Role Call

[Sage]

Seconded! How can we make this happen? (Seriously - fundraiser for TC, maybe? That'd be just so freaking cool!)

I would actually love to support TC with merch. Pagan snark ahoy!

Cafepress is pretty good. I've also heard good things about Zazzle.

I haven't had good luck with Zazzle shirts, the dyes fade REALLY fast.

I do not know if I have the authority to make this thread but I am going to. If it gets stickied or deleted them so mote it be.

Either way going on the premise of the old role call this is the introduction thread.

Hi again! I'm Arynn! And I just realized TC moved! ^^;;

Anyway, I recently became an ADF dedicant about...hmm 3ish months ago now, and I'm loving it ADF really speaks to me, and I'm happy to have found them. I've been a Pagan for about a year so far, but it took me a little while to find a specific path that felt right...I've tried a lot of different things, but kept coming back to some of the core concepts that ADF believes in/follows: a love of the Wheel of the Year holidays, a reverence for and love of nature, respect for our ancestors, the spirits around us, and the Gods (so, the Three Kindreds concept), a systematic/organized (yet very easily adapted to personal preference) ritual system, a focus on Indo-European pantheons, etc.

Despite ADF being the best fit for me right now, and my confidence that it will stick with me for a very long time, I'm still a newcomer to Neo-Druidry/Druidry in general, and I'm still learning a lot. That's why I'm so happy to be a part of TC and a part of this SIG! I'm still learning about my preferences and what will work best for me within ADF and within Neo-Druidry (what Hearth culture will work best for me, what Pantheon will work best for me, whether or not I have any specific Patrons, etc.). I had a relationship with the Goddess Persephone for a time, but that has dwindled a bit, though I can still feel Her out there, and watching over me.

Anyway, nice to meet you!

(If interested, I have an ADF-specific blog and a more general spiritual blog, both of which will show up in my "signature"...)

Good to know.

Cafepress would probably be the best bet then.


I volunteer to run the store, if Randall is cool with this idea.

Since I'm new to posting (i.e. ex-lurker) Hail and well met!

My path...this is a long story. I've been Pagan for as long as I can remember and once I was old enough to understand, I've followed a Celtic path. A few years back I found ADF and I was thrilled. Once I found ADF, I realized I had always been druidish, so to speak...lol But sadly, life got in the way of my Dedicant studies and I fell into the 'Lazy Pagan' status. But, last September, my husband and I were blessed with a beautiful little girl and I knew then I had to take the time for myself with my spirituality, since I knew at some point she's going to ask questions and I do not want to bumble threw it like my parents did. Anyway, a few weeks back, I was wondering why I never had really connected with any deities. I'd read every credible mythology book I could get my grubby lil hands on, but as much as I enjoyed it, it was like reading history for me. So, I expanded my reading and soon realized there were a couple Norse Gods that kind of...liked me. So, here I sit. Still feeling that I can say I'm following a druidic path, but at the same time, a heathen one. I've had a few folks say just honor the Norse Gods and follow the same path I have been, but for me that doesn't feel right.*shrugs* I won't say at the moment I don't feel a little bit lost and really not sure where this will all settle out, but for the time being, I'm a Heathen Druid.

Hi, I should introduce myself again

I live in Perth, Western Australia, with my fiance, our 15 month old son, and my 4 year old step son (part time). I am a lawyer by day, and Masters student by night - I am doing my Masters degree in bioethics, although my specialty at the moment seems to be procrastinating on my thesis...

I very recently joined the ADF, because I have felt very strongly drawn to Druidry but I am still quite new and out exploring, and work best within a structure. I am working solitary, more by circumstance than by choice (ie, I live in Perth. Not many Druids out this way!).

Good to meet all of you again!

I'm Vermillion. I technically do not belong to any order yet, but I'm just about to embark on first year studies with the AODA and, probably additionally, the OBOD.

Currently, I'm a pantheist/soft polytheist with no real religious affiliation to speak of. The non dogmatic approach at AODA is what attracted me. That and the fact I'm so remote and far away from any Groves or groups, I can do this study individually.

I'm 39, a stay at home, homeschooling parent. Former LDS, former Wiccan, now just an eclectic. I can't wait to start this program!

Sounds like a great idea to me.
