  • Canadian Guiding Badges and Insignia Brownie Six/Circle Emblems
    Canadian Guiding Badges And Insignia Brownie Six/Circle Emblems Following the introduction of the Brownie program to provide Guiding for younger girls, and after the decision to base the new program on The Brownie Story, a further decision was made in 1919 to subdivide a Brownie Pack into smaller groups consisting of six girls. These smaller groups within the Pack were known as Sixes and were identified by a Six emblem bearing the name of some mythical fairy- like person from folklore. [Reference: POR (British, 1919)] The original Six emblems were brown felt; later versions were brown cotton with the edges bound in brown. In 1995, the term “Sixes” was replaced by the term “Circles”, and the shape of the emblems was changed as well. In 1972, three of the original twelve Six emblems were retired and in 1995 four new ones were added.

After the ‘discovery’ of African pygmies in the 1860s, little people became a powerful way of imaginatively connecting to an inconceivably distant past, and the place of humans within it. Little people in fin de siècle narratives have been commonly interpreted as atavistic, stunted warnings of biological reversion. I suggest that there are other readings available: by deploying two nineteenth-century anthropological theories – E. B. Tylor’s doctrine of ‘survivals’, and euhemerism, a model proposing that the mythology surrounding fairies was based on the existence of real ‘little people’ – they can also be read as positive symbols of the tenacity of the human spirit, and as offering access to a sacred, spiritual, or magic, world.

This journal provides a forum for Mississippi University for Women students to present their original research on the Middle Ages and Renaissance and is sponsored by the Medieval and Renaissance Studies Minor in the Department of History, Political Science, and Geography. The articles in this journal arise from the Medieval and Renaissance Studies Research Symposium that took place on April 7, 2017 on the campus of The W. This issue includes five articles, related to both history and literature, examining life, death, power, and love in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. First, Tera Pate, who just graduated with a B.A. in English discusses the use of the word “crown” in Shakespeare’s Richard III and I Henry IV. Second, Lauren Harmon, a rising sophomore in History, compares the power of two queens (Eleanor of Aquitaine and Matilda of Scotland) using letters to and from powerful religious men. Third, Morrigan Hollis, a rising junior in English and History, argues that despite Guinevere’s bad reputation in modern culture, her role in Le Morte d’Arthur showed power and agency.

  • Gnomes and Imps: the Mythology of Brownies
    Gnomes and Imps: The Mythology of Brownies by Nicola Higgins 1 Co Contents Introduction 3 Brownies 4 Gnomes 5 Imps 6 Elves 7 Pixies 8 Sprites 9 Leprechauns 10 Ghillie Dhu 11 Kelpies 12 Bwbachod 13 Bibliography 14 2 Introduction "What I am going to do?" their mother sighed. "I can't keep the cottage tidy. If only we had a Brownie!" " What's a Brownie?" asked Tommy. "A Brownie is a magical little creature, which slips into houses very early before anyone is awake. It tidies toys, irons clothes, washes dishes and does all sorts of helpful things in secret," replied his mother. From The Brownie Story As many seven, eight and nine year-olds across the country could tell you, Brownies are magical little creatures, which come in the night and do secret good turns. They don’t ask for thanks or praise, they don’t expect payment. They simply come, do some chore that has been left undone, and then vanish to wherever they came from. But what else do we know about them? And what about Imps, Elves and Pixies? Gnomes, Sprites, and Ghillie Dhu? Not to mention Leprechauns, Kelpies and Bwbachod? This book tells stories of the hidden races. Imps at play, and Gnomes at work, Irish Leprechauns with their pots of gold and Scottish Kelpies who live in rivers and lakes. Read on and discover a whole new world! 3 Brownies The Brownie is a household creature. They are generally live in country houses, but have been known to appear in the city. They are friendly towards humans – though adults never see them.

  • The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by Pat
    A Special Thank You from the Alban to our Producer-Level Sponsor! The companies of the Bayer CropScience Institute Industrial Park are proud supporters of our local communities, where our neighbors and employees live and play. We salute the Alban Arts & Conference Center The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus By Pat Cook Based on the Book by L. Frank Baum Produced by special arrangement with Dramatic Publishing of Woodstock, Illinois Directed by Adam Bryan Still photography and video recording of this production strictly prohibited by law. For your own enjoyment and those around you, please turn off all mobile devices. Thank you, West Virginia Commission on the Arts and West Virginia Division of Culture and History for supporting the Alban’s 2013-2014 Season! Director’s Notes It’s been four years since I accepted the joyous task of transforming a historic movie house into a flourishing arts center . During this holiday season, I am especially pleased with my decision to move to this beautiful city and make a commitment to share any talent, knowledge or passion for theatre and the performing arts, that lives inside me, with members and supporters of the Alban arts community and the citizens of St. Albans. Before learning about the gift of sharing from L. Frank Baum’s Santa Claus, we must first acknowledge that the world is not always so generous and kind, and people can sometimes be big Awgwas. But just as Santa made the decision to claim and share a joyful attitude, so should we develop inner joy that can explode into something way bigger than any of us.
