"Each devotee’s path is different, and the vows they might take are going to vary." One topic that might bring up kind of a knee-jerk reaction with monastic polytheism is the idea of taking vows as they're associated with concepts like poverty and celibacy. In this excellent post, polytheistic monastic NíDara, who honors the goddess Brighid, explains their vows and the thought process behind them. https://oakenroots.substack.com/p/the-illuminating-spark-thoughts-on-62c
Do you all like unboxings? I've ordered a diamond painting set of cute floral coasters. I'll unbox it on camera.
Hi folks. I've created a new channel for crafting, and I explain my reasoning below. I'm considering keeping the /trish channel for things like adventures in video editing and other behind the scenes stuff for /acrafterscove, /blxstonesnctuary, YouTube, etc. But I'm not sure yet. Thanks for your patience during the transition.
I made a dough out of equal parts dog-safe peanut butter, oat flour, and water to wrap my dog's pills in because those pill pocket things are flippin' expensive.
If I'm understanding the channel rules correctly, I can't allow people to comment in channels unless they're members. I'll work on personal invites later this week. In the meantime, you can comment here for an invite.
Welcome to A Crafter's Cove Hosted by TrishD. Please bear with me as I transfer content over from the /trishd channel. I've been mulling over a channel name change, and I decided to give it a go. My reasoning is that I want the name to make more sense in searches. I chose "A" Crafter's Cove instead of just Crafters' Cove because even though all crafters are welcome, I'm still focusing on my interests and inviting you along for the ride (and encouraging you to start your own craft channel if you're so inclined). Please comment if you'd like a member invite.
What are you crafting or coloring this week? Feel free to share.
If you follow a polytheist monastic practice or adjacent one, do you have a midday prayer practice you'd like to share? I have a phone alarm set because I don't always remember to stop and take a few moments when I'm in the middle of work. It's proven helpful.
Hi, folks. I hope you like our new banner, a generative art work depicting a priestess praying at a goddess statue. This is part of our series of praying priestess pieces. I like to think of this scene as part of a daily or weekly pilgrimage to a shrine in the woods for contemplation before retiring to the Sanctuary for the evening.
I'm so happy for the traditional singing group Windborne for ending their recent Backerit campaign "To Warm The Winter Hearth: Windborne's Album & Book of Midwinter Celebration" being the #1 album on Backerit ever.

"In a world where art and music is devalued, and the mainstream expectation is that all music is free (or that we pay corporations like Spotify, and not the artists that make the art), you have said YES, artists should be able to thrive! We are so lucky to have you as a community that rejects extraction of art from artists, and celebrates the whole..."

Hi folks. I'm editing my first body doubling video for the channel that I mentioned in my Crafter's Cove intro on Paragraph. This one is pre-recorded but I'm also considering live videos for the future. I've linked an article that explains the body doubling technique in relation to work and productivity. For our purposes though, I'm employing this technique for those who need a nudge to take an hour without the thought of "getting things done." If you have a craft you haven't worked on in months or even years, I want to encourage you to take an hour and work on it with no pressure to finish. I want to encourage a no-hustle mindset for an hour.

You can, of course, use the hour to work on a hustle-related craft or other project and getting things done. There'll be no pressure from me about what you have to do. I'll let you know when it's finished. You also don't have to be diagnosed with any attention deficit disorder. All are welcome. https://add.org/the-body-double/
I won a $200 gift card from one of my contracts in a raffle that I didn't even know I was entered in. Woot! I chose a Chewy card.

Aren't me and the pooch lucky? 🐶
I've been on a fan token spree this morning finishing up with degen channel tokens. It's fun betting on winners. I just bought /degen channel's Fan Tokens powered by @moxie.eth cc @betashop.eth @airstack.eth @jacek
Panda Express wisdom for the day. 😊
Hi, folks. It's been a busy week and I haven't been keeping up with the channel changes on FC. I'll go over them this weekend, but this is such a tiny space right now, so I don't think much will change. I will be sending out member invites though.
That "Hello, fellow kids" feel when you're in your fifties thinking you can work nights like you did in your thirties without walking into things.
I'm pulling my second "almost all nighter" due to overlapping of work from contracts (a good kind of stress). I'm doing the usual take as much work as I can leading up to December thing because it slows down for me then. I kind of like hibernating in Decemer.
Happy October, everyone! Hub made me this gif of a line that Wednesday Addams from the first Addams Family TV series said to a visitor in the first episode. Whenever it's foggy or rainy, we say this to each other because we're dorky that way. 👻 🎃 👻
hihi I just boosted my FarScore by 0.002672 by locking 4 /tabletop channel's Fan Tokens with MoxiePower!

Hi folks. This is our new generative piece entitled, "Morning Walk to the Shrine." I wrote a little blurb: "As they walk the path to the entrance of the courtyard of shrines, the priestesses chant the names of their Holy Powers."

What does your vision of a morning walk to the shrine of your Holy Powers look like? Feel free to share.

I have several WIPs, both generative and mixed media art, depicting Sanctuary shrines. It's an inspirational topic for me.
Do y'all count Gangstagrass as country? I first heard of them through the theme song for the series Justified years ago, but this one is a banger too: Barnburning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vwFciHiWlk
Have you all seen this busted canvas trend? Some of them are so cute. https://youtube.com/shorts/Isrm6u2hCAM?feature=shared
I used this vegan butter recipe as a base and added a teaspoon of nutritional yeast and a pinch of turmeric. It's creamy and delicious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHQGGAY0vo8&list=PLThHoVvXTfmzw6P7I7l_ce5xW2JZSqDgd&index=7
I've lost enough weight that I'm able to wear a sweater I crocheted eons ago, but I have some arm adjustments to make, lol. What crafty thing are you working on this weekend?
