Greetings Thunder Family,

The lady who's message is below is researching the history of the knights 
oaths of the many Kingdoms of the SCA. I thought we could give her a hand by 
passing this message along to all of our various kingdom E lists.

Thanx

Greetings unto my most noble cousins,

In the modern world, I attend Oregon State University and am doing my 
doctoral work on knight's ritual and regalia in the SCA. I am interested in 
getting copies of knight's oath's and rituals as far back as possible. My 
specific focus is how traditions are created and how they change over time. 
Of course, being able to combine studying Tolkien and the SCA is bonus. :D I 
would be happy to share my research with you once my work is done.

In order to do this, I will need copies of knight's oaths and rituals back 
to the beginning. I have found the West's site (thank you!) and it's very 
helpful information. To compile this information, I require help and 
assistance. This is where ! you come in. The SCA is absolutely lovely about 
helping out. :D If you would be so kind as to email any knight's oaths, 
rituals to this email (althea at alfalfapress.com ), I would be ever so 
grateful. Or they can be snail mailed to:

Althea Turner
Department of Design and Human Environment
Milam 224
Oregon State University
Corvallis, OR 97333

Please note when, where and who the ritual/ oath was for and if I may 
contact the knight for more information.

Would it be possible to forward this missive to the Chiv lists and other 
pertinent lists? I am very interested in other kingdoms also. It is 
important that I get a cross-cultural look at the topic. I will
be going to Estrella to start collecting information and to make contacts. 
If you know of someone going to Estrella that you think I should meet and 
talk to, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for any aid and assistance you can render in this most 
noble cause!

I remain your humble servant,
