[ANSTHRLD] Permission to conflict??

[radei at moscowmail.com]

All Heraldry everywhere was made up sometime.  It is an Archaic form that has very little real world purpose at this point.

part of The orginal idea was to identify an individual when most people could not read, you didn't want one of your own guys lopping your head off in battle by mistake.  Even many Royal were illiterate, they had people to do that for them, so why waste time learning something that someone else can do for you, that is what servants are for.

If most of us used all of the real world heraldry were have right to bear, the shield would have to be 1000's of feet wide just to have cantons large enough to recognise.

Personal observations only.  Intended as nothing 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.
