Text of the page (random words):
ook excellent care of me i got a place to rest and tea and food and volunteers to usher people in and out of the storytelling space everyone was super excited for the stories and they paid a lot of compliments to my dress reconstruction which made me feel proud since it came from people who deal with sarmatian things on a daily basis my friend who presented the artifact petting zoo portion of the program even invited me to show the dress off to people as an illustration the first round of storytelling was the program for children titled giants heroes and tricksters since all the kids immediately got stuck at the archaeology sandbox digging feverishly for finds the program started a little late a little boy arrived first with his grandma and was very shy but once i started telling him a story other flocked in too and eventually i had a neat little audience of 15 or 20 people i told my favorite nart story in which the heroes dig up the bones of an ancient giant and bring him back to life to learn about how people lived in the past if there has ever been a fitting story for archaeology day this one was it i also told the tale where the narts go adventuring and they all get stuck in magical chairs just to be rescued by sirdon the trickster before a bunch of giants eat them i love this story not only for the humor but also because it is a clear parallel to one of my favorite irish fianna legends the hostel of the quicken trees the second round was supposed to be stories for adults but since it was still early in the afternoon many people brought their kids with them anyway i didn t mind they were very well behaved and sat in the front row with eyes wide reacting to the stories with gasps and giggles and noises of wonder the adult program was titled the time of heroes and it drew an audience of at least 30 40 people including most of the museum staff this time i had more time and an audience with a longer attention span since i was the last program they had nowhere else to rush i first told the birth of soslan and how he was tempered in wolf s milk the incident i mentioned here then i told the story of how soslan saved his mother satana from the lake of hell and how he was accepted as the greatest hero of the narts ironically not for saving her but for failing to save her because he stopped to help people along the way who were in greater need i told the fun little bit about satana and her husband urizmag getting a divorce a folktale type when the wife can take what s dearest to her from the household and she takes her sleeping husband this one is so popular they even used it in a movie after this we circled back to soslan winning a wife through a dance off also mentioned on the link above the kids loved this one at this point the audience stared asking for one more story every time i finished one which is the greatest compliment a storyteller can get i told a short funny story about sirdon the trickster tricking the narts when they tried to bully him in the end i decided to jump into the tale of alimbeg s daughter the sex change story i posted about last week the audience listened with keen interest and the lyrical nature of the tale seemed to carry everyone along they seemed more shocked by alimbeg having seven wives a man even muttered poor guy than his daughter turning into a man actually i chose option 3 from my musings but the story when told needed a lot less tweaking than i expected it also probably helped with the adults that i told them hungarians have the same story in tradition it sounded less foreign that way all in all it was a dream gig i got to tell stories that i love to people who appreciated them and especially children who were completely enchanted i got to do it in a museum that holds artifacts that appear in the stories wearing a dress that evoked the people who probably told the same tales two thousand years ago and night of the museums is only three weeks away posted by a tarkabarka hölgy at 10 55 am 13 comments labels archaeology costume epics fianna heroes museums narts ossetians performances sagas sarmatians sca thursday august 14 2014 5 things to love about the sca when you fill out the ultimate geek test which you should you get extra points for being in the sca and even more extra points for holding an office in the sca in mainstream culture being a member of the society for creative anachronism is usually seen as an extremely geeky nerdy activity which is totally fine with me because i am a nerd but there are also a lot of stereotypical ideas and misconceptions out there about what the sca is or what we do without attempting to dissolve all of those today i had the inspiration to make a list of some of my favorite things about being a scadian 1 community that talks we eat together we sit together we play together and we talk a lot i cherish the times when we sit around everyone working on their own project of embroidery spinning knitting weaving etc and while our hands work we talk about things not just sca things all kinds of things we talk about our day and work and the movies we like and the shows we watch and the books we read and sometimes we tell stories and we laugh a lot in a world where i walk into classrooms full of students sitting in complete silence staring stubbornly at their phones it is a rare thing to have one night a week when you just sit and talk to other human beings 2 community that dances people who dance real dances not grinding and twitching with partners boy and girl girl and girl boy and boy no one cares for fun to live music people who dance medieval dances renaissance dances dances you secretly admire in jane austin movies in long lines and the guys bow and the girls curtsy and get this guys don t awkwardly shuffle away to avoid it we dance until we can t breathe and then we dance some more and we have dance cards faints 3 community that knows their history one of the things i notice about my students in the usa is how different their perception of history is compared to students in europe oh sure most european students loathe history too but they exist in a space where history has a different long term feel to it and that affects how they perceive long ago events long story short if you love to have long discussions about viking weaponry or the dirty secrets of medieval royal bedrooms or you love swapping roman era inside jokes the sca is one of the few non academic spaces to do it these people are history buffs and they know their stuff oh and they also know how to make it exciting 4 community that creates things honestly i have never been a very crafty person i don t impulsively re decorate i don t make clothes and i can only sew buttons i used to do embroidery and friendship bracelets in high school and that s about it even when i was in a renaissance performance group in hungary i had my dresses made i never got around to making them myself and then i joined the sca i joined in late august by early november i had a tablet weaving project and with the woven belt came an idea for a garb and so i started learning how to work a sewing machine by then i had a shoe box full of needles scissors thread and random tidbits by the end of spring i had an ongoing costume project and a full sized toolbox full of stuff the joy of creating something with your own hands is severely underrated these days 5 you get to do archery god i missed archery after high school so freaking much i rest my case mysca posted by a tarkabarka hölgy at 11 26 pm no comments labels archery history sca thursday april 3 2014 c is for cinnabar or immortality is not always good for your health cinnabar is a mineral of a strong signature red hue that produces the pigment called vermilion the word cinnabar allegedly comes from the persian word for dragon s blood i have already mentioned one of the four symbols in chinese mythology the azure dragon of the east well the vermilion bird of the south is also one of them and is fabled to live in a cinnabar cave somewhere in the south red is symbolic to this bird partly because its association with heat and fire but i have always wondered if it has something to do with all the glorious tropical birds of red hues of south east asia but i digress what does cinnabar have to do with immortality well according to chinese alchemy cinnabar is an essential ingredient for the elixir of immortality it is highly regarded because of its color symbolizing royalty energy and fire and also for its relation to quicksilver which together makes cinnabar a combined element of both yin and yang according to the legends of the eight immortals the oldest person to achieve immortality was zhongli quan usually translated as iron crutch li he lived during the han dynasty and being a miracle child advanced quickly in the royal court until he became a general of the armies after being beaten in battle by the tibetan army he hid in the mountains and became the apprentice of a mysterious old man who taught him the secrets of alchemy in a three day intensive boot camp how to turn stone into gold and silver and how to prepare the elixir of longevity from cinnabar equipped with a fan that can turn stone into gold and silver he set out to make the world a better place in time iron crutch li achieved immortality and ascended into the heavens on a shining cloud becoming the leader of the group of eight immortals warning do not try this at home cinnabar contains mercury and is highly poisonous any attempt at immortality might be very damaging to your health fun fact the barony of cynnabar one of the baronies of the middle kingdom within the society of creative anachronism choose its name based on the symbolism of cinnabar and especially because the symbol of the kingdom is a red dragon read the full story here also talking about red hues that start with c check out andrew lang s classic
