Welcome

I am Baroness Betha. I have been in The Society for Creative Anachronism for over 22 years. I currently live in The Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands in the Kingdom of Aethelmearc, but spent my first 14 years in the Kingdom of Atlantia. I have always enjoyed learning new crafts, and since I have been in The Society I have found many new things to learn! I enjoy sharing my knowledge, so I have created these pages. 

This web site displays some of my arts and sciences, some basic instructions and the history behind them.  These pages are just meant to give an overview of many types of arts and sciences and do not replace entire books on their subjects. Please read additional information before proceeding on your own, since some of these arts and sciences can be dangerous. Please be very careful and safe.  This is a continuing work in progress, since there is always something new to know and share.

You can contact me by sending e-mail to Helene AT AncientWire DOT com
