We are a group of people that have some things in common;
The Hospitallers
The Templars
One of the oldest and most powerful myths of spiritual resurrection, ascension, and immortality is that of the phoenix. According to the Greeks, the phoenix was a divine bird that is born, grows old, and eventually builds its own funeral pyre on which it immolates itself. Although the body of the phoenix is consumed in the sacred fire and reduced to ashes, the phoenix does not die. It rises up from its own ashes and ascends in a blaze of spiritual glory to Heaven, where it attains true immortality.
Interpetation
As members of the SCA we see ourselves as a "Phoenix". The honor, nobility and chivalric nature of the "Middle Ages" is reborn in us. Our immortality is the legacy that we leave behind. If we can inspire one person to become better...more noble...we will have suceeded in our mission.

The 1st family gathering was June 20th, 1998, at the War of the Lilies XII. Click on Calontir's shield to see some photos of the activity. We survived the heat, the sun (check out Griffon's forehead), and a possible tornado but we had a great time. Please note this is a slow loading page. Very photo intense.
