[19:48] Its a pretty good hike for us too, but we are going to vend to cover the xpenses [19:48] were you at Trillium? [19:48] I am in NW Louisiana so I don't make the festivals [19:51] *** maurilee (Mibbit@sorcery-9u7of1.nj.comcast.net) has joined #ADF [19:52] Hello Maurilee [19:52] How are you tonight? [19:53] Hi Maurilee [19:54] hello all! [19:55] How doth this day find you? [19:56] It was a pain because I had a migraine all day, but now I am feeling better.

[19:58] How was all of your days [19:58] Is there another Josh around? [19:59] Josh, the feeling better was me [19:59] I said I was in pain this morning but its better [19:59] and that's all I know we've talked about [19:59] Ah, got it [20:00] I may drift away from the keyboard for a bit since I still need to make lunch for tomorrow [20:00] I'm multi tasking myself [20:00] I had asked earlier if anyone was going to be at Wellspring [20:02] ah [20:02] I think I may [20:02] but still trying to work it all out [20:04] It is too far for me to drive and I can't fly until I get an approved drivers license or a passport [20:06] my husband and I share a car so its gonna be a pain to work out for me to drive and I can't find anyone in Jersey to car pool with [20:06] [Owlhawk] I won't make Wellsprings for a while. It's at the wrong time of year for me, and is not a long weekend in my country. [20:10] [Owlhawk] maurilee, have you posted in the Wellsprings facebook group looking for a ride, or on the email lists? [20:10] omg [20:10] there's a facebook group [20:10] [Owlhawk] yes.... [20:11] ... I just asked my grove and fellow adf druids i know [20:11] will you add me [20:15] anyone going to summerland? that's on my list too [20:16] [Owlhawk] I know it's on here somewhere, but it's not coming up for me. maybe because I listed myself as not attending. Start by posting io ADF Gerneral Disscusion. [20:16] ok thank you [20:16] [Owlhawk] summerland is simply too far for me. Wellspings is a 10 hour drive at a minimum for me [20:16] [Owlhawk] your welcome. also post in the email lists. [20:17] Every festivals is too far for me except for the Imbolc Retreat. [20:17] i thought they were both in Ohio [20:17] just one in the middle and one on the west [20:17] [Owlhawk] here's the event page for wellsprings. https://www.facebook.com/events/1182301225224494/ [20:18] [Owlhawk] I'm Canadian...it takes me 4 or 5 hours to get to the American border.... [20:19] [Owlhawk] I should think you would be able to post about ride sharing on the event page [20:21] Thank you, much help ;) [20:21] [Owlhawk] no problem, it's what we're here for. We also do DP questions! [20:23] and rituals questions [20:23] And how to take over the world [20:24] Ooo, any tips on that last one? [20:24] Well I'm working on the IP now :) [20:24] but yes, how should I take over the world :) [20:25] My question, is why would anyone want to? [20:26] I'm doing the IP too [20:27] oh, well its the villian start story [20:27] Con: stress. Pro: there are worse candidates for the job. [20:27] *** Drum (Mibbit@sorcery-iuh9eo.buckeyecom.net) has joined #ADF [20:27] you have a dream and want to save the world [20:27] Hello! [20:27] and then power corrupts, but it always starts with helping the earth and saving the world [20:27] Welcome Drum [20:28] [Owlhawk] here's the event page for wellsprings. https://www.facebook.com/events/1182301225224494/ [20:28] [Owlhawk] hello drum [20:32] So what other questions do we have? [20:35] not much beyond the usual for me [20:35] I am curious what sort of oracles everyone used though [20:36] I started out with Tarot. Have used runes, Ninefold Oracle, and weather [20:37] I almost exclusively use Ogham, personally [20:38] Hi again! [20:38] I use ogham and some open systems [20:40] I have used ogham for a long time and I like it [20:40] I recently used a piece of wood to derive the omen [20:40] I started with tarot but I am moving more and more into ogham [20:41] I have several books on it. Plan on starting to study it sometime [20:41] Cool, Drum. [20:42] how did that work Drum? [20:42] People who don't undertand that type of divination often don't respect it. [20:42] I cleared my mind and "felt" the wood [20:43] Rovena, out of curiosity which ogham books do you have? [20:43] I felt the textures - the wood was rough cut - and followed my first imporessions [20:46] I have Celtic Tree Mysteries: Practical Druid Magic & Divination by Blamires, Stephen and [20:46] Ogham: The Secret Language of the Druids Ellison, Robert [20:47] All good books, Rovena [20:48] I also have Colin and Liz Murray's book and Edred Thorsson's Ogham [20:48] I didn't know Thorsson did ogham. I associated hi, with runes. [20:48] I have some of those books too and the rest are in my wish list. I think I will explore that form of divination Drum, very intruiging [20:49] I'd also give a shoutout for Erynn Rowan Laurie's book on ogham, too. [20:51] I see I need some more books. [20:52] Careful, once you start down the path of getting into ogham books, you may find yourself with quite a collection [20:52] Thorsson is best known for Futhark but his Ogham book is good! [20:52] True, JoshB [20:52] (Not that I'm speaking from personal experience or anything like that ;) ) [20:53] [Owlhawk] j [20:53] hey I already have a small library [20:53] so what's more books [20:53] I have quite a collection already. [20:53] [Owlhawk] Thorsson on runes, is nowhere near as good as Diana Paxson is. [20:54] [Owlhawk] Her's is the best rune book I've eber 3 [20:54] [Owlhawk] ever read [20:55] [Owlhawk] for Hellenic Alphabet Oracle, the best resources for that are listed on the Hellenic Kin's ADF page. [20:55] Diana's book is much more accessible and complete [20:56] [Owlhawk] and much broader. she covers ideas and opinions that she doesn't always agree with. [20:56] my friend gifted me about ten rune books for yule, maybe I'll hint the ogham for next time [20:56] [Owlhawk] lol [20:57] [Owlhawk] I work with the Hellenic Alphabet Oracle....We're at the first stage of creating resources for it, let alone books.... [20:58] I like the way your friends think [20:58] well he wanted me to make my own opinion on the runes, and at the time I only had the dreadful blum book [20:58] [Owlhawk] there is no such thing as too many books! [20:58] [Owlhawk] OUCH!!! [21:01] all better now ;) [21:02] [Owlhawk] just as an fyi, I've given away more then 1000 books in the last two or three years....and I'm still over 4000 books hiding in my home. [21:04] hey that's the best sort of hording [21:04] never know when you'll need that sort of knowledge [21:04] I have about a thousand [21:04] [Owlhawk] hording????what is this hording you speak of? [21:04] and as much as I want more I have to start limiting because we are Navy and I can't move all of them with me [21:04] [Owlhawk] it's a collection! [21:05] dragon hording, the good kind [21:06] [Owlhawk] My Great Aunt's father in law as in publishing....I inheirted his collection of first edtion, signed books. Most well known is likely one bye Victoria Cross winner Billy Bishop [21:06] But I think I need to sign off for the evening. Work tomorrow and all that. Good night everyone! [21:06] [Owlhawk] good night [21:06] Til next time Josh [21:06] oh now I'm jelly [21:06] night josh, nice chatting for a bit [21:07] *** JoshB (JoshB@sorcery-1e3.66o.131.38.IP) has quit IRC [Quit: Leaving] [21:07] See ya, Josh [21:09] [Owlhawk] so maurilee, I shouldn't mention that I have a complete works of Shakespeare that dates to at least the 1800's? [21:10] *** Elthadrail (Mibbit@sorcery-51kj6a.nm.comcast.net) has joined #ADF [21:11] Hello Elthadrail [21:11] How are you tonight? [21:11] I'm good. and you? [21:12] oh, I might surprise you [21:12] Doing well. [21:12] but I'm not much of a shakespeare fan [21:12] would still save it from a fire, and respect it [21:12] but I never understood the hype [21:12] I do like a midsummer's nights dream [21:13] welcome elthadrail, we are talking about books [21:13] ah [21:13] Probably my favorite vice. [21:14] Started on different books about divination and moved to books in general. [21:14] To Shakespeare... [21:14] I love Shakespeare and debating it [21:14] I'm working on reading a book of pagan prayer [21:14] though there is a list of ten others on my pile [21:14] and at least a hundred to read soon [21:15] Going to be bad weather tomorrow so I plan to spend it reading. [21:15] Same here... and the list keeps growing. [21:17] I wish I could read all day all the time, but got to work [21:17] I'm trying to read one now on the history of indigenous peoples in the US. [21:18] It is somewhat disheartening. [21:19] its heartbreaking and bloody, and they are still powerful [21:19] I admire them, and feel guilt over the past [21:19] I did two years of college study on the Lakota culture [21:19] it is so complicated... goes back so far [21:20] and continues today... [21:21] it will get better if people like us care, its been better, but its been worse [21:21] True. [21:22] Rovena, what kind of divination set do you use for your rituals? [21:22] Hello, Elthadrail [21:23] Depends on who the seer is and the hearth culture. [21:23] Ilsa usually do tarot. I try to do something that is related to the hearth culture. [21:26] I hope to a series of classes for my grove on the different divination methods [21:26] That sounds like a good idea [21:27] The church has a new tv that I can do power point presentations with so that will help [21:28] that would be awesome! we've talked about tarot with my grove but I'd love one on the ogham [21:31] My laptop is so old that it doesn't have an HDMI port so I had to get an adapter. [21:31] I need to excuse myself. Thank you for letting me stop in, so to speak. Night all. [21:31] You are always welcome [21:31] *** Elthadrail (Mibbit@sorcery-51kj6a.nm.comcast.net) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [21:32] Maurilee, I will send the powerpoint to you - - once I create it. [21:36] A course I have to get started on my new column for the regional newsletter. My old column is about to run out of material. [21:37] awesome [21:39] You have a great regional newsletter [21:39] My new column is going to be on the Deities, one God/dess per issue. [21:39] We have good people who contribute to it. [21:40] More people are involved the better the issues. [21:41] :) [21:42] *** maurilee (Mibbit@sorcery-9u7of1.nj.comcast.net) has quit IRC [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] [21:46] I am proud that one of my grovemates has had two articles published so far in the newsletter. [21:46] I didn't mean to chase people away [21:46] I think that is great Rovena [21:46] They ought to submit them to Oak Leaves as well [21:47] People tend to drift away about this time. [21:47] How is Boogie doing? [21:47] I am hoping she will. [21:48] He is doing so so. His surgery went very well. I think his allergies are acting up on him [21:48] There are a LOT of allergy issues this year [21:48] His pine allergy landed him in the hospital once. [21:48] He needs to take it easy but he doesn't want to. [21:49] *** maurilee (Mibbit@sorcery-9u7of1.nj.comcast.net) has joined #ADF [21:49] Welcome back. [21:49] goodness, it took forever to let me log back in [21:50] I understand that. [21:50] I am not accustom to not getting bumped. Tonight has been a delight [21:51] happens to me at least once a chat [21:51] I was worried that the approaching storm would play havoc with me tonight but so far so good. [21:52] We have a storm coming in for tomorrow and another one for Saturday [21:52] WE are debating canceling ritual until next weekend [21:53] [Owlhawk] stay save rovena [21:53] We try. I have a rule that if a person can't get to grove and home again safely then they should not come. [21:54] I am as worried about the 21 mph winds as I am the rain (up to 3" in some places) [21:56] that's a good rule. [21:57] Neighbors thought we were crazy for keeping so many trees but they make a great wind block. [21:58] I live right on the edge of base housing where there are rows and rows of town houses. Where the wind tends to come from is the empty field though so we blow away. [21:58] I wish we had more trees. [21:59] We live out in the rural part of the parish so we get to do most anything we want. No real zoning out here. [22:01] We are only about 50 miles from an eagle sanctuary and occassionally get a visit from eagles [22:03] I love eagles [22:03] the rare times I see them are travel days [22:04] They are majestic. [22:07] :) [22:07] that they are [22:07] I love them [22:07] Sorry I am in and out. I am multitasking poorly [22:07] *** Rovena (rovena@sorcery-25ccev.direcpc.com) has quit IRC [Connection closed] [22:07] but I see crows the msot in my life [22:07] which is fitting since I work with the morrigan [22:08] *** Rovena (rovena@sorcery-25ccev.direcpc.com) has joined #ADF [22:08] and that's cool drum [22:08] I like crows as well [22:08] *** Mode change [+o Rovena] on #ADF by ChanServ [22:08] and I work with the Morrigu as well :) [22:08] I love crows. [22:08] Me too [22:09] Crows are messangers in several hearth cultures. [22:09] I speak to them and love them [22:09] I think they are assoicated with Odin as well [22:09] I have repurposed bone earrings from crows [22:09] oooo! [22:10] Coolness [22:11] Well, it was nice talking to you all - I have to run. Thanks for the great exchange on the omen :D [22:11] Until next time - night! [22:11] Night, Drum! [22:12] night!
