Banana bread........drool...... [19:34] Love banana bread [19:39] :) [19:39] trying to cook with splenda but blech. aftertaste [19:39] [Owlhawk] fake sugar is not allowed in our house for any reason [19:40] 2/3 of us are diabetic [19:43] [Owlhawk] that can be a problem. wife is allergic to fake sugar. [19:44] A protogrove mate is gets migraines from aspertaine [19:45] [Owlhawk] that's what happens to her as well. and really quickly too [19:48] splenda is not aspartame i don't think [19:48] but some people are sensitive to allof them [19:49] [Owlhawk] I don't see any difference in any of them. She is very sensitive to all of them. So we simply don't have any in the ohouse and no diet anything. [19:50] sounds good. [19:50] i was okay with just Not Baking really....but Seamus missed cookies and such :) [19:51] Love baked goods [19:56] [Owlhawk] I fully understand his position. baking is a necessity of life! [19:57] hehe [19:57] what's the topic du jour? [19:58] [Owlhawk] nothing as of yet so far as I know. want to pick it? [19:58] World Domination [19:59] [Owlhawk] Ok PInky [19:59] Seriously, none was announced [20:01] hehe [20:01] [Owlhawk] have either of you seen the movie Spirit of Albion yet? [20:03] No, how is it? [20:03] [Owlhawk] Excellent. It's from the pagan point of view and about paganism. [20:04] [Owlhawk] very needed. [20:04] not even heard of it [20:05] *** Rovenamarie (rovena@6ca5ecc2.a55580.67.143.imsk) has quit IRC [Remote host closed the connection] [20:05] [Owlhawk] https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Spirit-of-Albion-the-Movie/154835874546758 [20:06] [Owlhawk] http://www.thespiritofalbionthemovie.com/ [20:06] [Owlhawk] http://www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbeckett/2012/05/the-spirit-of-albion.html [20:07] [Owlhawk] I found it on a torrent Friday night. I might actually have to buy a copy in support of it. [20:09] *** Rovena (Mibbit@6ca5ecc2.a55580.67.143.imsk) has joined #ADF [20:09] Domination [20:10] *** Mode change [+o Rovena] on #ADF by ChanServ [20:10] [Owlhawk] Ok Pinky [20:10] Sorry forgot what was in the clipboard [20:10] [Owlhawk] lol [20:10] *** Drum (Mibbit@14055acf.6ca5ecde.73.161.imsk) has joined #ADF [20:10] goodness! :) [20:10] *** Mode change [+o Drum] on #ADF by ChanServ [20:11] Hello!

[20:11] It must have an important feline message [20:11] [Owlhawk] Hello Drum. [20:12] [Owlhawk] All things belong to the Cat!! Don't you know that? [20:12] She is being cranky as we have a sick kitten staying in the room and she is not happy about the invasion [20:13] *** Dale_ (guest@da0a743d.new.res.14056255.com.hmsk) has joined #ADF [20:13] Good evening [20:13] [Owlhawk] hello [20:13] Hello Dale [20:14] Hi Owlhawk and Rovena. How are things? [20:14] Good [20:14] Hello! [20:14] Hi Drum. [20:15] [Owlhawk] Excellent. As of yet we don't have snow. After the week Calgary had, this is excellent news! [20:15] Ready for the equinox? I feel behind the curve this time. I was out of town on business last week and slacked off on preperations. [20:16] [Owlhawk] I keep forgetting to do anything for it. [20:16] Our group ritual is Saturday so we need to get it together [20:17] We are doing the main ritual at the local intentional (off grid) pagan community. Yeah, we need to get it together also. [20:18] our is sunday, but i got no responsibilities other than showin' up :D [20:19] Drum, did you get my response regarding the offer for a visit? We are quite interested. [20:22] [Owlhawk] Anyone know where the new protogrove in florida is located? [20:22] I did, sir [20:22] It will probably be after Samhain. I have to be a fewtoo many places curently [20:23] Owlhawk, St Petersburg, FL [20:23] St Petersburg [20:23] [Owlhawk] thanks [20:24] I can imagine that you have quite a few commitments. Whenever it works out for you. [20:25] St. Petersburg, that’s right next door to where one of my coworkers moved back from. They really liked the weather down there. [20:26] I will be in Illinois around Yule, so that may be a possibility [20:29] Ok. Winter solstice will be a Slavice rite for us. [20:29] Cool! [20:29] I have been to Baltic ones but never a Slavic one [20:30] We need to do some rewriting from last year as we had three dieties of the occasion…which was a bit excessive. [20:30] We asked for a mild winter…and, well, you see what we got :D [20:31] Try try again! [20:32] [Owlhawk] At least the answer was easy to understand [20:33] We did get a mild summer, we were only 6 months off. [20:36] lol [20:37] In our rites, we typically open up the praise offerings to the kindred of the people who attend, and don’t limit it to the DotO. Is that practice atypical, and do people generally have problems with it? [20:38] We think that the people who attend like the openess of it, but I do understand that it may be off putting to the DotO. For the equinox we are planning on moving the praise offerings before inviting the DotO and then having a group offering to the DotO. Any thoughts? [20:38] We do it but we are a small cohesive group [20:41] we are doing gaulish, and then i think hellenic for samhain :/ [20:41] dale; that's how we do it [20:41] kindreds then offerings for them from the folk; DotO then offerings for them from the folk [20:41] It was reallying good going to Midnight Flame and talking with other ADF’ers. Seeing of different people not only interprete the written information we have, but who also have shaped what we are and know the original intention was valuable. [20:41] midnight flame was very nice :) [20:42] [Owlhawk] We're hoping for next year [20:42] Leesa, great. That was my compromise between eliminating the practice of general offerings, and ensuring that the DotO was sufficiently honored. [20:43] *** mimerki (Mibbit@a10082f4.tukw.de83b96b.net.hmsk) has joined #ADF [20:43] i do miss when we were small enough in attendance that everyone could say their piece while giving their personal offering :/ [20:44] I hope I can make it again next year. The general family thought is that we will go to PSG next year, and in 2016 we’ll try to make either Summerlands or Wellspring. [20:44] [Owlhawk] I don't think I'll ever make Summerlands. [20:48] Maybe, if I win the Lotto, I could show up at the festivals [20:49] [Owlhawk] That's on my list of things to do! [20:50] We’ve use our tax returns to attend PSG. I’ve always been concerned about having to pay in at the end of the year after owing the state $1000 once. Now that extra is taken out it’s like a savings account I can’t touch. [20:54] [Owlhawk] That's how we'll be attending Kaleidoscope Gathering next summer [20:54] [Owlhawk] Hello Mimerki [20:55] Hello Mimerki [20:57] Hello! [20:57] Hi Mimerki [21:01] Time to put the kids to bed BRB. [21:05] [Owlhawk] so, next topic? [21:07] newbies arent' allowed to tell people they're doing it wrong? :D [21:07] *** ErinFortner (Mibbit@14055a57.14055ad5.104.139.imsk) has joined #ADF [21:07] [Owlhawk] Is that about Judith's post on the facebook group? [21:07] [Owlhawk] Her stuff is great. Knows a ton about Ogham too [21:08] hahahah among others :) [21:09] [Owlhawk] Yeah, I've noticed a few times over the years newbies trying to correct everyone [21:10] *puts on newbie hat [21:10] "But surely I should tell a stranger that her art is wrong..." [21:11] Hello Erin [21:11] That's because everyone else is WRONG. Also, hi. [21:11] :P [21:11] :P [21:11] [Owlhawk] hi Erin [21:12] oh hi erin!! :) [21:12] Sorry I'm a bit late to the party... Late classes stink sometimes. [21:12] [Owlhawk] lol [21:13] As long as people are still here you ain't late [21:14] [Owlhawk] I vaguely remember late classes...really vaguely [21:14] this was a particularly boring late class, too. [21:15] [Owlhawk] What's the topic of it? [21:16] Career Development and Counseling. It's not always boring, but we got REALLY off topic tonight. [21:16] [Owlhawk] lol [21:16] I’m back. Hmm, off topic, I have that effect on meetings ;) [21:17] We were saving the important stuff for your return [21:18] *** Server connection lost [21:18] *** Nickname is already in use: Owlhawk [21:18] *** Owlhawk1 (Owlhawk@cf983e33.cpe.net.cable.f33844f1.com.hmsk) has joined #ADF [21:18] *** Topic is: Welcome to the chat for Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship (ADF).
