I , too, am a member of SCA, and am a 13 th cent woodswoman in the carpathian mountians. Taken from the archetype of the baba yaga, Magda'elena Bada is the token remnant of the Old Ways after Xtianity took over her village.

I live right by Pennsic, which is the largest international SCA event. It is a two week period where people stay, camping, in households and shires, in character and period garb. You cannot buy tickets to come and watch, which is more like a Renne Faire. People from over the pond actually rent storage units year round close to the Pennsic ground, so they dont have to ship their equipment back and forth.
(I cannot attend, because I cannot camp and they do not sell one day tickets. )

From swordsmanship to fencing, from leather work to spinning, from dance to barding, thereis something to be learned and enjoyed. Developing my character persona, helped me learn more about my family ancestry, for that is what I used as a jumping board for my persona.

I am very intrigued by this! I've been to one renaissance festival and absolutely fell in love with it - the clothing, the way they spoke.. and you're telling me there is a group that, excuse me if i'm wrong, re-enacts/re-lives it?

Tell me more?

Greetings,
Just looking for a fix it advice thread when I saw this. It's war season! Huzzah! I hope you are all having a safe and joyful summer. Yesterday we cleaned all the SCA stuff out of the garage, organized the camp gear and found enough odds and ends to put me in armor. The practice will either kill of cure me. A new/old group is starting nearby. I'm so excited.
