Do you have something you want to talk about? 16[2019-05-07 20:20:07]  Well, I haven’t really focused on my dedicant studies yet, because I am focused on learning Illustration/Drawing at this time. Although, I do have a few books on paganism already. I figure get my drawing skills up first that way I can draw what ever comes to mind when I am ready to start my pagan/dedicant study 16[2019-05-07 20:20:55] <@Rovena> Sounds like a good plan to me. 18[2019-05-07 20:21:31] <@Rovena> Owlhawk and I have both competed the DP already so if you ever have a question about the DP, this is a good place to ask it. 16[2019-05-07 20:21:50]  I am currently going through a course on Udemy.com on figure drawing and it is the best course I found that I can follow along with, especially with me being a former electronics technician. 16[2019-05-07 20:22:04]  ok 16[2019-05-07 20:23:28]  I am primarily using amazon.com for books, what do you do if you can’t find an exact title in the required reading list? 16[2019-05-07 20:23:29] <@Rovena> Do you have a hearth culture that you are following? 16[2019-05-07 20:23:47]  Not particularly, at least not yet 16[2019-05-07 20:23:58]  I am more of an eclectic 16[2019-05-07 20:24:30] <@Rovena> The ones listed are the only approved ones. You can often get them through library loan if you can't find them at Amazon. 16[2019-05-07 20:25:10] <@Rovena> It is possible to get an alternative book approved but it is a bit complicated to do. 16[2019-05-07 20:25:34]  Amazon.com hasn’t failed me yet. 16[2019-05-07 20:26:25] <@Rovena> I use Amazon a lot. Bible Belt country isn't the best place to find books. 16[2019-05-07 20:27:48]  I wrote down my book picks from the approved reading list and made sure I could get them from Amazon. Not always a fan of the bible belt. Some Christians are very well balanced, but some tend to be too pushy or disrespectful if they aren’t careful. 16[2019-05-07 20:28:45] <@Rovena> A local public school disctrict is under Federal supervision for its pro-Christian activities 16[2019-05-07 20:29:37]  That doesn’t sound good, I have seen religion used for negative purposes. I don’t like it when it is abused for such purposes. 16[2019-05-07 20:30:39] <@Rovena> Most of the pagan community here is so far in the closet that we don't know who we all are. 16[2019-05-07 20:32:04] <@Rovena> Our grove is the only one holding public ritual. 16[2019-05-07 20:32:17]  I chose paganism because of its more balanced views and connection to nature. In the closet? That is not healthy at all. If you come to las vegas for a short trip, there is definitely an active pagan community. Solitaries and Groups. Including annual pagan pride. We are a lot more open over here where I am 16[2019-05-07 20:32:30]  The only one? 16[2019-05-07 20:33:51] <@Rovena> Yes. 16[2019-05-07 20:34:49]  Sounds very rough where you are at. My mother has taught me about the book titled “The Witches Hammer”. Very dark and very unfortunate. 27[2019-05-07 20:35:23] * StarQuake (Sol@sorcery-0jrli3.at.cox.net) has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 121 seconds) 21[2019-05-07 20:35:41] <@Owlhawk> Malleus Malerficum is not a book to study 16[2019-05-07 20:35:58]  I only know of it. I don’t own a copy 25[2019-05-07 20:35:58] * StarQuake (Sol@sorcery-0jrli3.at.cox.net) joins #adf 16[2019-05-07 20:36:06]  Don’t plan to either. 21[2019-05-07 20:36:24] <@Owlhawk> It's from the 1300's. not something to study. 16[2019-05-07 20:36:34] <@Rovena> WB StarQuake 18[2019-05-07 20:36:41]  I got the point Owlhawk 16[2019-05-07 20:37:00]  Ty Rovena 16[2019-05-07 20:37:40]  I will be right back, checking to make sure dinner has thawed out enough. 16[2019-05-07 20:37:58] <@Rovena> How is Khan doing? 21[2019-05-07 20:38:26] <@Owlhawk> excellent. he's currently sleeping under the sheet that covers the chair 16[2019-05-07 20:39:11] <@Rovena> Good to hear. How is Blondie doing? 21[2019-05-07 20:39:26] <@Owlhawk> Ouchie, but otherwise good 16[2019-05-07 20:40:15] <@Rovena> Excellent 16[2019-05-07 20:42:26]  How late does this chat go each tuesday? 21[2019-05-07 20:42:54] <@Owlhawk> varies from week to week 16[2019-05-07 20:43:06] <@Rovena> As long as people feel like talking 16[2019-05-07 20:46:31]  Okay. I wil focus on one hour each week. If I have any questions during the week, I will bring them here. 16[2019-05-07 20:47:27] <@Rovena> Excellent. We love discussing questions. Ask 3 Druids a question and you will get at least 9 answers 16[2019-05-07 20:48:04]  do you really enjoy the number three or is that a coincidence? 16[2019-05-07 20:49:42] <@Rovena> 3 is an important number in Celtic culture. 16[2019-05-07 20:50:05]  How important? 16[2019-05-07 20:50:49] <@Rovena> Even Nature likes the number 3. A three legged stool never wobbles. (3 points makes a plane) 16[2019-05-07 20:51:14] <@Rovena> That depends on who you ask. 16[2019-05-07 20:51:18]  Nature also enjoys the fibonacci sequence. Watch how plants grow. 27[2019-05-07 20:51:26] * @Rovena (rovena@sorcery-4aaho8.hnremote.net) has quit IRC (Connection closed) 25[2019-05-07 20:51:32] * Rovena (rovena@sorcery-4aaho8.hnremote.net) joins #adf 29[2019-05-07 20:51:39] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Rovena 16[2019-05-07 20:52:07] <@Rovena> I get bumped a lot as I do not have a stable internet connection. 16[2019-05-07 20:52:29]  That can be problematic. 16[2019-05-07 20:52:45] <@Rovena> I am on a Satelite. 16[2019-05-07 20:52:56]  WB Rovena 16[2019-05-07 20:53:19] <@Rovena> TY 16[2019-05-07 20:53:28]  Satelite? Yikes. then again everything is bound to be connected to a satelite at some point. 16[2019-05-07 20:53:30] <@Rovena> All part of living in the country 16[2019-05-07 20:54:37]  I am going to sign off for the night and eat dinner. Then get back to drawing, i am starting with figure drawing. 16[2019-05-07 20:55:03] <@Rovena> HAve fun and see you next week. 26[2019-05-07 20:55:11] * jonathanallen (jonathanall@sorcery-6dpb90.lv.cox.net) parts #adf 16[2019-05-07 21:05:57] <@Rovena> Well, I spent 4 hours weeding out the bottom drawer at the U U church today. Just 7 more file drawers to go. Goal: 1 drawer a week. I am tired. I will bid y'all a good night. 27[2019-05-07 21:06:15] * @Rovena (rovena@sorcery-4aaho8.hnremote.net) has quit IRC (Quit: ) 27[2019-05-07 21:08:52] * StarQuake (Sol@sorcery-0jrli3.at.cox.net) has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
