This requires that a Dedicant demonstrate how he or she works with nature, honours the earth, and understands their impacts. It also requires that the student find ways to make a difference locally. . . http://www.chronarchy.com/mjournal/nature/index.html Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:24:32 EDT Indo-European society was divided into three "functions" by Georges Dumézil. With this came many speculations regarding what could be associated with those divisions. Whether the theory is ideal or not, it does make an interesting tool, so provided here is a table that lists many of the functions and associations. . . http://www.chronarchy.com/essays/musings/ie-function-chart.html Mon, 26 Jul 2010 10:43:22 EDT An oracle based on the lyrics of Rush. May it help you! http://www.chronarchy.com/essays/chaos/authentic/oracle-rush-gen.html Sun, 12 Jul 2010 10:32:42 EDT My application for Ordination as an ADF Priest. . . http://www.chronarchy.com/sp/ordination-app.html Thu, 10 Jun 2010 9:16:59 EDT Some time ago, I started collecting 'confessions' on my website. I have now received 50 total confessions (most of which are available for posting). Read through them, or submit your own. . . http://www.chronarchy.com/misc/confessions.html Wed, 13 Jan 2010 10:50:34 EST The ADF chat log from Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009, where I was a special guest. The file is just the text document, so be aware that you're getting a raw chat log text when you click on the link, but included are topics such as the ADF Order of the Crane, getting started in ADF, and the role of the Priest in ADF. . . http://www.chronarchy.com/misc/adf-chat-log-2009-11-07.txt Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:39:53 EST Recently published in Oak Leaves #44, the article is now available on my website as well. Focusing on Ghosti, Rta, Hard Polytheism, Triple Cosmos, Centered Ritual, Fire, Communication, World-Affirming, and Power & Responsibility, this article gets at the heart of why we do ritual and how we do it. . . http://www.chronarchy.com/essays/nine-tenants.html Sun, 05 Apr 2009 12:03:03 EDT Finally, the Magic 8 Ball Oracle is working on Chronarchy.Com! The Magic 8 Ball is the divination tool I use most often, and getting a working one on my site has been a long-standing goal. Now, one is prepared! Get a Yes/No question into your head and come take a look. . . http://www.chronarchy.com/essays/chaos/authentic/oracles/magic-8-ball-oracle.html Fri, 12 Dec 2008 15:14:34 EST Fresh update, fresh promises to be a bit more dynamic. Seriously, check it out! Included in this update are a report on Discordian Ritual Cleansing techniques, DP work that I've done, and a few other links here and there. http://www.chronarchy.com/ Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:11:43 EDT In re-working the ADF Dedicant Path, I have completed another requirement: re-writing the Home Shrine essay for the DP. Here is a basic description of my shrine, my plans for the future with it, and a couple of notes about the current state. . . http://www.chronarchy.com/mjournal/altar/altar.html Wed, 15 Oct 2008 11:05:28 EDT In re-working the ADF Dedicant Path, I have completed another requirement: the Personal Spirituality requirement.

This one is no exception. Found in a secret government vault and just now released to the public, and provided for your eyes only. . . http://www.chronarchy.com/essays/chaos/discordian-ritual-cleansing.pdf Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:14:22 EDT Wow, it's been a whole year almost since the last update. Come by, examine it, and see what you think! This is a small update, but a fresh one nonetheless. http://www.chronarchy.com/ Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:33:45 EDT Magic 2 is a continuation of the Magic 1 course from GSP 1, and begins moving us away from the magician's place in the IE world and into the practical world of working with your own relationships with the Powers, self-examination, magic in ritual, and demonstrating your competency with magical skills. http://www.chronarchy.com/sp/magic2/ Wed, 02 Apr 2008 08:43:50 EDT The MK VII Gas Mask Bag (aka MK VII Respirator Bag) is the bag used by Indiana Jones in the movies by the same name. It's a great bag for holding all things that bring fortune and glory. I recently acquired a MK VII (Mark Seven) gas mask bag from What Price Glory. The bag itself is in unissued condition, and was made in 1942. Since I had a devil of a time locating photos of this particular bag online, I thought I should add it to my own webpages for other Indy fans who might want to find one (or make one of their own). http://www.chronarchy.com/essays/markvii.html Tue, 11 Mar 2008 11:47:05 EST I have begun re-working my ADF Dedicant Program. I recently uploaded a new set of High Days essays (Req. 2) to my site in an effort to provide a better set of example essays on my site. Next, the Nine Virtues! http://www.chronarchy.com/mjournal/hhd/highdays.html Thu, 18 Oct 2007 08:41:08 EDT On 08/04/07, my work in the Scholars Guild Study Program, Circle 1, was passed by the Scholars Guild Precptor. http://www.chronarchy.com/sp/sgsp/ Mon, 06 Aug 2007 12:43:18 EDT On 08/03/07, my work in the Liturgist Guild Study Program, Circle 1, was passed by the Liturgist Guild Precptor. http://www.chronarchy.com/sp/lgsp/ Mon, 06 Aug 2007 10:46:11 EDT Written for the Three Cranes Grove, ADF, 2007 Summer Solstice ritual, this poem was written more as the script for a play than anything else. While the poem was recited, actors portrayed the parts of Lugus and Rosmerta (and a few warriors). It was designed mostly to simply tell the story (as best as can be reconstructed) http://www.chronarchy.com/poems/lugus-rosmerta-marriage.html Mon, 23 Jul 2007 11:58:30 EDT There is a Zuni legend that when the Water Skate was given magical powers by the Sun Father, he stretched his four legs out upon the waters. http://www.chronarchy.com/essays/multiplicity-of-centers.html Tue, 26 Jun 2007 12:57:32 EDT Short and weird, about my thing for women in green pants. http://www.chronarchy.com/essays/musings/green-pants.html Tue, 26 Jun 2007 12:53:49 EDT One of my many musings, or short essays. http://www.chronarchy.com/essays/musings/topy-proverb.html Tue, 26 Jun 2007 11:59:49 EDT Yes, the front page of Chronarchy.Com has gotten its first update since October of last year. Come by, examine it, and see what you think! There are many new articles linked, as well as some popular old ones. http://www.chronarchy.com/ Tue, 14 Jun 2007 11:29:49 EDT While digging through old journals, I found this divination method written on a hot summer's day. It's simple, but amusingly effective. . . sort of like tea leaves, but more. . . organic. http://www.chronarchy.com/essays/musings/fly-divination.html Tue, 12 Jun 2007 12:50:29 EDT Every deck of playing cards comes with a couple of cards that are misfits: you don't use them in games, there are no rules for them, and there's no use to keeping them. Those cards are the Jokers. . . http://www.chronarchy.com/misc/joker-deck.html Tue, 05 Jun 2007 10:02:24 EDT At ComFest in 2006, Three Cranes Grove, ADF, did short devotional rituals every three hours for three days. They were hectic, but they were very, very good for us. In light of ComFest coming up yet again this year, I wanted to post this, and explain a bit about it. . . http://www.chronarchy.com/rituals/short-public-devotional.html Mon, 04 Jun 2007 10:19:27 EDT The first of the rites from "The Fire of Piety", this rite is a simple self-blessing ritual designed for beginners, and particularly designed without need for tools or offerings. The idea to make it not need either tools or offerings was so that those without access could still do the rite. http://www.chronarchy.com/rituals/self-blessing-rite.html Mon, 21 May 2007 10:23:30 EDT Hekatatia has informed me that I passed the Liturgy Practicum 1: Domestic Cult Practice course from the Liturgist Guild Study Program! My favourite part is the journal (requirement 4), so please go read through it! http://www.chronarchy.com/sp/lgsp/lit-pract1/index.html Fri, 11 May 2007 17:23:00 EDT Very recently, I've come into a relationship that I can't describe with Usas. Yeah, I've talked about her before, but I've never really explained who she is. . . http://www.chronarchy.com/essays/usas-exploration.html Thu, 26 Apr 2007 17:13:00 EDT Part of the ADF Clergy Training Program is a course called "Liturgy Practicum 1: Domestic Cult Practice". There is a journal involved in that course, and the journal is now completely online. I am now working on the summary essay. http://www.chronarchy.com/sp/lgsp/lit-pract1/req-4.html Mon, 12 Mar 2007 11:00:00 EDT As the first order of buisness with an RSS feed, I decided to, well, add an RSS feed. So this link only goes back to this page. http://www.chronarchy.com/rss.xml Thu, 01 Mar 2007 10:00:00 EST
