Thanks for joining me!

I am Lady Petra in rauða refr (Petra of the Red Fox), of the Barony of Steirbach in the Kingdom of Atlantia, This blog hosts my thoughts, projects, and experiences in my SCA journey.

For me, the SCA can be overwhelming, there is so much to do and to see (the entirety of the known world through 1600 is more than a little bit of ground to cover) that I sometimes find it difficult to find my path. I’m hoping that this blog will help me focus and keep me organized.

At this moment my persona is a general “viking” with the intent to pursue metalworking as a focus. I would like to also pinpoint down my persona to a specific region or time period.

I bake (not so much cook) and knit and sew. Very rarely do I reach far outside of those types of crafty outlets.

As such Metalworking is a very different field for me and seems such a daunting undertaking because it is manipulating what should be the strongest of structures. Add to that the main things needed to achieve your goal are fire and strength and I am completely outside of my realm of knowledge, but I’m excited to learn!

I hope that I am able to share what I learn and my processes with you, and look forward to this next part of my journey.
