell.ca) has joined #adf [20:18] Hello Erin [20:18] Mouse?

[20:20] I'm staying home tomorrow on account of the probability of getting 15cm of snow [20:21] Sounds like a good idea to me [20:21] I don't like driving on snow or ice [20:21] My boss is working from home. But I don't have that option. So I had to take vacation time [20:21] Lol where do you live [20:21] I don't blame you. [20:22] Canada - west coast [20:22] Ah I'm in Ottawa [20:22] Louisiana.
