Memories
The Ghost of Sirenia Tourney (From Oldenfeld’s newsletter The Lion’s Tale, July 1977, AS XII) June 24/26 at Pensacola Beach. Lady Ellysonne of Arrowwood and Eric of Skaan traveled to the shores of Sirenia for a truly enjoyable event. The festivities commenced with a production of the raising of the Ghost of Sirenia. The one-time seneschal’s body was borne to a table alongside a huge bonfire. Various measures were attempted in order to raise his spirit: a friar intoned Latin over him, Xigunder “Baptist preacher-ed” over him and then the ladies of Sirenia kissed him, finally bringing him to life. Each Sirenian then struck a dummy with an antique sword loaned by Viscount Sir Francois, the dummy was thrown into the fire, and a bottle of wine was passed around ceremoniously. All present then danced in a circle. A good thick meat stew was served for dinner Friday night followed by breakfast the next morning of bread, cheese and fruit in yogurt. The feast Saturday consisted of a very tasty fare: Shis-ka- bob, grilled chicken in soy sauce, Chinese vegetables, fresh mushroom soup, curried rice and home brewed mead. No court or lists were held at this event. However, several games were played, most notably SCA SWAT. This consisted of a foray through the WWII bunkers the morning of the 25th with machine guns and hand-held cap pistols (all the necessary weapons were designed from a vision related by Viscount Sir Francois).
