ANSTEORRAN GAZETTE Iloi 2005-10 No ANSTEORRAN GAZETTE ILoI 2005-10 No. 10, Vol. 2005 AS XL, October 2005 Letter from Star Principal Herald ontributions Greetings to the Ansteorran College of Heralds from Honorable Lady Medb Liath! I pray this missive finds you well. ble from the Asterisk Herald respect the legal rights of our First, let me give word fame to my predecessor. Honorable Lord Etienne has done a wonderful job leading us over the past two years. He has given freely of his time and expertise to all of us, listened to our suggestions and concerns and given each one an open mind and due consideration. He has completed numerous small projects as they came across his desk and was still smiling at our last symposium. In all things, Etienne has conducted himself with a professionalism that bespeaks his strength of character. I look forward to his tenure as Sable Rondel and I expect that the transition of the offices will be smooth ones. Now, on to business! I am very excited about our new committment to education in the CoH and the good work that Tressure has planned. Etienne began this process with his outline for a complete re-organization of that office and I plan to continue on with even more emphasis on education and communication. While we do not yet know where Coronation or Round Table will be, I would like to strongly encourage all members of the CoH to consider attending one or both. Plenary meetings will be held at Winter Coronation and Round Table. The topics will be the same for both. Hopefully, this will give more people an opportunity to attend. I will post an agenda to the Ansteorran Heralds’ email list as the time draws nigh. all checks or money orders to: SCA, Inc.--Kingdom of Ansteorra.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See Coat of Arms of His Holiness Benedict XVI Armour bearings have been in common use by soldiers and the nobility since the Middle Ages. This has given rise to a very specific heraldic language to regulate and describe civic heraldry. At the same time, an ecclesiastical heraldry for clergy also developed. This heraldic usage follows exactly the same rules as civic heraldry with regard to the composition and definition of the shield, but surrounds it with religious or Church symbols and emblems according to one's ecclesiastical rank in Holy Orders, jurisdiction and dignity. There is an at least 800-year-old tradition for Popes to have their own personal coat of arms, in addition to the symbols proper to the Apostolic See. Particularly during the Renaissance and the centuries that followed, it was customary to mark with the arms of the reigning Supreme Pontiff all his principal works. Indeed, Papal coats of arms appear on buildings and in various publications, 2 decrees and documents. Popes often used their family shield or composed their own with symbols indicating their ideal of life or referring to past events or experiences, or even elements connected with specific Pontifical programmes. At times, they even added a variant to a shield that they had adopted on becoming a Bishop. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, elected Pope and taking the name Benedict XVI, has chosen a coat of arms rich in symbolism and meaning that transmits to history his personality and Pontificate. A coat of arms consists of a shield bearing several important symbols and surrounded by elements that indicate the person's dignity, rank, title, jurisdiction and more.

  • AN TIR Aine Paixdecoeur. Reblazon of Device. Or, a Natural Whale Naiant to Sinister Base Sable Between Two Bendlets Wavy All Between Two Roses Vert Seeded Or
    ACCEPTANCES Page 1 of 17 August 2005 LoAR THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED: AN TIR Aine Paixdecoeur. Reblazon of device. Or, a natural whale naiant to sinister base sable between two bendlets wavy all between two roses vert seeded Or. The whale was originally blazoned a sperm whale. The submitter contacted the College of Arms and indicated that the blazon was not acceptable; it was reblazoned simply as a whale on the Errata letter of 02/2005. We would have changed it back to a sperm whale, but for the submitter's preference. However, a whale with no other modifiers indicates a heraldic monster, which this is not. Therefore we have reblazoned it as a natural whale. Armatus Kamateros. Name and badge. Azure, a cross potent argent between six mullets of eight points in annulo Or. The submitter requested an authentic 10th C Byzantine name, but accepted no changes. Although the name Armatus is found in a list of Byzantine names, the source for that list tends to normalize and Latinize the names. AHM Jones, The Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire, A.D. 527-641 vol III, shows an example from a Greek inscription from 575/576 from Thrace; the spelling in the transcription would usually be transcribed as Armatos. If the submitter is interested in an fully Greek name, we suggest this spelling. Please advise the submitter to draw the cross larger, as befits a primary charge. Ása Starradóttir. Device. Argent, a reindeer salient contourny sable and on a chief gules three coronets argent. The submitter is a duchess and thus entitled to display the coronets.

  • Bringing Balance Feeding the Spirits
    With the present crisis around North Korea, the spirits have been whispering in my ears for many days about doing something ceremonial for the situation. Here, I am offering a ‘Bringing Strength to the Spirits Offering Ceremony,’ and a ‘Bringing Balance Ceremony’ using a drum. I will lay out the form of both ceremonies - you can either copy them, or ask your own spirits for your own ceremonies. The important thing is you do something, if you feel moved to. As I go, I will explain how my ceremonies can be adapted, if you don’t have the same ritual equipment I do. A LITTLE BACKGROUND About five years ago I had a ‘big dream.’ In this dream I was working with a group of Mongolian shamans - a group I have worked with many times in my dreams. We were gathering together in Mongolia to do a ceremony and some healings, as we have before, when all of a sudden, a very ragged figure walked across the grassy steppe to us. When he reached us, he told us he was a shaman from North Korea, and he had walked across China to come to us to ask us for our help. We talked to him and he explained the spirits of the Korean people were in trouble, and so we went with him, in a group, to North Korea, and there met Generals in the Korean government. The Generals were very distressed, because they knew - on a very deep level - that they were on a road to nowhere with their regime, and they also knew they had separated themselves from the spirits of the land and their ancestors, and their sacred ways.
