I am starting with online work, which will hopefully eventually lead to practical demonstrations and exhibits.<br />Please check back as I solidify the structures, aims and lists of fellow guild-members. Separate guilds will have guild-leaders who are appropriately skilled, with all work non-gender specific. Practical non-Pagan craft information will be supplied as well as magical and mythical aspects, websites and book lists. I will try and post all information in both English and French when it&rsquo;s available.<br />A special thanks to Ethos organizers and attendees, since this idea formed while sitting a table of wonderful conversations!<br />Aislinn,<br />Pagan Guild of Ancient Arts, founder<br />Hall of Tribes, co-founder<br />Caer Avalon, founder<br />**********************************************************8<br />GUILDS:<br /><strong>Bardic </strong><br />Includes poetry, storytelling, history, songs, dance and drumming<br /><strong>Blacksmithing</strong><br />Includes both blacksmithing and silversmithing, swordsmithing&hellip;<br /><strong>Farming/Hunting</strong><br />Includes crops, herds and ancient hunting practices<br /><strong>Handcrafts</strong><br />Includes beading, personal adornments, decorative patterns<br /><strong>Hearth Arts</strong><br />Includes baking, cooking&hellip;<br /><strong>Healing Arts</strong><br />Includes herbal remedies, natural remedies and charms.<br /><strong>Magical Arts</strong><br />Includes rites of passages, rituals, charms.<br /><strong>Weaving <br /></strong>Includes spinning and loom work, sewing, embroidery<br /><strong>Woodwork<br /></strong>Includes carving, furniture-making.<br />*<br />In honour of Brighid of the Fire in the Head<br />and<br />Lugh Samh-ild&aacute;nach , Skilled in Many Crafts</p><p>Contact: <a href="mailto:paganguild@yahoo.com">paganguild@yahoo.com</a></p><p>Copyright 2008<br />We cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy of any information found on these pages or associated links.
