House Rising Moon
About the Household
House of the Rising Moon is a household in the SCA, The Society for Creative Anacronism. We are located in the Shire of Shattentor, in Rapid City, SD. Most of our members are located in Shattentor, but some of us have been scattered to the differant kingdoms for various reasons.
Our interests include dancing, brewing, sewing, carving, heavy fighting, rapier fighting, throwing weapons, and archery. There are 15 members currently, and we are slowely growing larger almost every year. The stories of how we were scattered are currently in the process of being gathered and stored for the enjoyment of all of our Household members.
Our House Overlord is Lady Elizabeth, MKA Jennifer Duba. She is the one to contact with any information reguarding anything that may pertain to this Household. I am Aisling Dubhcott, AKA Ashe, MKA Jessica Rosfeld. I am an emmisary to the Shire of Silfren Mere, in Rochester, MN.
Our current, active members are Jeni, CJ, Nate, Lana, Jesi, Brian and James. Our Asa and Dashiva are AWOL. There are still others; we have not "kicked"
anyone, but they haven't talked to us for awhile :(
We are willing to give any information to all who wish knowledge of our Household, please visit our yahoo group: House of the Rising Moon.
We have posts nearly daily, and a lot of discussion on what to do during our 'time off'... :)

You Know You`re in the SCA When...
you overhear the 10-year-old at the next picnic table quoting Macbeth... accurately.
you've ever been cooking and run out of galingale.
you spent more money this year on your period housing than your mundane housing.
there's an anvil in your bedroom.
your aerobics routine includes galliards
your university diploma is "tucked away somewhere" but your AoA is framed and on display on the most prominent wallspace in the house.
you yell "Huzzah" at mundane events instead of cheering "normally".
a sideless surcoat is the sexiest thing in your closet.
you can eat equally well with a dagger or a fork.
after a party you ask yourself: "Hm. Now where are my clothes?" and you're stone sober and fully dressed.
the axe you're using to chop wood is one you made yourself.
your future husband's wedding garb costs more than yours, and has more trim.
the books-on-tape in your car include: Cooking for 500 or more, Autocratting Pennsic, and Beginning Welsh.
buying black walnuts and ferrous sulfate from a health food store means a new "dye" not a new "diet".
you practice birth control religiously from All Saint's Day to Candlemas so that you won't be too pregnant to go to Pennsic.
the decorating scheme of your home is "bookcase eclectic".
you've brushed your teeth with beer, because it was easier to find than clean water.
after viewing this list, your non-scadian significant other chuckles for days, while you mutter to yourself, "I don't see what's so funny about that."
you have period garments for a black-tie event, but no mundane ones.
you heard two stories this evening that started "No sh*t, there I was..."
the words "couldst", "wouldst", and "shouldst" come more easily to your tongue than "chicken".
you consider wearing 3 different tartans at once to be high fashion.
everyone at your graduation wants to know where you learned to bow.

The Event was a smashing success!
The whole weekend went smoothly and without a hitch....until Saturday night.
It isn't a party until someone gets hurt, and that someone was Lana. From what I heard, Lana was walking either to or from the Tribe's camp, and twisted her foot... severely. It was x-rayed and diagnosed with two fractures...
Be thankful, Lana, that you aren't a horse.... :P

CJ was awarded his AOA, and Unfortunately, I was unable to get a picture of the event.. but that's ok... we have other pictures of him helping in the Kitchen. The food was all exquisite, and all of the royals were pleased with the menu.
We had entertainment from a few differant sources.. Ingus Moen did his impression of Mistress Windreth of Nordskoggen and her famous ballad "I Have Wedded This Blade". BUT before he did his wonderful impression, there was a small visitor.. His son, Ian.
The door was open slightly behind the head table, and Ian found his way inside. As he came looking for Daddy (Ingus), all of the royals fed him from the table.. He was running around, giggling, waving bread and dates in the air, while Katja (Ingus's wife and mother to Ian) stood at the door, watching in mock horror. Ingus ran after the little party crasher, finally nabbing him at the entrance by the Kitchen.
There were subtleties made in the form of a sword, a shield, a Stag and a Griffin. (hey, I think I did a good job on the stag and griffin)... We need to get them laquered and stored for future events. I will also post pictures of them when I get the chance.
More info will be posted about the event as I find time to post it.
Thank you.
