Bardic Inspiration


 I am wondering about glycocalyx and extra sensory perception-field awareness-extended personal space-sticky conductive informative extra cellular beyond the membrane experience.

thinking vibrating vesicles viscosity variables, the mechanics of mist and waft study.

Then the Arch Druid of ADF posts that Bardic Inspiration is presented as optional in COoR on the clergy council list.
Asking for discussion,
 I give a long and heartful response -hit send and it all disappears!

I repost this,

"thanks for bringing this to my attention, I whole heartedly endorse the reestablishment of Bardic inspiration to COoR"


I was inspired to speak of it with members of the grove before ritual and brought attention to the subject at the appropriate time in sacred space this Samhain with everybody assembled and reassembled.

I want to record here why I believe inspiration is a essential aspect in ADF ritual approach and appeal.
As the definitive and retentive best practice, we honor our sources as best we can as tribute to the work.

 complete order of ritual is a special song, sometimes a chorus tapping into an evolutionary response. 
it should not be about controlling, compelling, competing communication concept club creation 


Inspiration is an independent value judgement determined by the experiencer.
Catagoricly presented as a growth medium for individuals until expiration

People expressing a special reverence and veneration for other relationship expressions do so from a human artistic tradition coupled by an internal feeling that is exciting stimulating and uplifting.

Making an appeal ritually is- word actions intentions-
the connection
the lineage
Ritual is art form
We Are Not Know it All Originators of between the worlds behavior
We are not offering unquestioned obedience to a master for protection or forgiveness
We are acknowledging that the effort to guide, teach, learn the good stuff is a cultured benevolent spirit.
We seek to aim and focus from a common direction
not everchanging fashionable popular entertainment attention
not servile conformity to process authority structures
We ask that poetic language describe and examine the crafting and symbol of blessings appreciations 
We seek understanding from our efforts to share hopeful exchange
Instructive agency we feel you out there
Attractive creative curious compelling communication
mystical mythical moving mouth magic minds mingling memories melodies moments meals mixing

this is where the idea comes from

it takes place early to set the tone of ritual activity

guiding guarding group grip giving gratitude games generation generally generous good gift

it is not about fear
it is not about fear of the unknown
it is not about control or possessions, ownership, negotiating deals, mandatory behavior.

It is the bridge between silly and sacred constructed of metaphors of others connected by story
a response to environmental stimulation with an occasional expression of aesthetic beauty and charm.
It keeps us together
It crosses cultures
It turns us on
without it we are screwed
