EN’S SAY

Sens Say March 2010
Greetings unto the Shire,
Well we still have a very busy year ahead, coming up in March there
is the River Haven Baronial on the 13th, our Ides of March Collegia on the 21st & 22nd and
archery on the 14th and 28th. I encourage everyone to attend as many events as they are able.
On the 11th April we are having a tidy & spruce up day for the hall at
9am. Please come along and help your space to keep looking nice.
Rowany Festival is not far away now. If you are attending, drive
safely and hope to see you there having a good time. If not, don’t despair, normal activities will
be continuing whilst the rest of us are away.
There are a number of offices up for replacement this year. I urge
anyone who has never held an office to examine the list of officers and which one/s they may
be able to takeover. There is a class on the Sunday of the Collegia which will give a quick rundown of each office and what is expected of it. I seriously urge you all to attend as the same
small group of people cannot be expected to keep doing these by themselves. We still need to
fulfill the Marshal office, so I am again calling for applications for group marshal. Please send
me your applications and I will forward them onto Siridean, Kingdom Earl Marshal.
Yours in service to the Shire

4. Did you know…
For all those attending Ides of March here is what we have learned so far:
In Russia (Rus) …….
In the 9th-13th cent. the most widespread material for shoes was wood bark and bast for lapti. But by the
10th cent., city dwellers and well-to-do peasants usually used leather, rawhide or tanned. The leather
industry was centered in the city and, in the 9th-13th cent. had not yet separated from the profession of
cobblers. In the villages, leather production was still a household activity. Ancient Rus had both thick
leather, yuft', and more thin leather, opoiku. They used skins of cattle, horses and goats.
Neither wooden carved-out shoes, so widespread in western Europe, nor felt shoes, were known in
ancient Rus.
Foot-wear can be a unique ethnic indicator of the mixed composition of the urban populations of ancient
Russia. For example, the peoples of the Volga Region of the 9-10th centries, that belonged to Finno-Ugric
group, bore unique cut porshni. Simple leather shoes were porshni (poraboshni, postoly, morshni)
[поршни, порабошни, постолы, моршни] They were made usually of one rectangular piece of rawhide
leather. Possibly, originally on this shoe was sewn even not of leather but the unprocessed skin of wild or
small domestic animals.

Onuchi are long (up to 2 meters) narrow strips of fabric wrapped around the lower leg. These were often
wrapped with the straps from the sandals, bast shoes, or porshni-postoli. It is possible that on the lower
part of the leg already in the 10-13th centuries were worn nagolenniki, nogovitsy [наголенник, ноговица
- leggings] In any case, the Arabian traveler Ibn Fadlan noted such gaiters in the clothing of the elite
Slavs buried in Bulgaria in the tenth century

Pizza has a long, complex and uncertain history that often inspires heated debate. The origin of the word
"pizza" is unclear, but it first appeared in 997 in Medieval Latin, and it was in Naples in the 16th century
that a galette flatbread was referred to as a pizza. At that time, the pizza was a baker's tool, a dough used
to verify the temperature of the oven. A dish of the poor people, it was sold in the street and was not
considered a kitchen recipe for a long time. Before the 17th century, the pizza was covered with white
sauce.
Galette is a general term used in French to designate various types of flat, round or freeform crusty cakes.
Unlike the traditional crêpe, the Breton galette is cooked on one side only. It is frequently garnished with
egg, meat, fish, cheese, cut vegetables, apple slices, berries, or similar ingredients.

Water clocks were affected by water temperature. That problem was solved in 976 by Zhang Sixun by replacing the
water with mercury, which remains liquid down to −39 °C (−38 °F). Zhang implemented the changes into his
clock tower, which was about 10 meters (33 ft) tall, with escapements to keep the clock turning and bells
to signal every quarter-hour. Another noteworthy clock, the elaborate Cosmic Engine, was built by Su
Song, in 1088. It had an automatically rotating armillary sphere—also called a celestial globe—from
which the positions of the stars could be observed. The clock towers built by Zhang Sixun and Su Song,
in the 10th and 11th centuries, respectively, were also the first to incorporate a striking clock mechanism,
the use of clock jacks to sound the hours. The earliest striking clock outside of China was the clock tower
near the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria, which struck once every hour. It was constructed by the
Arab engineer al-Kaysarani in 1154. The first geared clock was invented by the 11th-century Arab
engineer Ibn Khalaf al-Muradi in Islamic Iberia; it was a water clock that employed both segmental and
epicyclic gearing.
Sundials were further developed by Muslim astronomers. As the ancient dials were nodus-based with
straight hour-lines, they indicated unequal hours—also called temporary hours—that varied with the
seasons. Every day was divided into 12 equal segments regardless of the time of year; thus, hours were
shorter in winter and longer in summer. Ibn al-Shatir was aware that "using a gnomon that is parallel to
the Earth's axis will produce sundials whose hour lines indicate equal hours on any day of the year". His
sundial is the oldest polar-axis sundial still in existence. The concept appeared in Western sundials
starting in 1446.
In the early 14th century, the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri referred to a clock in his Paradiso;[100]
considered to be the first literary reference to a clock that struck the hours. The first timepieces to be
worn, made in 16th century Europe, were transitional in size between clocks and watches. These 'clockwatches' were fastened to clothing or worn on a chain around the neck. They were heavy drum shaped
cylindrical brass boxes several inches in diameter, engraved and ornamented. They had only an hour

hand. The movement was made of iron or steel and held together with tapered pins and wedges, until
screws began to be used after 1550. It should not be thought that the reason for wearing these early clockwatches was to tell the time. The accuracy of their verge and foliot movements was so poor, perhaps
several hours per day, that they were practically useless. They were made as jewelry and novelties for the
nobility, valued for their fine ornamentation, unusual shape, or intriguing mechanism, and accurate
timekeeping was of very minor importance. In 1577, Jost Burgi invented the minute hand. Burgi's invention
was part of a clock made for Tycho Brahe, an astronomer who needed an accurate clock for his stargazing.
Wassail:
–noun
1. a salutation wishing health to a person, used in England in early times when presenting a cup of drink or
when drinking to the person.
2. a festivity or revel with drinking of healths.
3. liquor for drinking and wishing health to others on festive occasions, esp. spiced ale, as on Christmas Eve
and Twelfth-night.
4. Archaic. a song sung in wassailing.
Origin:
1175–1225; ME was-hail, equiv. to was be (OE wæs, var. of wes, impv. of wesan to be; akin to WAS ) + hail HALE 1
in good health (< ON heill hale); r. OE wæs hāl be hale or whole. See WHOLE, HEAL
*From www.dictionary.com
British Christmas Traditions
Wassailing has been associated with Christmas and New Year as far back as the 1400s. Wassailing is a way of
passing on good wishes among family and friends....
Wassail is an ale-based drink seasoned with spices and honey. It was served from huge bowls, often made of silver
or pewter. The Wassail bowl would be passed around with the greeting, 'Wassail'.
There are three main ways of wassailing:
1. The filling of a common bowl or cup often referred to as a 'Loving Cup' and passing it around a room to
be shared.
2. Taking a bowl of Wassail around houses
3. A celebration of the apple harvest and the blessing of the fruit or trees.
Wassail gets its name from the Old English term “waes hael”, meaning “be well”. It was a Saxon custom that, at
the start of each year, the lord of the manor would shout ‘waes hael’. The assembled crowd would reply ‘drinc
hael’, meaning 'drink and be healthy'.
As time went on, the tradition was carried on by people going from door to door, bearing good wishes and a
wassail bowl of hot, spiced ale. In return people in the houses gave them drink, money and Christmas fare (special
foods eaten during Christmas time e.g. mince pies) and they believed they would receive good luck for the year to
come.
The contents of the bowl varied in different parts of the country, but a popular one was known as 'lamb’s wool'. It
consisted of hot ale, roasted crab apples, sugar, spices, eggs, and cream served with little pieces of toast. It was the
toast floating on the top that made it look like lamb's wool.

From: http://www.greek-gods.info/greek-gods/
Hera was born by the Titans Cronus and Rhea and was one of the three sisters of Zeus and later on became his wife as
well. The royal wedding of Zeus and Hera was celebrated with exceptional splendour and the couple gave birth to four
children; Eilithyia, the goddess who was protecting the childbirth, Ares, the Olympian god of war, Hebe, the goddess of
youth and Hephaestus, the Olympian god of metallurgy. According to some beliefs, Hephaestus was born without the
intervention of Zeus. Most of all, Hera was in conflict with the semi-god and hero Heracles, since he happened to be the
son of her husband Zeus and a mortal woman. According to a myth, Zeus once brought the infant to Hera to suckle on her
milk while she was asleep, but she suddenly woke up and thrust him away. The drops of the spurting milk became the
Milky Way. Hera was a beautiful-but not really desirable-, mature woman with big eyes and pierced lobes. She was wearing
an ornate crown on her head, elegant clothes woven by Athena and tightened with a belt, and golden sandals were
hugging her feet. Hera loved to wear jewellery and pamper her body with divine cosmetics.
Hera's symbol was the pomegranate, a symbol of fertility, and her sacred animal was the peacock.

Dionysus was born in Thebes as the son of Zeus, the King of the Gods and the beautiful princess Semele. Because of his
mortal mother, his birthplace Thebes refused to acknowledge him as an immortal at first. Dionysus was a god known for his
light-heartedness and always offered his help to anyone in need. He was therefore very popular among gods and mortals
and many festivals were being held every year in his honour. Nevertheless, Dionysus was many times misunderstood.
Dionysus was one of the Olympian gods who actually did not live in Mount Olympus but was constantly travelling around
the world together with Satyrs and Maenads in order to discover the secrets of winemaking. A handsome young man with
impressive hair (usually tresses falling below his shoulders) and a wreath of ivy on his head. In his hand he was holding a
"thyrsus", which was a light staff wrapped with leaves of ivy and a pine cone on its top. The sacred animal of Dionysus was
the panther. The Roman name of Dionysus is "Bacchus"
Zeus was the last child of the Titans Cronus and Rhea and had five older brothers and sisters. All of them had been
swallowed by their jealous father; however, Zeus managed to escape the menace and flee. Later on, he would revenge on
is father and set his siblings free. Zeus married his own sister Hera, the goddess of marriage and monogamy, but was
giving her plenty of reasons to be jealous, since Zeus was renowned of his numerous love affairs. As a result, Zeus was the
father of plenty of children. Zeus had his golden throne on the highest summit of Mount Olympus and was respected and
awed by all Gods and mortals.
He was the "Lord of Justice", punishing anyone who lied or broke an oath, but was fair and always striving to keep a
balance of all things. Furthermore, Zeus was responsible for the weather and was shaping it according to his temper. When
in high spirits, Zeus was blessing the world with fine weather; in case of bad mood, however, he would throw rain, winds,
lightning and thunderbolts to cause disaster to the mortals. But even Zeus' powers had their limits, for, however powerful
as he was, he had neither the right nor the ability to intervene the decisions of the Fates. Zeus was carefree and loved to
laugh out loud. He possessed the perfect knowledge and was just, merciful and prudent. However, he was rather
unpredictable, since no one could guess the decisions he would make.
Zeus was strong and imposing, with long, oftentimes curly hair. The main symbol of Zeus was the thunderbolt, which was
as a gift from the Cyclops because he liberated them. His sacred animal was the eagle. The Roman name of Zeus is
"Jupiter".
The three Fates: Clotho, Lacesis and Atropos
There were three Fates in Greek mythology: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. Clotho, the spinner, was the youngest of the
three Fates; she spun the thread of destiny with a distaff, determining the time of birth of an individual; Lachesis measured
the thread length to determine the length of life; finally, cruel Atropos cut the thread of life, determining this way the time
of death.
The Birth of the Muses
The Muses were nine goddesses presiding over the arts and the sciences, a group of nine very intelligent, beautiful and
careless divinities. They were created by Zeus, the King of the Gods, who secretly lied nine nights with Mnemosyne, the
goddess of memory. The Muses were brought to life to make the world disremember the evil and relieve the sorrows and to
praise the gods, and especially the Olympian Gods' victory over their ancestors, the Titans. Apollo was the main teacher of
the Muses. They were usually accompanying him and the Graces on their strolls and loved singing and dancing on soft feet
on laurel leaves, while Apollo was playing the lyre.
