Welcome to Wyrmgeist!
Greetings
from the folk of the Awesome Shire Wyrmgeist! Wyrmgeist is a group within
the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) which is a non-profit educational
organization which is dedicated to researching, teaching, and recreating
the lifestyles, trades, crafts, sciences, arts, traditions, literature,
clothing, and other aspects of the cultures of the Middle Ages. The
time period in which the SCA focuses in primarily pre-17th century (prior
ot 1600 AD) Western civilization with a strong focus on the Western European
High Middle Ages.
Wyrmgeist
(German meaning Dragon Ghost/Spirit) is located in the southern part of
the Prinicpality of Gleann Abhann within
the Kingdom of Meridies. If your map does not
have locations such as these, you will find Wyrmgeist listed as Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. Our group is very active locally, and has members who hold offices
at both the Principality and Kingdom levels. Our members come from many
areas within and outside of East Baton Rouge Parish, including Livingston
Parish, Ascension Parish, St. Helena Parish, and East Feliciana Parish.
You don't have to be a member to come and play with us, and we'd love to
see you! We dress in medieval style clothing and engage in armored combat
and practice arts, crafts, trades and other aspects of the Middle Ages
right here in Baton Rouge. We are quite sure you will find our "Current
Middle Ages" to be great entertainment!
There is
a lot of information on this website about who we are and what we do. If
you are new to the SCA, the "Newcomers" link was made just for you. It
is filled with lots of great information about the ins and outs of the
SCA. If you would like to meet some of the people in the local group in
Baton Rouge, click the "Activities" link. You are more than welcome to
join us at any of our activities. Just click the links to the left, and
learn more about the SCA and the Shire of Wyrmgeist! Oh yeah, please be
sure to read the disclaimer.
