A blog highlighting Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) devices and arms designed by Hubert de Stockleye (aka Wulfhere of Eofeshamme) of the Shire of Amlesmore in the Kingdom of Calontir. In addition to the devices showcased are links to heraldry sites that teach the basics of heraldry, sites with heraldric art, as well as blank shields for use in designing devices. And then there are posts about anything that interests me dealing with the modern middle ages.

SCA Heraldry for Non-Heralds
Being a shire herald I wanted to do something to help educate the members of my shire on the basics of heraldry. In Calontir we are encouraged to teach classes not only for other heralds and those interested in heraldry, but the populace as well. This not only helps the populace understand heraldry, but also helps heralds by giving them clients that understand the process of registering a name, device, or badge. I have been blessed with a shire enthusiastic about registering names, devices, and badges, so I wanted to do something back for them. In Amlesmore we all try to help each other by offering our skills to other members, and my particular skill is heraldry. I decided to share online my basic class on devices and badges I plan to teach it this spring in the hope it helps other local heralds design classes for their shires and baronies. Feel free to share the pdf with others, and I encourage other heralds to share their educational material online as well. Lets share the love of heraldry with all who will listen. You can read and/or download the pdf of my class at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7QAAWCzpY65WG9aRTRHUXo2SGM/view?usp=sharing
