Personal opinion, first. The folks in the SCA use badges in ways that are not
consonant with period usages.<snip>
this is a good thing to remember, but the idea was that we are all this
multitude of people- but if we were to all be attending an event, how would we
know? This list is amazingly huge- from all over the Known World. Wouldn't
be nice to go to an event and see a symbol on someone's belt or in their
encampment and be able to go up and say "hi, look me too!" and put a name to a
face? and if you add in the cathedral puns this does end up being similar to
a military/religious order ;) sort of like the scallop shell on all the
pilgrims. This is a pilgrimage of sorts- all of us from all over the map
conversing and sharing- good and bad, but constantly reminding eachother of
why we "play"
<snip>
I can think of several symbols that are cooking related, and yet quite
medieval. Anyone want a saint's martyr's symbol, the gridiron? Old Marian
<snip>
why a salamader and cheese? well it started with snails see, and
degenerated... I kinda like the alchemic insinuation.
I am going to search the SCA armorial to try to avoid conflicts, and attempt
to draw something up this evening. I am not so bold that I will submit it,
but I would be honored to be included in such a group.
