The radar shows that it is going to rain all day, so I am going to cancel practice this week.
Practice will resume as normal next week May 14.
There will be no practice Sunday May 21 due to War Practice.

In person sewing Sunday May 7th 2-5pm
In person sewing at my house this Sunday and most every Sunday, except war practice. Sewing is from 2pm to 5pm at 1105 Shady Ave, Pittsburgh, 15232. We really really really need scroll cases. I have plenty of cardboard, fabric, table space, sewing machines and a serger, a power cutter for cardboard and scissors for fabric. This is an urgent call. Iris festival is in 5 weeks and we need scroll cases. Furthermore, so does the kingdom. I’d like to be able to donate some to the kingdom at war practice and possibly at iris festival. You can bring cardboard or fabric, but you must take any unused with you. I’m full here. I will also collect empty scroll cases to return them to the barony. You can also give them to the signet Rachel or the Baron or Baroness.
Although the sewing focus for the next few weeks is scroll cases, if you want help sewing Japanese or something else, please stop by.
Just a reminder, the marathon is this weekend. The route from fight practice to my house should open between 1:30 and 2pm on Sunday.
Practice Sunday 4/30/23
Though the forecast seems to be against us, I still hope to hold practice on Sunday. I am currently out of town, so I am leaving it up to Sir Bors to make the call for weather. Hope to see folks Sunday.

Calling all Vikings!
Long ago when the Debatable Lands were newly settled, a group of Viking Age enthusists came together to discuss all things Viking. This Vikingr group lasted many years and even ran events such as the fabled Vetr Things. Sadly, Vikingr faltered as its members passed into memory or out of the Society. However, interest in Viking Age Scandinavia is not gone.
Norse of the next generation, do you want to restart Vikingr?
This group would meet once a month in person on the North side. We would discuss topics related to Viking Age Scandinavia, with a bent towards historical practice and living history.
Víkingr would be a place to:
- Discuss the latest archeology
- Show off your Norse-themed recreations
- Share your latest research rabbit holes
- Plan museum trips
- Bounce around ideas for projects
- Find ways to enhance your Norse persona
- Host a book club for the Sagas
- Watch and discuss videos from museums and Viking Age reenactors around the world
- Swap resources
- Play hnefatafl
- Sail the North Sea*
Interested? Contact Hrefna on the Discord server or email (see the Dark Pages or contact Baroness Hilda for her email.)
*Longship not included
Practice Sunday 4/16/23
I am still planning to hold practice tomorrow 2pm to 6pm at the park. We might get rained out though. I will post to social media if that is the case.
