Now that my DP is done and completed, I’ve decided to take a minor break until the new year before I start the Clergy Program. Honestly there’s a lot of figuring out I have to do on the differences between the Clergy Program, Generalists Program and Initiates Program. Maybe in addition to my master list of Recommended Reading that I intend to create, I’ll create a page that kinda explains these things to all us n00bs.
I’ve decided to keep all of my ADF correspondences on this blog, so I will have another category that will be for all the new stuff coming in. That should keep things separated enough.

This essay was not approved for the DP, but I am keeping it here for my own reference.
As explained in my “about” page concerning this dedicant’s journal, I technically pull from many different hearth cultures. My patron, Athena, a Greek Goddess of war and wisdom. My Grove, CedarLight, mainly Celtic, with some dabblings in Norse. My other patron (I’m not worried about being politically correct here), I’ve been exploring Odin, also a God of War in the Nordic culture. And then there’s the lifestyle and purpose in which I choose to serve, which is strongly Native American. When it came time to write an essay about one ore two of these, it was a bit of a task choosing which one.
But the one with the most influence, is surely the Native American.
