		<description>Hmm, I never really had to explain it before. It kind of puts your mind in a zone for chilling - shaking out the stress of the day, other times its to vent and get over frustration, and other times its for that sense of community connection. I&#039;ve played so others can dance and express themselves, and for soothing and healing (which is usually with my flute). Its about experimenting and experiencing how music affects our feelings and harnessing that for what is needed.

There had been a series of times that everyone heard singing, yet no one visible was, we stopped and thought that it was someone in one of the adjacent rooms singing in the vents, but no one else was in the building. We considered that it may have been the reverberation of the drums in the room. But we hadn&#039;t heard that before and we&#039;d been playing there for some time. We could all agree on what we heard and even had a friend come in to join us asking who was singing and was looking for a new person in the crowed. The didn&#039;t believe us when we said that we don&#039;t know who is singing. Then when they joined us they heard it too but were staring at each of our mouths to see if it was indeed one of us singing. Over time we just accepted it and would talk about what we heard, it was often native type singing and sometimes more than one voice, both masculine and feminine. It was the only thing that makes me question spirits. But have no proof for either side - we all just know we heard something that sounded like singing. I tried to not let the imagination expand on further on what we were experiencing and since it was in an inclosed area think it is most likely the sound reverberating, as it usually came up only when a certain kind of tune was playing. *shrugs* 

But yeah, that is what I do for music. Or at least all I can remember for now.</description>

		<description>D&#039;oh! Contact form. Okay, yes, you&#039;re totally right and that is long overdue. For now: drew@roguepriest.net. I really look forward to hearing from you.

By the way, baking is an awesome art. Magic is cool and all but if I had to spend my whole life with either cakes or talismans, gooooodbye grimoire.</description>

		<description>Thank you Cory! Yours was one of the first ones mentioned to me when I started asking around, and I&#039;m glad it was. Keep up the great work. I&#039;m taking a look at Sarah as we speak.</description>

		<description>Ah, I see now. Happy to share. The icons I&#039;m using on the scrolls are based on traditional Western geomancy. I start with the geomantic figures themselves, or the sigils based on them, and then use those to make unique images. So the base design is arranged to work for the charm in mind, and then the art is built over that design. Pictures soon of course!</description>

		<description>Thank you Rua! Personally I&#039;ve been leaning toward the cleaner edge too. I think I will keep making the treasure map edge for a select few types of scrolls but mostly use the natural edge. At least for now.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s really awesome Rua. I think a lot of people are looking for a mystique and for some reason that is more important to them than results or understanding what&#039;s actually going on when you cast a spell. Or maybe it would be it would be more accurate to say that for them the sense of mystique is synonymous with results. This is by no means true of every magical practitioner but it does seem to create a dividing line. 

I&#039;m curious about your musical approach. Do you mean drumming for a trance effect or something different?</description>
