Membership Fees: Activities: The Society for Creative Anachronism is an international non-profit organisation dedicated to the study and recreation of pre-17th century Western Civilisation (Middle Ages and Renaissance). There's a place for those who enjoy history and research, those that get a kick from "medieval fighting" and those that just love a good revel. There's a place for Vikings, a spot for Crusaders and another for Celts, Persians and Renaissance. Any culture from Western Europe or its influential neighbours between 600 and 1600 AD. SCA activities include dancing, calligraphy, fighting, cooking, metalwork, stained glass, costuming, literature, brewing... what ever you can imagine. If you find an area of period endeavour not being studied yet, you can always start and foster interest in others! |
