[20:19] Hello Mouse [20:19] Glad you got some rain [20:19] Lawns all over the city certainly are! :) [20:19] We are under a burn ban [20:20] The birds love our lawn sprinkler.

[20:25] None of them are afraid of our cats or Sammie [20:26] It’s their yard now lol [20:27] I am happy to share. [20:28] If only they could do yard work [20:29] Hubby prefers to do it himself. [20:30] We never cut an area that is folwering until the flowers die off [20:30] One area in the back is never touched as that is the deal we made before moving in.

Oops. [20:35] You are not alone either in that problem or using that solution [20:36] What, being unable to use IRC on mobile? [20:36] Several people have complained about their mobile app [20:36] With some servers it's possible, just not SorceryNET.

I only just started using the thing that allowed me to use one client to log into a bunch of different services. [20:41] Cool. Technology is ever changing [20:45] It is [20:51] 3D printers are amazing. They are testing the printing of organs for transplanting [20:51] It's really handy! I'm sure SorceryNET will get added eventually once they realize people are still on here. [20:52] THat would be helpful to many [20:53] 3D printed organs? Yes! Especially if they use the host's base material. If they could do that I can think of a couple organs I'd happily replace immediately. [20:54] [Owlhawk] that's a bit shocking to hear\ [20:56] By using the person's own cells they should be avoid using rejection drugs. Much easier on the body [20:56] Yeah. That's what I'm hoping for. [20:57] People maybe won't have to be immunocompromised their whole lives. [20:58] It would eliminate the black market for body parts as well [20:58] Assuming we fix the problem with health care training and facility access before then, yeah. It really would.

Whatever is on people's minds [20:03] Enjoyibg cooler temps here [20:04] well i am super new to ADF. [20:04] then an extra welcome to you then. [20:05] If you have any questions, we are here to help or to confuse [20:05] or just confuse till you find it helpful [20:06] I'm kind of new as well, and I do have a question. How did you get to your first ritual? I'm solitary and kind of isolated and having some difficulty setting up and doing my first ritual [20:06] Thank you. I have down loaded all the material and have read through it. Now i am trying to work threw the Dedicant Path. [20:07] The beauty of Druidity is that you don't actually have to go anyware. it is right there with you. [20:07] Amccoy, there are rituals on the website that you can use. [20:07] Your first ritual can be as simlpe as you want it to be [20:07] COoR only applies to public rituals [20:07] or as theatrical as you can conceve. [20:07] I have been a Solitary Pagan most of my life. I live in the middle of no where. So i have created my own. but i know in the materials there are sample rituals. [20:08] I think my issue is more a nerves kind of thing [20:08] Thats totaly valid, both of you. [20:09] My advice is relax and enjoy it. [20:09] presonally I think you should make your practice your own. at every level. but I know I felt complealy rediculous the first time I light a fire and said "magic words" [20:10] Amccoy dont be. the universe and those that help and guide you will know your heart [20:10] now I lead High Days for my extended family, and I still feal silly most of the time. [20:11] Over time, things get easier and more natural [20:11] Thanks. The support is helpful. [20:11] Remember, the Kindreds enjoy a good laugh and they have had it at my expense before [20:11] It's ok to be awkward. its like meeting somone in a forign country. you may not be fluent in the language but he effort is more the apprecated. Do your best, be honest in your heart and the Shining Ones will answer. [20:11] :) [20:13] The Kindreeds have an amzing sense of humor, expecially when you arn't expecting it. [20:13] Thanks again. [20:13] Is anyone reading anything interesting? [20:13] Mind the Fae, they are convinced they are terrably funny. [20:15] i have read two different books that were both mysteries and paranormal. they were pretty good. [20:15] I'm just starting to read Paxton's Tranceportation. [20:16] is it any good? [20:17] I have swarn my next read will not be a technical publication. so far I am a blstering dissapointment. [20:17] I think so. It is required reading [20:18] Well to me any reading or study is wonderful. You keep your brain young by reading, thinking, study, and discussion. [20:18] Agreed [20:18] Agreed. [20:19] [Owlhawk] my to be read pile is about two feet high\ [20:20] I try to track on goodreads, and I'm pretty sure I have more books in my TBR pile than I'll ever be able to finish [20:20] i hear you there. i have two shelves in my book case that is at least 2 deep LOL [20:21] I have that, and I always plan for my next read to be off the shelf, then I walk in the house with 5 library books [20:22] LOL right. i live like 5 blocks from our local library and one of the librainas said i should just move into the basement. [20:23] And did you consider that an offer worth accepting? [20:23] I am a huge fan of ebooks. the ability to carry a libaray in my poket is amazing. and there are so many titles available for free. not that I'll ever read them all. but Damit I have them. [20:23] I love the idea but my hubby and my son said no LOL it has always been a dream to live in a library [20:23] I like my ereader too. It's especially useful to have a backlight during early morning commutes. [20:24] I am old school. I like the feel of a book in my hand [20:26] i have both, but some books i need to own physical copies. most of my pagan/wicca/witchcraft books are physical copies [20:27] I'm starting to prefer nonfiction books on my ereader mainly because of the popularity of end-notes. The links are so much nicer than flipping back and forth [20:28] there are also titles that you will just never get a paper copy of. Archaic texts, banned books, obsucure translations. so much of this is only availabl in epub or pdf [20:29] oh for sure. i had a college book like that. it was wonderful i could click the links and there they will pop up. yeah i have seen the price of some of the books i want in paper back even are going as high as 50.

Prevents the machine from picking the wrong word for you [20:35] LOL do i want to know what word it tried to pick for you? [20:35] Nothing bad just made me look stupid. [20:37] My phone thinks i love duck ;) [20:37] Also, save your work in multiple places. There are horror stories of people being 3/4 of the way done and had a computer died with all their work [20:37] interspersing wrokding from sevral languages confuses the shit out of autcorect. [20:38] Very true [20:38] I opt for things like google docs, dropbox, etc that auto save every few seconds and have revision history. [20:40] i use google docs as well open office. Its free but it has the features of word. but yeah i save on my comp, google and a thumb drive.

You should do that while you still can. [20:46] yeah for sure i dont want to lose those [20:50] so weird question would the volunteering that i do at our local DV shelter count if i need Compassionate membership? [20:51] You would need to talk to those in charge of that program. I have no idea of what they have in mind [20:52] ok thank you [20:52] Thank you all for chatting with me. i will make sure i come to the next chat as well.

[20:59] It goes in spells [21:00] fitting I supose [21:00] no pun was intended [21:01] so I'm about to go on vacation, first time in 12 years. [21:01] Cool. [21:01] Some place good, I hope [21:01] I'm going to the carribian, not my first time there. but it's more then a week on the beach, a limental space to be sure. [21:02] The Gods there are not ours, but in my experance any way, still very present. [21:02] I have never been there though it looks beautiful in the images I have seen [21:03] Very true. [21:03] Hope the weather is good for you. [21:04] We have our own gurdians of edge between the land and sea. how would you (greater YOU) bid welcome and seek freadship with "forgin" Gods? [21:05] I suspsect free resort mi-tai's are not an adquite sacarfice. [21:06] I would respect them and see if they want contact. [21:06] I would not presume to request a stay of rain, I know how important the storms are to their lands. biut in the intrest of hospitality.. [21:07] do Aztec Gods drink Wheskey? [21:08] Don't know. Mescal, maybe? [21:08] would it be presumptuous to ivente our Gods to follow us to forign lands? [21:08] [Owlhawk] whiskey is a irish invention [21:09] So Owl, does that rule it out or make it a cultural gift? [21:10] Hospitality can be so complex [21:10] [Owlhawk] the Aztec Gods are not IDE, so I don't know their rules of hospitality [21:12] [Owlhawk] ask the God you want to offer to [21:12] So thats the thing right, if someone from say East Asia visets my house, I will probably offer them coffee in the moring, I will have tea available but We drink coffee here and I want to share our tradtions. [21:13] I'm not sure I would know who to offer too in that region. [21:13] I would never be offended if a guest did not want to partake but I would feel remis in not offering. [21:14] [Owlhawk] Irellavant. offer to the gods. they will guide you in the improving ofyourofferingsin the future\ [21:15] [Owlhawk] you are not expected to beperfect [21:15] 10 days to work out a relationship, seams plunty of time. [21:15] I figure start with rum, everyone like rum. [21:16] but in all seriousness. when you don't have any research to go on, how do you start a conversaion with non coporal beings? [21:16] [Owlhawk] depends on the pantheon [21:17] [Owlhawk] hellenic, olive oil is a universal offering [21:17] [Owlhawk] do the research\] [21:17] well historially the Gods of the region were a bit more...impactful then olive oil. [21:18] [Owlhawk] do you know what I mean by hellenic ? [21:18] [Owlhawk] do you know what I mean by pantheon? [21:18] yes I do. Aztec's were a bit more bloody [21:18] [Owlhawk] then describe it for me please\ [21:19] *** Fulbert-Avebury (Mibbit@sorcery-2l6.ii9.59.108.IP) has joined #adf [21:19] Hello Fulbert [21:19] Hello everybody!!

[21:20] Understand that [21:20] Glad you could drop in [21:20] Been in the process of looking for work (between jobs right now) and find myself busier than ever. Ironic to the core. [21:20] Thats always the way. [21:21] I need to take some dedicated time to work on my DP work. I have been doing it here and there, though need to make some more consistent progress in it. [21:22] I REALLY appreciated the Lammas video that was shared by the ADF clergy. I think that video celebration was a fantastic service, a blessing, to those of us solitaries out there. [21:23] It is helpful to anyone wanting to learn more about doing rituals [21:25] I find it really engaging in how there are many ways of doing them, evidence in how the different tones and sense of presence and celebration were shared by all. [21:25] Very true.

[21:30] Rovena, I'd be screwed, keeping beat is not my strong point. [21:30] Fulbert, it was not ADF but another organization. [21:31] That is what I like about ADF is that you can make things your own [21:31] Music is not my grove's strong suit, either. [21:32] I like frame drums, but that is about the end of my music (outside of early music chants, of course!!). [21:32] We are using some of the songs on the ADF website as chants or poems. [21:35] I'd be amused to have a critic hear what our grove often does for energetic offerings. 'Cacophony' is an apt word. [21:36] Sometimes it becomes music, though. [21:37] Energetic is good [21:38] [Owlhawk] I know she won't see this, but I'd like to thank my niece for teachging me what it's like to have a teenage daughter at a major festival... I love you [21:38] Bet that was interesting [21:41] [Owlhawk] at 16 she is entering university....I love, and look up to, in a cer4taqin way, this young woman [21:42] I can understand that.
