07:56 am - Passing Div2, and a review of my work for a change
 Wow. I got an e-mail about a week and a half ago from ![[info]](http://www.chronarchy.com/images/userinfo.gif) Ian Corrigan saying that my Divination 2 papers were "exemplary" . . . I admit, I had no such thoughts myself. I thought they would be somewhat average.
Among the comments he returned to me were these:
- I should write a booklet on runes based on my answers to Req 5
- A short article such as "Are the Runes a Magical Alphabet?" should be submitted to OL
- The creation of a bind-rune I did for one reading was, and I quote, "good cunning-work." This is an awesome phrase to me
- He and I go in completely opposite directions when it comes to public ritual, though: while you'll rarely hear me offer the names of runes, often giving only an interpretation, Ian only gives the name and translation and lets folks figure out the meanings on their own.
I thought his final comment was best, though, as when speaking about a rune reading that we did in public that had a major affect on ADF (that one truly cold Yule when the Grove was first founded; some of you may recall it), he said:
- Almost like there was something wyrd going on, innit?
Just. . . wow ;)
Over the last year or two, I've become a lot more in-depth with my reviewing, returning positive comments along with negative ones (should they be necessary) and trying to help the student flesh things out if they'd like to. It's nice to get a response like this one, because it helps to verify that the system I've been developing is something worth doing.
I don't really feel that I can just say, "Oh, you passed." I find it important to highlight certain parts of the piece that I really liked, and discuss what I liked about them. By the same token, we can't just say, "Oh, you didn't pass. Re-write it." If something doesn't pass, I always explain why, and offer suggestions for passage if I can.
This sort of reviewing takes a lot more time, though, and sometimes it's downright hard: I've occasionally come across something so bad that I didn't know what to do with it and had to struggle to find some positives to return. Rare as that is (it's probably happened twice in the past several years), I've believed it important enough to ensure that I've done all I can to make it happen.
Attempting to do this little thing is part of what I do to make ADF a bit brighter, and receiving a review back that's along those same lines makes me feel great about what I'm doing with reviews.

06:00 pm - The Dedicant Path Through the Wheel of the Year has been updated!
 A new edition of The Dedicant Path Through the Wheel of the Year (often known simply as "WotY") is now available. Resources have been added, some sections have been expanded, typos have been found and fixed, and submission information has been updated.
For those looking to finish the requirements for the DP documentation, this book will walk you through all eleven requirements in a 52-week period, offering homework, resources and reading for every requirement, and explanations and breakdowns of the requirements to help you understand exactly what the exit standard is asking.
Hard copies are available for $12 on my CafePress store, and they come wire-bound so that they lay flat for easier working. Buy it here:
http://www.cafepress.com/chronarchy.35511346
The book is *still* free for download from the ADF site, too! You can find it among other supplemental publications here:
http://www.adf.org/members/training/dp/publications/index.html
[The .pdf file at the above address is also now full of live links: no more copy/paste from the document! Just "click and go!"]
Thanks to all those who have offered feedback, encouragement, and support on this book over the years, and a *huge* thank you to all the Dedicants who have taught me so much over the time I've been in ADF!
(This isn't the only book announcement you'll see from me this week. . . Watch our Grove site, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif) 3cg_blog, ADF-Announce, and Oak Leaves for the next announcement!)

03:27 pm - Groovin' down the Path
Today's Jimmy Buffett Oracle is pretty straightforward:
64. I'll put on my Bob Marley tape and practice what I preach. I happen to know exactly what that means.
This morning, I updated my Liturgy Practicum 1 journal for what I hope is the final time (*fingers crossed*). . . there's a space for a final essay, but it's not required, and I'd like more time to reflect on the journal before I actually do it: it's only been about 5 months since I finished the course, and I'm very happy with how it worked out, but I want more "space" before I start trying to analyze and distill the lessons.
At lunch today, I found myself wondering about two questions in particular:
- Is there some code among girls that, if a guy makes you a mixed CD or mixed tape, he's "totally into you"?
- Why do I have no Patsy Cline in my entire music collection? How has it taken me this long to notice?
I also re-started my re-working of my Dedicant work today at lunch, and I began with the eight High Days. I expect to retain my old, original work on my website, but I will make a very clear demarcation between the "good stuff" and the "original crappy stuff".
So far, I'm finished with Imbolc and Autumnal Equinox. A key change I've made to the format of my previous submissions of High Days is to use the actual ADF terminology for the "Eight ADF High Days" (see Article 4 of the ADF Constitution). Well, close to it, as I numbered the "crossquarters" as "first crossquarter" and such, and also indicated the season the astronomical phenomenon fell in like "winter solstice". And I included both the "modern Neo-Pagan name" for each and the "Gaulish name" (from Ariotanos Iuranantantios' work).
I'm really enjoying the mental exercise of going back to the basics here. I've said, time and again, that anyone can gain from walking the Dedicant Path. I've been a major influence on lots of DP's in the past four years, and I'm finding a lot of worth in going back to re-do it.
And for all those Dedicants who have the habit of telling me that I'm somehow inspiring, I'd like to point out that it's your work that inspired me to go back and re-work my own DP. And I mean that.

01:41 pm - Piety on the pilgrimage
"A mountain temple, Senyuji stands out for having had its main image carved by a woman. The figure of the thousand-armed Kannon was carved in the seventh century by a young woman, who is supposed to have prostrated herself after every cut of the knife. Several of the temples where the main image was carved by the Daishi also claim this kind of reverence during the making of the image. The next level of holiness in carving requires prostrating and reciting a prayer before each cut, as well as the post-cut recitation."
-Temple 58, Senyuji1 This particular quote is one I stumbled across while bringing ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) mazisexton a copy of the book it's found in. There's something about this sort of action that speaks to me deeply.
The Shikoku pilgrimage interests me quite a bit: architecturally, spiritually, and academically. To say nothing of the fact that I promised mazisexton that I'd make it happen sometime with her.
But today, I ran across the paper I'd written that quote down on, and I remembered how much I just wanted to share it, to mention it, particularly to ADF Dedicants working on their understanding of piety. And I remembered how good that felt. And I certainly remembered the fact that that's really all I want to do on so many days. And that felt good to remember.

09:51 am - Reading through the DP
 According to my spam this morning, no one can tell that I'm bananas.
But that's not important. What is important is this:
Last night a number of people posted ADF Dedicant Program-related entries: journal entries, book reviews, a DP Oath, lots of Virtues, and some meditation work.
I would just like to say one thing: You, the Dedicants of ADF, make me proud. Very proud.
What gets to me most is the depth that our newest students can plumb with their essays and oaths. I know that my DP work is, well, rather juvenile and even petulant in some places. Okay, in most places. It is not good example work.
Every time I read the work posted to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) dedicants, adf, or to the various personal journals that populate LJ and a few other sites, I am amazed at the entries.
I no longer read a lot of final DP submissions. To some extent, it's a time thing. To a greater extent, though, it's that I've gotten so darn close to a lot of DP's that I simply can't review them objectively. I read at least one DP-related post per day, probably averaging closer to five, and I try and comment on all of them.
Sometimes, It's really hard to offer a suggestion about how to improve the essay: a lot of times, there's no improvement needed. I feel a bit sheepish just posting, "Good essay," but sometimes, the essay is at least as good as I could have written it, and usually it's better. I'm not joking when I talk about how much I learn from the Dedicants of ADF: every one of them teaches me something new (some teach me lots of new things).
I was recently having a discussion with another ADF member about where ADF has been and where it's going in the future. In that discussion, I noted that I feel ADF is very much on the right track: our focus on spirituality is deepening and the focus on administrative stuff is lessening. Over the past year, in particular, I have seen the spiritual focus of ADF flourish, and it excites me to watch that, to be a part of that.
Sometimes I wonder if folks get bored or annoyed with my posts about how much I really enjoy DP-realted stuff, or even ADF in general. Then I remember that I prefer to use my journal to share my joys, and that this is one of the main ones in my life.
[about the picture with this entry: I wanted a pic to go along with this entry, and this is the first picture that shows up on a Google Image Search for "Dedicant Program". In the picutre, druidkirk and Gannd, two of our Clergy, are disposing of SSG's offerings in a lake. Click on it to enlarge. And giggle.]

02:03 pm - Thinking about where to go from here, web-wise
I've been looking over Chronarchy.Com's backend specs. The site sits at about 275 MB in size, out of a possible 400 MB. My virtual "rent" is fairly cheap (which is good: I could never afford more), but I'm thinking about what I'd like to do with the site, and it *does* just keep growing.
So as I look at it, I start to size it up. There's ever the option of adding wiki. . . A fun tool that ADF members will know well (as will users of that silly depository of "knowledge," Wikipedia), but it doesn't seem to serve my needs. There are mailing lists and polls and things like that which could really enhance the "experience" of Chronarchy.Com, but they're not so much useful as "cool."
I could create a "members only" section, but that bothers me on a lot of levels: I'm one of those rare people who really likes the transparency that the Internet provides, the openness it promotes and the weird quirks of oh-shit-I-shouldn't-have-posted-that moments that we all have. They make life interesting, at the very least. Only one directory on my pages is password protected, and all it's got are four images.
I can create a nifty chat function (I did this on the Three Cranes site, but more as a fun thing to play with than an actual tool), but I don't have the time to staff it or really participate in it to any extent.
I could add a blog, but between MySpace, Facebook, and LiveJournal, I am totally blogged out. Enough that my webpage, which I always wanted to keep primary, is wasting away for lack of new content (don't tell me you haven't noticed. . .)
I could sell stuff, but given the lackluster response my CafePress site gets (even with ADF-related material available on it being published at cost), I have a feeling that's a losing proposition. Besides, the CafePress site is linked off every page of the site, and in a year and a half, it's earned all of $6.02.
But what actually interested me was a little program called "Moodle". Moodle is a course management system that allows people to take courses on your website. It allows for virtual workshops, assignments, chat sessions, creation of resources, etc.
I look at it and I think that, hell, I could put the WotY up on that. I could set it up to assign things on a regular basis, create due dates, quiz people over the material, and seriously upgrade and reorganize the resources available. And I could also create something like that for the various GSP courses, or clergy training. And honestly, I'm a little excited.
The central problem with it is the installation size. It's nearly 50 MB, and that'll put me dangerously close to the edge, given my current usage and the rate the site has grown at: about 68 MB/year on average.
With additional size, there's additional cost. So now I'm thinking: is it worth the upgrade cost? How can I make the additional virtual "rent?" Would anyone use it? How much backend work is needed: can it run itself? Is it fair to offer the course for cash (the idea makes me somewhat uncomfortable), or should I just check ADF membership and make it a free-for-all romp if I decide to do it?
Yes, these are things I wonder about during sunny lunch hours in winter.

12:57 pm
I've been playing with an idea that sleepingwolf gave me: Visual Liturgy.
It's a program (with several sister programs) developed by the Anglican Communion for liturgical work. Basically, you start with the basic Order of Services, and then you kinda pick your sermons, bible readings, prayers, hymns. . . everything.
I imagine that extensive use of such a program, even though the number of options are huge probably have a seriously detremental affect on the individual creativity of Anglican priests (there's suddenly no need to write your own, or spend a lot of time on liturgy), but I see that there's a use for it within the Pagan community. So I'm exploring options to make my own version.
It's a bit more complicated, though, when you have . . . essentially an infinite number of deities to find prayers for. :)
On Thrusday, the Three Cranes site went down. Hard. There was a real messup with my credit card, where for some reason my billing address was listed as "69 W. Weber Rd., Columbus, AL". Everything got cleared up, though, and the site no longer points to "find information on jib cranes, crane rental, construction cranes, grove cranes." Thank the gods. :)
On Thursday night, I found myself wide-awake when I got fully prepared for bed, so I got up and started in on the Liturgist Guild Study Program. There are only four classes I'd have to do (in addition to the GSP which I just finished, but haven't heard back on yet), and two of them (apparently?) count toward the second circle of the Clergy Training Program, so I figured, "Eh, what the hell?"
I wrote up everything for Liturgy Practicum 1: Domestic Cult Practice in ADF that didn't require the 4-month wait that night, and got a start on Liturgical Writing 1. The next morning (yesterday), I wrote hekatatia and asked to enroll in the LGSP.
Then, at lunch, while looking through the requirements for the program (again), I notcied that there's a requirement in the "bardic" portion of the program that requires the writing of two poems, at which point I realized that we need another voice to the Grove poem, which we update every year for Autumnal Equinox.
And I also thought about something I could do for a praise offering that ritual.
I'm moving back to seeking excellence in personal ritual, something that I haven't really thought of in a while. Not since Yule 2004, at least, when I wrote a solitary Yule rite because I had to miss Saturnalia. I have mentioned that I really want to re-do my Dedicant Program, too. I've told a lot of people who wanted to "test out" of the DP and various requirements that everyone has something to learn from going "back to basics", and I've always believed it.
Now, it's time to prove it.
Last night, I had a dream that tesinth and I were wandering through the Generations Religious Supply Store, collecting items for our own religious organization. In my dream, they had really great items for sheep sacrifice (like, big troughs to move the blood to a drain, a little table for examining the liver, and such like). If they have those in reality, then they must have a back room somewhere, because I didn't see any when I was there. . .
Today, I need to give perlgirlju a call and let her know when I'm free so that we can watch bad vampire movies.
But first, a shower is absolutely necessary.

11:58 am - More on the GSP and DP
This morning's Buffett Oracle seems pretty straightforward:
145. You've got to take a chance, you got to let somebody move you. Sometimes, the best advice, though late in coming, is the obvious advice :)
Last night, I outlined a book to write, but as I look at it, I realize I probably already wrote it at some point or another, so it's off to build another Dedicant Requirement Packet, I think. Meditation is next on the list of things to write about, there.
I mentioned in a comment that I want to go back and re-work the DP. I'm seriously thinking about actually re-doing the entire thing, including the meditation bit. I think that, if I re-did the DP at this point, I'd not only write (much) better essays, but I'd also get a lot more out of it.
I'm really liking the idea of approaching the meditation bit again. I'll probably hate myself for that somewhere around week 3, but hey, gotta do what you gotta do, you know?
Hey, now that my GSP is sitting around pending someone else's action for a change: What can I do for you folks working on your DP's?

10:57 am - As the Wheel of the Year turns. . .
I hit a sudden writer's block last night. I was doing so well, too: I'd finally managed to crack the main problem with the DP Through the Wheel of the Year book that I wrote: the fact that I managed to fit nine freakin' High Days into one year.
I mean, I'm a magician, sure, and a Chaote to boot, but who can fit nine High Days into a single year?
But I wrote out the entire schedule in dates, and I think I managed to set it so that the High Day rites are at least somewhat more correctly spaced, and there are now only 8 of them.
Of course, with the removal of two lessons (each High Day includes two lessons: one on the High Day and traditions associated with it and the other about the ritual recap), I now have two weeks left to make up lessons for: the last two weeks.
One of those weeks was easy: it's basically just a list of items that need to be included, to ensure that the Dedicant has everything. It includes where to send it, what to expect when you send it, etc. I should have included that before.
The other one is more difficult. It's about reviewing what you learned and creating an idea of where you want to go from there. It's designed to show that the DP isn't an end, but a beginning (which I firmly believe it is). So I'm trying to work up some things about that, but that's where the writer's block comes in.
I've got two sentences on that lesson. If anyone wants to help on this topic, though, I have some very specific ideas of how you can. I just need to think about it more, I think.
For those using the current draft, I doubt anything has changed up to the point you're currently at. The first change was at week 15, and it was just a re-ordering of dates. The biggest changes are at the very end, where things started to get massively shuffled around.
A full list of changes is available to ADF members on the ADF Wiki, at MJDProjects, if you're interested to see what the difference in editions will be. It's toward the bottom.
But I'm using the DP book to take my mind off other things, and it's helping a bit. Hopefully, version two can be out shortly.

03:28 pm - So much going on, so little time to do it in. . .
Last night, out with tesinth and singingwren, I managed to get my first reasonable meal in weeks. Even when my parents were in town, I avoided eating my fill. . . They don't need to know just how hungry I've been recently. It's something that will, I know, pass, as things do. And tesinth knows why I couldn't get my fill of steak fries at Red Robin.
I realized recently that part of the problem is this damned calorie-reduction kick that the world is on. How on earth do people who need high calorie diets manage in this world? And if the calories are high enough, the sodium is through the roof, and I watch that most closely in my food intake. I'm hovering around 1,000-1,500 calories short (depending on the day) of what I want and need to be eating, I think. Cutting out fast food in the interest of saving money has highly affected that, and I'm steadily losing the ground I made up after being sick, in terms of weight.
I've got a book nearly finished for the Dedicants. Those who have seen it seem to like it, and I expect to finish it this weekend (along with two or three Oak Leaves submissions) and then move directly onto another (this time non-ADF) project while waiting until the next weekend to start on another ADF project.
This morning, though, I was plesantly surprised to find myself with a hot new LJ friend, so life is looking up.
Full stomach, a book nearly finished, and women. . . life is good.

08:48 am - A set of goals and some organization
Last night before I left work, I got some things thrown together in a list. Actually a couple of lists I've had on my plate for a while, but haven't really put them together.
The first is a set of goals and projects:
http://www.adf.org/cgi-bin/adf/wiki/view/Main/MJDProjects
The second is a specific set of goals for my current project, temporarily titled "Dedicant Requirement Packets":
http://www.adf.org/cgi-bin/adf/wiki/view/Main/DedicantRequirementPackets
Only ADF members are going to be able to see those pages, but basically the first one includes a list of articles for OL that I'm writing, a list of things to fix in the DP Wheel of the Year document, and a couple of things I need to do for the Grove are listed.
The second page includes my basic idea for the packets I'm thinking about. I'm still working on this second one in particular, and will probably sub-divide it into 11 further pages (one for each requirement in the DP).
As things slowly taper off here at work (and believe me, the idea that it's "tapering off" at all is kinda funny, given the guy I just had to deal with), I'll have some more time to think about these things. More to the point, once I go off the clock, I'll want to think about things again when I'm off the clock.
It'd be nice to daydream about women again.
Speaking of women, the brightest spot of my day yesterday was at lunch, when I just happened to see perlgirlju wandering by. It made my day. Inexplicable, but then, my best moods usually are. So thanks to perlgirlju.

06:33 pm - Sometimes, you can't complain. You can just smile and laugh.
Life is good. Presentation is nearly done. And I have a date for Friday.
I'm amused at the responses to the DP thing I wrote. So far, one person has declared that they love me, several have told me that this is just what they wanted, and I think I managed to imply that I thought that ADF-Publishing wasn't doing their job (which is totally not the case, and I'm sorry that happened).
I admit that the most confusing of those things is that this is exactly what they wanted. . . We haven't even seen if the whole thing has been helpful to mistw02, _crow365__, and singingwren. Give me praises when we're sure it works, kids :)

I'm hoping to have it done by tonight. Then I get to go check and find out why I have nine High Days in one year and figure out what else is screwy. I'm down to the final 5 weeks.
It'll be discussed at Wellspring, I think.
Special thanks to the Dedicants of ADF. If I've posted something in your LJ about a DP entry, I probably mentioned a pointer I gave you in this program. And special thanks, also, to those who commented when I originally talked about this on LJ.

03:32 pm - Workin', workin', workin'. . .
I'm currently going through and trying to work up a Dedicant Program mentorship program, sort of something for mentors to send out to their students. I'm adding some more information to the DP, what it's about, etc.
In searching for resources, I've been very disappointed, though. I've been scouring through the print copies of Oak Leaves that I have (the earliest issue I have is #17), and I just realized that until recently, we weren't at all helping Dedicants get through their DPs. The first issue that had anything of real use in it was issue #24, which has tlachtga's discussion of Urban Druidism (for which I'm very greatful at this point).
There's obviously a reason we weren't having loads of people complete the DP. Our publications simply weren't supporting it.
On the bright side, there are lots of articles relating to the DP in upcoming issues, it seems. Here's hoping that, as time goes on, they'll get better, and encourage people to actually finish their DP's. Numbers are climbing, but not fast enough for my liking. :)

10:10 am - Yule 2004 rite!
Added a new ritual to my website.
Because I was unable to celebrate with my Grove for the first time in two years, I got to try my hand at writing a solitary ritual for my own use. It was a nice change. And, on top of that, I really like the way it came out.
So, if you're in need of a ritual (slackers), there's one available.
http://www.chronarchy.com/rituals/yule04.html
ADF standard format, of course, because if I'm going to share something, it might as well be something that will count toward the DP :)
I'm particularly proud of my Outdwellers invocation. Just keep in mind that it was written under about a foot of ice and snow during the holiday season.
Also, something that is a bit daunting is the length of the patron invocation. It just kept growing. . . I couldn't stop it :)
