The Home of the Warriors - The Warriors' Feast Website by Meredyth
The Meredyth website - My Artwork & Reenactment site
In addition to my main profession I am devoted to certain areas of interest, which have become integral parts of me.
I call myself a disciple of the sword, having studied swordsmanship in many ways for more than 20 years now (among them fencing, kendo, iaido, S.C.A. fencing, and historical longsword and sword and shield).
Then I do some works as an amateur artist, whenever my time schedule permits such distractions. I draw, paint, and occasionally do some computer graphics. I have also written some short stories, but all this is pure hobby and done simply for the fun of it.
I do some "serious" reenactment in the Viking age along with my family. Also, I am busy organizing the WARRIORS' FEAST, a regular open air hardcore fantasy party, which I founded in 1990. If you are interested, you are welcome to visit the websites, following the links above and below.
As a person, I am very dedicated and creative; this MySpace site I devised mainly to support some friends in the music genre and to draw interest to my main topics. With the time I come to realize how much fun it is to get in contact with interesting people from all over the world, but it might take some time for me to response, so don't worry.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

In person: Neil Gaiman, David DeFeis, Frank Frazetta, J.R.R. Tolkien, King Arthur (the last two being dead, this will be quite difficult). Anybody else? Let's see...
So I welcome all true Metal Warriors, to meet them here or outside on the battlefield or in the halls of fame, the brothers and sisters of metal and ladies strange and beautiful; pagans and witches, who are open-minded and tolerant; disciples of the sword and enthusiasts who relish in the barbaric-romantic Spirit, as dreamed of by true artists like Robert E. Howard, Frank Frazetta and David DeFeis - May the Gods be with you!
