Delftwood, Feast of the Seven Deadly Sins

Here Begins the Report of the Court of Gareth and Juliana, King and Queen of Æthelmearc at The Virtual Festival of the Seven Deadly Sins, hosted by the Barony of Delftwood, February 12, AS 56. jorundr hinn rotinn, Silver Buccle Herald, reporting.

In the morning, joined by Their Heir Prince Byron.

Their Majesties summoned Baron Magnus de Lyons to attend Them. Understanding that there exists some prior business, Their Majesties granted Mistress Ysabeau Tiercelin time in court to release Baron Magnus as her Protege. Thus being released, Their Majesties sent Baron Magnus to Vigil to contemplate entry into the Order of the Pelican.

Their Majesties next summoned THLord Lotharius qui et Segimundus. They granted Sir Murdoch Bayne time in Their Court to discuss the end of the contract that he held with THLord Lotharius, and release him from his squire’s oath. Their Majesties thus sent THLord Lotharius to Vigil to contemplate entry into the Order of Chivalry.

Court Suspended.

In the evening, joined by Their Excellencies Ixac and Amalie of the Barony of Delftwood.

Their Majesties asked for a moment of silence for absent friends.

They asked for Lord Halfdan Danielson to present himself before Them. Lord Halfdan has shown great prowess on the heavy weapons field, especially with sword and shield. Thus did Their Majesties feel fit to induct him into the Order of the Golden Alce. Scroll is a work in progress by Mary Elisabeth Clason.

Their Majesties next sought Lord Robert Oliphant. Lord Robert is known for prowess on the rapier field and being quite chivalrous. This pleased Their Majesties and so They inducted him into the Order of the Golden Alce. Scroll by Brother Bobby Robaird Michael Patrick Timothy James O’Suilleabhainn Calligraphy by Dame Zofia Kowalewska.

Lord Seamus Rogan was next invited to show himself. His service as a marshal and skill at archery pleased Their Majesties, thus they declared him a Companion of the Golden Alce. Scroll by Baroness Amalie Reinhardt.

Their Majesties summoned Lady Ana Sirena De Valbuena to present herself before Them. Her service to her barony and work towards finding sites and fostering the development of a new canton brings great joy to the Kingdom and Their Majesties. Thus they inducted her into the Order of the Keystone. Scroll by Mairghead Stoibheard inggean ui Choinne.

Their Majesties granted leave to Their Excellencies of Delftwood to hold Their Baronial Court.

Lord Ulfkell Dungelsson has caught Their Majesties attention. His long service as Knight Marshal of Endless Hills, and constant quiet service, including butchering meat for feasts is part of what makes Æthelmearc great. Thus did Their Majesties induct him into the Order of the Keystone. Scroll by Murdia Drusilla Vellia Portia.

Their Majesties were next attended by Lord William Fitz William. His long service as marshal and supporter of the Delftwood fighting community, along with his work towards creating a new canton in Delftwood caused Their Majesties to name him a Companion of the Keystone. Scroll by Gwen Cooke.

Lady Ilaria Rosati looks like she stepped out of a portrait. Their Majesties truly appreciate the efforts that she takes to dress the part of a Late Period French noble, and keeps her Pennsic encampment similarly authentic. For this they inducted her into the Order of the Golden Mirror. Scroll by Helena Mützhazenin.

Their Majesties next called for Mistress Ekaterina Volkova to present herself before Them. Mistress Ekaterina is well known for her service, but Their Majesties and the Order of the Laurel wished to talk about her art. Thus did Their Majesties deliver unto her a writ to sit vigil and contemplate entry into that order. Writ scroll by Kieran MacRae.

Their Majesties thanked those that ran the event as a lot of work goes into running a virtual event.

Court Closed.

Delftwood, rapier, Seven Deadlies, Teaching

Attention Fencers! Do you love to talk about fencing? Do you love to inspire other fencers? Have you ever found a subject you are passionate about and wish to share your knowledge?

Have I got an offer for you!

That’s right, if you ever have aspired to teach a class at war or academy or even among your peers we offer a great platform for you!

The Barony of Delftwood is holding its annual Feast of the Seven Deadly Sins this Saturday, February 12 on Zoom. The Barony is still in desperate need for 7 kind souls to lead roundtable discussions of their choice or teach upon their knowledge of a subject of their choice. Duration of discussion is between 20 to 30 minutes and format can be of your choosing. This opportunity is open to anyone in the SCA regardless of kingdom or local area.

We anticipate a good turnout for this event as it will be drawing people for the A&S classes, All Day Bardic, two Æthelmearc Courts (one in the morning to open the event which will be real short), Baronial Court, and more activities (link to the event).

Please consider lending a much needed hand, you may email me or you may private message me @Cainnech Obrion on Facebook Messenger.

Yours in Service to the Dream, Lord Claude DuViver

From the northern reaches of Delftwood comes Whisperings of Wyldwood. Strange on-goings has caused a stirring among archers to take up the bow and throwers to take up the ax within the newly discovered Wyldwood. Nestled among a wooded glade and around a creekside path does the Barony invite our populace and friends to engage in sport, as well as witness the chosen who will become the new Baronial Archery and Thrown Weapons Champions.

This year, to honor the memory of Orm of Loch Mor and the origin of the first Wyldwood, we are going back to the basics for this event. There will be many types of shooting and throwing fun offered including a novelty shoots/throws and other diabolical tests of prowess from the outgoing Champions.

Merchants will be on-hand selling their wares as well as an area set aside for those who just want a fun day out in the sun.

Delftwood, merchants

Next in our series of interviews with SCA merchants from Æthelmearc is THL Moniczka Elzbietka Poznanska from the Barony of Delftwood.

THL Moniczka

What’s the name of your shop?
Snoods by Moniczka

How long have you been in business (online or at events)?
Around 30 years.

What website do you use? What do you like/dislike about selling through that venue?
I have a Facebook page, but right now that’s it. Mostly I use it to advertise where I’ll be selling. I have gotten a few orders off the page.

What kinds of goods are you selling?
Snoods, bun covers, pony tail covers.

What are your most popular products?
Snoods.

Are you also the artisan as well as the seller?
Yes.

Do any other artisans sell through your shop?
I routinely carry leather barrettes that my husband, Henry Bogus, makes. He is on Facebook under that name, but the soap business is called Happy Pollack Soaps. I also sell veils made by Fenris McGill, also on Facebook, her business is Sun, Moon & Starflowers.

Do you offer any kinds of discounts or special offers? If so, what?
When people buy more than one item, I tend to give them a certain amount off. I also have a discount basket with items that have been on my table too long.

How has business been since the pandemic, and has the pandemic made it harder or easier to make items to sell?
Business has pretty much stopped during the pandemic. Snoods are something that need to be seen, maybe tried on.

Is there anything else you’d like prospective customers to know?
I’m still here.

Are you an SCA merchant from Æthelmearc? If you would like to be featured in a future SCA Shop Talk post, please email us at aethgazette@gmail.com.

SCA Shop Talk: Good, Clean Soaps & Crafts

07 Monday Dec 2020

Delftwood, merchants

THLord Justin Lymner

Our next merchant in our SCA Shop Talk series is THLord Justin Lymner of the Barony of Delftwood.

What’s the name of your shop?
Good, clean, soaps & crafts

How long have you been in business (online or at events)?
About 15 years.

What website do you use?
Mostly word of mouth, interest when I post pictures on my Facebook page. I like in person sales … sigh

What kinds of goods are you selling?
Soaps – glycerin, cold process and liquid, lip balms, and chain mail jewelry. I started with melt and pour glycerin soaps, very easy and already soap so no need to work with lye. Since it almost transparent you can play with light!

I have branched out to cold process as I like having total control of my ingredients and as it has more working time, than glycerin, you can do interesting swirls. Liquid soap is great as I make a large batch and scent as I go. Lip balms came about as I did not like the ones available, and had the raw materials from soap making. A friend gave me some jump rings to try chain maille; I found I was good at it and I loved it!

What are your most popular products?
Lip balms, my own formula, and chain mail bracelets.

Are you also the artisan as well as the seller?
I like to think my creations are art. I do a lot of different periods of garb. I have said my persona is clothes horse.

Do you offer any kinds of discounts or special offers? If so, what?
Not usually… I try for affordable luxury. sometimes I have bartered on a case by case basis.

How has business been since the pandemic, and has the pandemic made it harder or easier to make items to sell?
It is different as no craft shows or events income, however less overhead as no entrance fees or gas. I have more time to craft. Alas, I usually do a lot of teaching in person, which of course has not been happening except for a few virtual classes. I was the glycerin soap presenter for a virtual soap making conference which drew people from across the nation!

Is there anything else you’d like prospective customers to know?
My business philosophy is that everyone deserves to be spoiled a bit. I try not to over-scent/flavor my products as this is another reason I started making my own.

 

Are you an SCA merchant from Æthelmearc? If you would like to be featured in a future SCA Shop Talk post, please email us at aethgazette@gmail.com.

Delftwood, Shoot in the Wildwood, Shoote in the Wyldewoode

From the Scrolls of the Reign of Timothy and Gabrielle, King and Queen of AEthelmearc, as recorded by Dame Kateryna ty Isaf, Jewel of AEthelmearc Herald with the assistance of THLady Sophie Davenport, Silver Buccle Herald at Shoot in the Wildwood in the Barony of Delftwood on September 2, Anno Societatis LII.

In the morning:

Their Majesties called Baron Artemius Andreas Magnus before Them.  They asked him if he was ready to sit vigil this day and receive the council of the Order of the Laurel.  With his agreement, Their Majesties called forth the Most Noble Order of the Laurel to take him to a place made ready for him to sit in contemplation of elevation to the peerage.

In the afternoon:

Their Majesties called forth Helen Hillson.  Their Majesties advised that Helen had served well and faithfully as a member of the Queens Guard completing the quest set before her by Sir Murdoch at Pennsic.  Seeing her enthusiasm as contagious to all around her, They felt it was right and just to induct her into the Order of the Silver Buccle.  The scroll is a work of Baroness Graidhne ni Ruaidh.

Their Majesties called forth rest of the children present.  Stating how they had grown too swift and wise about catching the runner, Their Majesties had determined to change the game.  Benjamin of Arindale was called forth and advised to hide the chest, whereupon the children would need to find it to retrieve a toy.  Benjamin did run from the court and snuck back in to lay the chest once again at Their Majesties feet where it was set upon by the children.

Their Majesties gave Their Excellencies, Marcus and Desiderata leave to hold court for the Barony of Delftwood.

At the conclusion of the baronial court, Their Majesties called Lady Elisabetta de Venetia before Them.  Their Majesties spoke of how her joy and enthusiasm for every aspect of the society is unbound.  They advised that for her kindness, courtesy and friendliness it would be hard to locate a more deserving member of the society and so did name her Jewel of AEthelmearc.  The scroll was created by the hands of Mistress Juliana Rosalia Dolce de Siena and THLord Padraig O’Branduibh.

Their Majesties called THLady Clarissa and Lord Kenneth to attend Them.  Her Ladyship Clarissa and Lord Kenneth thanked Their Majesties for Their patronage of the arts.

Their Majesties invited before Them Mistress Sǫlveig Þrándardóttir and and THLady Elska á Fjárfelli.  Mistress Mistress Sǫlveig invited THLady Elska to join Domus Minervæ, which is a confraternity of scholars dedicated to research, teaching, and publication.

Their Majesties called forth Elizabeth the Nameless.  For her service in setting up and tearing down for events in the Barony and her willingness to provide Their Excellencies with scroll blanks, They saw fit to make her a Lady of the court and Awarded her Arms.  The scroll was a work by Baroness Clarice Roan.

Their Majesties called Katelinn of Delftwood.  For her accomplishments in archery including making her own bow and learning fletching, Their Majesties Awarded her Arms and made her a Lady of the court.  The scroll created by the hand of Baroness Clarice Roan.

Their Majesties asked Amelia of Delftwood to attend Them.  Noting how pleasant she is to work with and her active participation within the Barony of Delftwood, They Awarded her Arms thereby making her a Lady of the court.  The scroll was limned by THLady Anlaith ingen Trena.

Their Majesties called Stephen of Delftwood to attend Them.  For his cheerful help with set up and tear down at events and classes, Their Majesties Awarded him Arms and made him a Lord of the court.  The scroll by THLady Rachel Dalicieux.

Their Majesties then called before Them THLady Gytha Oggesdottir.  For her outreach and welcoming hospitality for newcomers and her kindness to new and old members of the Society, Their Majesties inducted her into the Order of the Cornelian.

Their Majesties inducted Lord Rhys Penbras ap Dafydd into the Order of the Keystone for his work as Baronial Exchequer, merchant liaison for Ice Dragon and as event tollner in the Barony of Rhydderich Hael.  Scroll by THFool Dagonell the Juggler.

Their Majesties called Lady Saskia Feldmeyrin before Them.  For her skill in making pottery, Their Majesties inducted her into the Order of the Sycamore.  The scroll was created by Baroness Maddelena de Angeles.

Their Majesties called Lord Jan Langhe ten Walde into court.  For his dedication and the hard work achieving the fencing prowess necessary to place third in the Ice Dragon bear pit this year, Their Majesties inducted him into the Order of the Golden Alce.  The scroll was a work by the hand of THLady Mairghread Stiebhard inghean ui Choinne.

Their Majesties called Baroness Anastasie de Lamoure before Them.  Noting her diligence can be seen in the Thrown Weapons and archery marshallates as well as in her position as regional exchequer, Their Majesties felt it right and proper to summon before Them the Order of the Millrind and add Her Excellency to their number.  The scroll was by Meisterin Felicitas Flußmüllnerin.

Their Majesties asked that the Order of the Millrind remain as there were several pieces of business where they would be needed.  Next Their Majesties called Baroness Caitriona Fhial inghean ui Chonaill, called Kayley into court.  Their Majesties noted her long service as Kingdom, Regional and local exchequer and seeing her devotion to the society in such service is without limit, They inducted her into the Order of the Millrind.  The scroll was by the hand of Lady Genevote Nau d’Anjou.

Their Majesties then called Don Matteo Pesci before Them.  For his work as the backbone of Myrkfaelinn working for years as seneschal, exchequer, autocrat and marshal, Their Majesties inducted him into the Order of the Millrind.  The scroll was created by Lady Amalie Reinhardt.

Having noted that Lady Amalie is always contributing, Their Majesties called her forth.  As Kingdom Webmistress, They found her extremely responsive to any need and had seen the great work she has done overhauling the Kingdom website.  For these reasons, Their Majesties inducted her into the Order of the Millrind and Granted her Arms.  The scroll was created by Lady Felice de Thornton.

With that, Their Majesties bid the Order of the Millrind to greet their newest members.

Their Majesties called Baron Artemius Andreas Magnus to attend Them.  His Excellency presented himself and agreed that he did indeed sit vigil and received counsel and had resolved that it was his wish to continue.  Their Majesties called for the Order of the Laurel to attend Them.  They asked for worthies to attest to Baron Artemius’ qualifications to for this accolade.  As a Member of the Order of Chivalry, Sir Ruslan Igotavich Voronov spoke of the fact that Artemius was influential in nudging him back into the Society.  He stated he wanted to win crown if only to ensure this would occur.  As a member of the Order of the Pelican, Mistress Alheydis von Körckhingen spoke of how he welcomed her, the mother of six children, taking the time to answer the questions of eager young boys and never making them feel unwanted.  As a Master of Defense, Master Benedict Fergus atte Mede spoke of how he was an example before he was a Baron.  As Royal Peer, Duchess Ilish O’Donovan of Cork spoke of how we must be worthy of his art and how he fosters and encourages others.  As Lady of the Rose, Duchess Rowan de la Garnison spoke of how he seeks to be inspired daily.  As Jewel of AEthelmearc, Baroness Sadira bint Wassouf spoke of he was grace in motion with kindness and courtesy.  For the populace, THLord Timothy of Edgewood advised that his man inspires the populace to do better and thanked Their Majesties for what They do this day.  Finally as a member of the Order of the Laurel Master Kenhelm advised that in all ways Baron Artemius is his peer.

Having heard these words and the counsel of the Order of the Laurel, Their Majesties agreed it was right and fitting to elevate Baron Artemius Andreas Magnus by Letters Patent to the Order of the Laurel.  They called forth for a cloak to warm him, a Laurel’s medallion to denote his station and Laurel leaves so all may know him to be a peer.  Finally They called for the ancestral fruitcake as a reminder for Master Artemius to never take himself too seriously.  A scroll to mark the occasion was a work in progress.

Their Majesties summoned the Silver Buccle Herald, THLady Sophie Davenport before Them.  Knowing Their time upon the throne grew short, They asked her to summon the Jewel of AEthelmearc Herald and divest her of her title and duties.   Her Ladyship called Dame Kateryna ty Isaf before Their Majesties.  Releasing her from her oaths given to both the crown and office of herald, saving for the oath to keep Their Majesties confidences, Her Ladyship removed the tabard of Jewel of AEthelmearc Herald from Dame Kateryna.

Her Majesty asked Dame Kateryna to remain and thanked her for her diligent service as Jewel of AEthelmearc Herald.  Her Majesty advised that She would never know from Dame Kateryna’s performance of duties that she suffers from stage fright and that She could find no other person She felt more worthy to name as the Queen’s Inspiration of the day and did bestow upon her the Golden Escarbuncle.

Their Majesties asked that all scribes who contributed to the scrolls given during the courts today stand and be recognized.

There being no further business this day, Their Majesties court was thus concluded.
