Pam and I signed up as members of the ADF a few weeks ago. Several things about it caught my interest. Their focus on scholastic research when considering one's religion was a huge appeal. Yes, we are all making it up as we go, however let's make sure that we acknowlegde our own creations instead of trying to give them weight by laying over a veneer of history.
ADF also has a lot of SIGs that I find intriguing, such as the Bard and Liturgical groups.
And so the walk begins with the Dedicant's path. I am planning a schedule of what to do when, so that I can hit all of the marks in about a year. The first exercise I have started to focus on is the Virtues work. I am planning to build a series of meditations on each of the virtues, to increase their number from 9 to 13, to marry each one with a one of the Greek pantheon AND to have a new once completed every lunar month.
Other portions, such as the attendance to rituals etc. are being accomplished in their own time, with our Lammas celebration postponed to this coming weekend. I am really looking forward to it.
