[20:05] Oh sorry that sounded rude after reading ...my bad, apologies, but is there a topic [20:05] No set topic. Whatever we come up with [20:06] I am in Carlsbad NM where are y'all [20:06] Austin, TX. [20:06] NW Louisiana [20:07] SE Pennsylvania [20:07] Ah! The OTHER planet! i love Austin. Am a Daughter i=of the Republic, originally from the DFW area [20:08] I'm a transplant, but I have family history here. [20:08] So with the 2nd fast approaching, is anyone doing something special for Imbolc? If so, what? [20:09] celebrating with my grove...I just became a full member of them [20:09] Last Saturday our protogrove has its ritual and the weekend of the 11th I am going to a retreat [20:10] What kind of retreat and where... sounds fun [20:11] ADF at UbarU Ranch on Mountian Home TX [20:11] I'm going on that retreat as well. [20:11] What is Mt Home close to? [20:11] There are lots of rituals and workshops. [20:11] Waco [20:11] Hill Country [20:12] What is the retreat name & is there info on the net [20:13] I am in Dark Hole of no pagan community. What is close is small and not connected. The other closest is full of crazies [20:13] *** rovena (rovena@sorcery-dtbvo2.direcpc.com) has quit IRC [Connection closed] [20:14] i used to live in a place like that [20:14] If you're on Facebook, look for Hearthstone Grove.

[20:18] will any one be creating a Brid's Bed/ One of my favorite things to do at this time [20:18] having pizza dinner, relaxing from work [20:19] brid's bed? [20:19] have never made one. [20:19] I've made crosses, been meaning to make dolls, but never heard of a bed [20:20] *** Kalisha (Mibbit@sorcery-gbkk7t.dynamic.tds.net) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [20:20] *** Kalisha (Mibbit@sorcery-gbkk7t.dynamic.tds.net) has joined #adf [20:21] taking a pot of good soil and planting seeds, or you can prep a flower bed for early bloomers or herbs.... [20:22] ahhh gotcha [20:22] I've not heard it termed that way [20:22] Not really an ADF thing... more Craft [20:23] interesting [20:24] we also take and bless white candles to burn as a mini or individual Need Fire/Cauldron or bonfire used for the group at large. [20:24] [Owlhawk] given that I have a black thumb rather then a green thumb, I won't be trying this. Although it sounds like a good way to include the nature spirits in your work with Brigid [20:24] A Need fire sets forth e request or aids in energy working towards getting a need fullfilled [20:25] [Owlhawk] please give your source for the Need Fire party [20:26] You might be surprised. I have experienced folks with No growing skill having beautiful Brid's Beds. Just remember to water on occasion and give plenty of Sun [20:26] After all, it's not just the Maiden rewakening, but also the slow return of the Sun & Lord [20:27] [Owlhawk] my wife suffers from migraines. the windows in our home are shuttered to keep the light out. not a good thing for plants [20:27] [Owlhawk] And our average temp for the next 2 months will be at between -10 and -30 C [20:28] *** maurilee (Mibbit@sorcery-9u7of1.nj.comcast.net) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [20:28] hmm, maurilee got kicked from the chat [20:28] she's rebooting her laptop [20:28] [Owlhawk] umm...no not kicked. Rovena or I would have tyo do that and we would all see it say she was kicked [20:28] Its Old going back to the UK/Ireland. I am Artemesian, Faerie, Isian, McFarland Dianic and a few other trads as well as a student of Stewart Farrarr [20:29] [Owlhawk] chat does do some odd things on occasion [20:29] Servers drop people all the time. [20:29] that's what I meant [20:29] The lest cloud cover and I get dropped [20:29] [Owlhawk] So in other words Kalisha, you have no verifabloe source for your claim about Need Fires [20:30] Wherre are you that its so cold [20:30] [Owlhawk] Ontario [20:30] *** rovena (rovena@sorcery-dtbvo2.direcpc.com) has quit IRC [Connection closed] [20:30] *** rovena (rovena@sorcery-dtbvo2.direcpc.com) has joined #adf [20:30] *** Mode change [+o rovena] on #adf by ChanServ [20:31] i have done this ritual with Issac, Ian and David Foster, is that enough? Or are you going to sound rude about things [20:31] OUCH!!!! Very COLD... too cold for me. [20:32] [Owlhawk] You think I've been rude? by asking for sources for your claims? Really? [20:33] Need fires are an old practice and have basis in early Celtic life. The Bon fires on the hills at Tara were used as Need fires for the people [20:33] Kalisha, asking for sources is so others can research things. It is not meant as a challenge [20:33] *** maurilee (Mibbit@sorcery-9u7of1.nj.comcast.net) has joined #adf [20:33] complete failure and restart on the laptop [20:33] sorry folks [20:33] That okay. It happens to everyone [20:33] first time with me [20:33] though I had trouble from my phone [20:34] Sorry... sounded like one. Check out 8Sabbats for Witches by Janet & Stewart Farrar, Some works by Doreen valiente [20:35] Also the Carmina Gadelica translated by Alexander Carmichael, but use an open mind and it takes some searching but its there [20:35] [Owlhawk] I've read the Farrar book. no verifable evidence to support your claim that Need Fires "sets forth e request or aids in energy working towards getting a need fullfilled [20:36] a need fire is what you make it as the name suggest. don't y'all do energy work [20:36] I do energy work [20:36] but I combine my eclectic pagan witch craft with the druid [20:37] then you might like to try doing a Need fire [20:37] [Owlhawk] that depends on how you define Energy Work. I try not to offend the Gods and Goddesses [20:37] I'm not sure what a Need Fire is [20:37] then do you do any magic at all [20:37] [Owlhawk] It's a sacred fire lit in a specific way and containing specific woods [20:38] [Owlhawk] That is something I only discuss with those I trust. Magic is not meant to be discussed in public [20:38] seems too complicated [20:38] like only harvesting plants during a certain time [20:38] that is the cauldron, a need fire can be something as simple as w white candle charge witha specific purpose and allowed to burn thru [20:38] I go out, singing and sharing my energy, watering and harvesting as needed with respect [20:39] Say who [20:39] Night Maurilee [20:39] [Owlhawk] here's a good start on what Need Fire is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need-fire [20:39] I was with Issac on several occasions when he gave public talks about magic [20:39] night rovena! [20:40] good night rovena [20:40] please keep in mind the Need fires can/may be different for different trads too [20:40] magic isn't something to be hidden in my books, only the gardnerian I know do that [20:40] why limit each other, seems we do enough of that anyways [20:41] lets build each other up and share instead [20:41] yeah, magic might not be as common in ADF, but it's still there [20:41] especially the hearth kind [20:41] [Owlhawk] there are many views on how Magic works and the best ways to ensure it does work. [20:41] YES! Magic is a part of the ADF I knew [20:42] [Owlhawk] The Magicians email list is a great place to discuss it [20:42] Talking about magic is OK, its a working that you have going that should be kept silent [20:42] well sounds like this is a good place for that too [20:43] I've heard that too Kalisha [20:43] I guess its the birthday candle thought [20:43] Tents of A magician: To Know, To Dare,To Will,To Keep Silent [20:43] if you share it doesn't come true [20:43] heh [20:43] but some magic seems best to combine with others [20:43] *** rovena (rovena@sorcery-dtbvo2.direcpc.com) has quit IRC [Connection closed] [20:43] or like a wishbone wish [20:44] yup [20:44] but sometimes I share that anyways, like I wish for a happy next year with my family [20:44] its when you do a spell or working that you want to keep silent. methods and techniques are wonderful when shared [20:44] but that's to my family [20:44] and then we make the wish come true [20:45] yeah [20:45] yep... magic takes work and faith [20:45] I'm not one to keep quiet [20:45] and if I do, well its scary [20:46] *** rovena (rovena@sorcery-dtbvo2.direcpc.com) has joined #adf [20:46] *** Mode change [+o rovena] on #adf by ChanServ [20:46] heh [20:46] without faith its simply a working that may or may not come to fruition. nothing scary unless you make it so. remember that magic is magic. No black or white, just intent [20:47] yep [20:47] to be fair, I have very little experience with "magic [20:47] lol yes, I meant if I'm keeping something quiet and to myself in general, but including magic, I've got some kind of trouble brewing in the cauldron [20:47] and Trent! you did you job spell [20:47] I don't really have any ability to sense "energy", at least that I know of [20:48] Magic can develop your will which is one of the great gifts we received from the Gods. FREE WILL! [20:48] that is true...though I didn't sense any energy with it, I just lit a candle and said some stuff [20:49] Did you have faith? Did you believe? [20:49] ...maybe [20:50] i was open to the idea [20:50] and it did work, or at least didn't not work :-P [20:50] Did you use your will to focus or did you simply mutter some words that you really didn't have feeling for [20:50] [Owlhawk] sensing energy is not entirly a matter of faith. skill is a major part [20:50] [Owlhawk] practice in that area makes a huge difference. [20:51] When I do magic I have faith and belief in what I am doing. I do it in a simple but sacred manner. Sometimes its just writing something out and carrying it with me. [20:51] i did have positive intent for the spell [20:51] i *wanted* it to work, certainly [20:52] Yes, but it takes effort and belief to master using your will and learning to sense energy. See... y'all are getting it! sometimes simple is best way to start [20:52] [Owlhawk] Trent, being able to focus yuor intent is a major part of magic. Meditation helps in developing such skills] [20:53] there's a big part of the dedicant path that's meditation. I really enjoyed it. If you have the time to dedicate I highly recommend it. [20:54] I'm planning on starting the DP soon [20:54] An exercise one can do is rub your palms together,separate them slightly, sense the pulsing. try to expand the distance between your palms still feeling the flow. Practice and you will find you are getting stronger and stronger working with energy [20:54] interesting [20:54] [Owlhawk] And what I mentioned is a big oart of why meditation is part of the DP. It's a valued skill in ritual as well as magic [20:55] right [20:55] agree [20:55] ditto [20:57] :) [20:57] [Owlhawk] Before you try Kalisha's energy exercixe make sure you can properly gound and center. [20:57] that's important. If you don't know how Trent I can go over it with you at ROG Imbolc [20:58] just check that Wikipedia site.. not so sure its the same thing i am referring to, I know it is a Craft tradition and no so much Druid, but have celebrated need Fire Rites with druids, ADF, OVBD and fam trad druids [20:58] i've done the motions of grounding and centering a lot, but i've never had a sense of it ever doing anything [20:59] i don't do much on my own [20:59] that's sad [20:59] [Owlhawk] if you are going to the Texas Imbolc weekend, I think you mentioned you were, then Drum should be able to help youwith it. [20:59] nope, not going to that one [21:00] That was Goldenrabbit [21:00] I'm going to my local grove's Imbolc instead, the ROG one maurilee mentioned [21:00] a great grounding exercise is the tree meditation... you become like a tree with roots stretching down from your feet, branches from your body & head [21:00] [Owlhawk] Sorry then. Grounding and centering is something I don't like teaching over chat.... [21:01] no worries [21:01] [Owlhawk] yes it is. and it's also what the Two Powers meditation is based off of [21:01] its not all that hard. it does take effort on the part of whom ever is attempting [21:02] I like to 'Tree' when I'm in line at the store, when I'm working, I can even do it well sitting. [21:02] being a tree is great, feels wonderful at times and helps to chill out [21:03] def [21:03] I like to do the yoga stance too [21:03] [Owlhawk] the best teaching despriotion of the Tree of Life Mediation I've seen is in Starhawk;s book [21:03] not so much on yoga, should be.. [21:03] which one [21:05] if Spiral, which edition [21:05] https://zendezblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/yogatree_illustration.jpg [21:05] can I not send links? [21:05] https://zendezblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/yogatree_illustration.jpg [21:05] weird [21:05] [Owlhawk] Spiral; Dance. and I didn't see a chance in the mediotion in any of the three editions [21:05] ah! it worked [21:05] [Owlhawk] chance =v change.... [21:06] sorry double of the same [21:06] [Owlhawk] no proble m maurilee. we all do that kind of thing on occasion [21:07] first time for everything [21:07] OK .I ask so I can look it up later. Been years since I read her stuff [21:08] [Owlhawk] I've lost multiple copies of Spiral Dance to people who likely needed it [21:09] I tend to horde books and loose crystals and candles [21:09] [Owlhawk] it's the book that taught me, many moons ago, how to perform the tree of life meditaiton [21:09] LOL..... I don't do the library thing any more. used to, had check out cards with due dates, the whole works [21:09] I've got an older copy of it myself [21:10] i have a copy somewhere [21:10] [Owlhawk] I've, at various points in time, owned all three versions of Sprial Dance. [21:11] i liked Spiral Dance except some of her history was off. my First Edition copy is loaded with crib notes down the pages. But with that said, it is a good primer [21:11] my first was a sabbath book by some unknown author in the circles I run in [21:11] but from there I found cunningham [21:12] [Owlhawk] The exercises are the best I've ever seen. The 25th edition, with her notes, was far beter [21:12] *** GoldenRabbit (Mibbit@sorcery-ulct3v.pools.spcsdns.net) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [21:12] *** GoldenRabbit (Mibbit@sorcery-ulct3v.pools.spcsdns.net) has joined #adf [21:12] agreed [21:12] [Owlhawk] Cunningham has, I suspect, introuduced more people to the Craft then any other author [21:12] but for me her best was truth or dare [21:13] yeah [21:13] [Owlhawk] Been a long time since I';ve read that. I would have to read it again to give an opinion [21:13] no...I would say Ray Buckland has that distinction [21:13] hmm [21:13] [Owlhawk] ummm....arguable. I've found most sstart with Cunningham and then move to Buckland. [21:14] this era I would say that cunningham has stolen the show [21:14] and down the line it'll be some tv show [21:14] Guess it depends on what circles you tend to run in [21:14] [Owlhawk] That said, there is a copy of Uncle Buckies' Big Blue Book on my shelves [21:14] I've heard that Chris Penczak's books are also real popular [21:15] [Owlhawk] I haven't read his stuff [21:15] I call him Unky Buck. he hates it to and tells me,"Kal, I am not your uncle! Brothe yes, uncky no.' [21:15] i actually have a few of those...I started reading Inner Temple but got turned off by his bullshit witch history chapter, lol [21:15] [Owlhawk] I've yet to see a more complete lesson plan then his book [21:15] Christopher can be confusing for many [21:16] ha! I didn't know you had his books, I was turned off in the same chapter! [21:16] [Owlhawk] I haven't found Penczak's books. [21:16] I've even met the author at a few events and had to take a step back from all of his works [21:16] lol [21:17] I know he's married, or at least partners, with some well known game authors [21:17] Honestly my most recommended books come from the adf list [21:17] seriously [21:17] Phil Brucato for one, creator of Mage The Ascension [21:18] i don't care for him or his books. he has taken something (oops! did I say take, i meant steal) from others and reworked it to attempt top make up his own craft path. he wants top be famous and rich, that is all.don't trust him [21:18] [Owlhawk] Maurilee, the authors we are discussing are mostly Wiccan authors [21:18] [Owlhawk] Starhawk is more Faerie Traditon [21:19] well, reclaiming [21:19] originally feri [21:20] yes, but PLEASE keep in mind that Wiccan is Gardnerian or Alexandrian with their offshoots like kKngstone & Central Valley or Bluestone [21:20] Thank you! Feri & Faerie are not the same thing [21:21] [Owlhawk] for the purposes of this chat, I cannot see why most of that matters [21:21] [Owlhawk] spelling is not my stongest point;... [21:21] books are books [21:21] and people read them, no matter the tradition [21:21] yeah [21:21] I find most of the ones we have been talking about have a screwed version of history [21:21] and history is too important for me to tolerate that [21:21] maintaing correct distinctions is always important if we are to avoid the confussions of past decades [21:22] and ADF recommends a few none druid [21:23] for non any of this I love Joseph Campbell and Karl Kerenyi [21:23] [Owlhawk] if you want a decent version of Wiccdan history, then read Triumph of the Moon by Ronald Hutton, for the wiccan history [21:23] or Phillip Hesselton [21:24] [Owlhawk] do you have an amazon link for his book?? [21:24] I had triumph but lost it in a move [21:24] I think lol, its not on the shelf now [21:24] I read Hutton, what's Heselton like? [21:24] I have the hard bounds, sorry no link [21:25] [Owlhawk] I found Hutton very academic. Which is a good thing. I've not heard of Hesselton [21:25] https://www.amazon.com/Triumph-Moon-History-Modern-Witchcraft/dp/0192854496/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485915959&sr=8-1&keywords=triumph+of+the+moon [21:26] honest about Gardner and the modern origins, easier cadence than Hutton but just as well researched. Thee Brits actually like hesselton over Hutton [21:26] interesting [21:26] Hessleton is required reading if seeking admittance to Gard coven, Hutton is only recommended [21:27] Hesselton's newest id Doreen Witch, a bio of Doreen Valiente [21:28] cool [21:29] [Owlhawk] I'm going to mention at this point that ADF does not require wiccan learning [21:29] yup [21:29] but many come from that background and still use some of it [21:29] Hey.. y'all are supposed to be druid.... can we turn things back to druid celebration of Imbolc maybe [21:29] and druids inspired wiccans, in a way [21:29] [Owlhawk] AFK [21:29] what is everyone doing for Imbolc? [21:29] I saw some celebrated Sunday last, but I don't until Sunday next [21:30] debatable there.......... [21:30] you what i'm doing for imbolc, maurilee ;) [21:30] if you don't mind sharing [21:31] [Owlhawk] back [21:31] oh, I'm just going to my local grove's Imbolc [21:31] maurilee is in the same grove :) [21:31] I need to go.

The key, don't force [21:38] I've not worked with many so it'll be fun [21:38] this year is about the moon and phases for me, and I feel like I'm coming back to the begginng [21:38] relax and let it happen. yopu will be rewarded for the efoort [21:39] darn.. starting to get those darn keyboard pixies [21:41] trust me, preaching to the choir here [21:41] I work hard but also know I can't rush things either [21:41] and the pixies seem to be everywhere [21:41] time for me to get going [21:41] ; [21:41] ) [21:41] [Owlhawk] good night Trent [21:42] this was a great conversation :) [21:42] night night everyone [21:42] been fun.. thank you for putting up with me.

I thought it went well,. [22:02] *** beej_ (beej@sorcery-038kof.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) has joined #adf [22:03] [Owlhawk] Hi BJ [22:03] Hello BJ [22:03] Evening! [22:03] Not sure why I'm listed twice. [22:03] *** beej (beej@sorcery-038kof.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) has quit IRC [Quit: Leaving] [22:04] How are you tonight? [22:04] [Owlhawk] No cluel [22:04] Hmm. IRC logged me in on two separate feeds. Weird! [22:04] [Owlhawk] odd. [22:04] Anyways, mostly good. How are yous? [22:05] [Owlhawk] excellent, considering we are looking at snow for the next two months [22:05] Doing okay [22:05] Ahh.. snow. So pretty. So dangerous. ;) [22:05] So cold SO wet [22:06] [Owlhawk] HAHA...well, we haven't lostanyt houses so far this year... [22:06] Hah! Yes, that too. [22:07] It seems like I'm always either too late for chat, or getting here just about the time everyone is ready to leave. Anything interesting to chat about? [22:07] [Owlhawk] not looking like we'll lose housesiong this year [22:08] Need to get more Mountain and West Coast people to join in [22:08] Not losing housing is a good thing. [22:08] [Owlhawk] I'm sending a log of each chat to the web team to be posted [22:08] [Owlhawk] I do tend to be a week or 4 behind.... [22:09] Yeah, I was thinking about adding a comment to the adverts that west coast folks could meet at our 8pm... too late for most east coast folks, but we are barely getting home from work at 5 here, so the normal time isn't helpful for us. [22:09] [Owlhawk] BJ, that is a fantasic idea. [22:09] Awesome on sending in the logs. Any idea where they're being posted? [22:10] [Owlhawk] uhm...not off the top. [22:11] [Owlhawk] I did know, but it's late and I'm fading...... [22:12] No worries. I'll try to dig around after this week. It'd be good to remind folks that it's there... might even get more folks to pop in. [22:12] I have ritual to run this Thursday and then I immediately leave for a convention for the rest of the weekend [22:14] [Owlhawk] that'll keep you busy [22:15] Busy is good [22:17] Exhausted is more like it. [22:17] That could definitely happen [22:18] Just finished building two commission pieces for the convention... and I've been working 50hr weeks for my regular job. Can't wait for Feb 6th! lol [22:18] I am happy to be retired [22:19] [Owlhawk] here is the link for the past chats. https://www.adf.org/forums/chats/irc/logs/index.html [22:19] Gods, if only! [22:19] Oh, awesome. Thanks! *** Closed channel log for #adf at 2017-01-31 11:16:08 PM
