She turned me into a newt!

About Me


Really this is about us--the MARSHLORDS. We're SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) scalawags and wenches. You'll find us gathered at SCA events, Celtic celebrations and Irish pubs! UISGEBEATHA forever! SLAINTE! Health and good cheer to you and yours! Watch out for Conchobor--he's a bad influence!

My Interests


Medieval re-enacting, camping, ren faires, history, reading, anything Celtic or Nordic, following the Celtic Wheel of the Year, swords, claymores, rapiers, axes, maces, flails, pikes, spikes, spears, daggers, war hammers, archery . . . yeah, sharp pointy things . . . drumming, brewing, alchemy, making shields, leatherwork, building ballista (one of these damn days) and any other dangerous activities like fairy dusting the unsuspecting.

I'd like to meet:

The lovely Lavinia and captivating Kathy . . . oh wait, we met them :) Any other SCA personalities or those interested in SCA. Halt! Who goes there? The Black Knight! On the night of a new moon, we'd salute the Headless Horseman. On the night of a full moon, we'd find Ritchie Blackmore playing his guitar at the fire and wanting to quaff mead with the Marshlords. And any others who want to warm themselves at our fire!

Ask a question if you dare!
