[ANSTHRLD] Statant Erect Affronty

[radei at moscowmail.com]

Could you direct me to some examples of humans being used as a device.  I am curious as to how this is done, I would not have thought it acceptable.  But then What I do know of heraldry is mundane, and the rules seem different for SCA, So I have to unlearn what I thought I knew and learn the society rules.

I assume there is a database of registered devices, could you direct me to that?  Is it pictorial, or verbal?  I really want to learn more.

This we know: All things are connected.
Like the blood which unites one family,
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the earth,
Befalls the sons of the earth.
Man did not weave the fabric of life,
He is merely a strand on it.
