An Attempt at Some Good-Natured SCA Event Feast Humor

Disclaimer: Any resemblance to actual SCA event feasts, living or dead, 
or actual events is purely coincidental.

   





Thankfully, we have a wealth of remarkable cooks in our kingdom, and as a result, I have only had delicious feasts. Additionally, I have never had to suffer an autocrat who was quite this disruptive. It's just good-natured ribbing.

A Fine Fifteenth-Century Burgundian Paternoster

This is the documentation I wrote for a Paternoster I made to enter in an A&S Faire in Shire Abhainn Ciach Ghlais on 5 July, 2025. A Fine Fifteenth-Century Burgundian Paternoster   Valentine Garnett (m.k.a. Terry L. Mumma) valentinegarnett1524@gmail.com Shire of Abhainn Ciach Ghlais Kingdom of Æthelmearc 5 June, 2025 Oure fadir That art in hevenes Halwid be thi name Thi kingdom come to Be thi wille don On erthe as in hevenes Give to us this day oure bred ovir othir substaunce And forgiv us oure dettis As we forgiven oure dettours And lede us not in to temptacioun But delyevr us from yvel Amen (Skeat, 1871). The Our Father (Pater Noster), John Wycliffe translation, 1389 CE Bede, Old English for “prayer,” would become so synonymous with strung objects for counting prayers that by 1377, bede (or bead) would assume its modern definition. The Paternoster is an early Catholic prayer counter and is the medieval predecessor to the rosary. Paterno...

Kinda Sorta Medieval Glasses. But Not.

Image
  A brief disclaimer: For some, eyeglasses are merely fashion accessories, while for many, they are a necessity, prescribed by their doctor and custom-made to meet the specific needs of their eyes. Medical devices should always be off the table when it comes to scrutinizing medieval “appropriateness.” Always. A person’s eyeglasses are not a part of their garb, unless they choose to make them so. One’s choice of glasses and what is available (or not available) to them is nobody’s business but their own and their doctor's.

Good morrow!

  My name is Valentine Garnett (a.k.a. Brother Valentine/Friar Valentine). I am a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) and my primary location is the Shire of Abhainn Ciach Ghlais (Central, Pennsylvania), in the Kingdom of Æthelmearc, although I also have homes in the East Kingdom (South-central Pennsylvania) and the Kingdom of Atlantia (Washington, D.C.). It feels a bit “retro” to start a blog in 2025, but I think this might just be the thing to catalog the bits and bobs I want to share without committing them to a particular social media platform that may or may not be here after the next best thing comes along. I am afraid you will be disappointed if you are looking for a robust, busy blog with regular posts… this is more of a repository for me to use (and ignore) at my leisure. I initially started a blog at Wordpress because it's so pretty, but I quickly got confused and wandered here to see if it was easier. So far, so good.  I am interested in a variety o...
