Clan Blue Feather

2008-12-12T07:14:31Z

Eldwin Nightowl: added Caid

''' Clan Blue Feather''' is a large open [[household]] within the [[SCA]] dedicated to [[education]] and research on [[homosexuality]] in the [[Middle Ages]] and the [[Renaissance]], and to teach other members of the [[Society]] about homosexuality in the [[Current Middle Ages]].

The Clan also exists as a social organization, to facilitate interaction among the [[member]]s of the SCA, especially those who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual.

Unlike some SCA groups Clan Blue Feather has no official leader, or group of leaders. Group activities are organized by consensus or by an interested person. Particular events and gatherings may have certain people in charge, but this is only in the context of that event. There is no official "leader of Clan Blue Feather."

Members are united solely by a common interest, and not necessarily a common sexual orientation. They include:

* Those with an interest in homosexuality in the Middle Ages
* Those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered (GLBT)
* Family, friends and supporters of the above
* Those who simply want to meet, camp with, or otherwise socialize with other members

The [[College of Arms|registered]] [[badge]] of the Clan is ''[[Argent]], a [[feather]] [[azure]]''. By [[custom]] and [[tradition]], LGBT members of the Clan wear a badge with a '''dark blue feather''', while straight family, friends and supporters wear a '''light blue feather'''. Simply wearing a blue-dyed feather '''IS NOT''' an identifying mark.

The Clan has a [[Royal]]ly [[charter]]ed [[Guild]] in the [[Kingdom of East|East Kingdom]] and in [[Caid]].

Cloved lemon

2008-12-12T07:06:59Z

Eldwin Nightowl: fixed spelling, updated reference

'''Cloved lemons''', also referred to as '''Cloven lemons''' or '''Clove lemons,''' are often handed around at [[feast]]s or [[camping event]]s. Love it or hate it, the '''Cloved lemon kissing game''' is a [[tradition]] that is engrained in [[SCA]] culture, and has been adopted by other groups, including Discordians and Harmonians. In most of the [[USA]] [[Kingdom]]s the use of cloved lemons had fallen out of favor, but seems to be enjoying a resurgence.

==Cloved Lemons in Practise==
Here's what happens:

Someone approaches you with a cloved lemon. You can do one of several things.
# Take the cloved lemon.
# Politely refuse the cloved lemon.

If you choose ''option 1'', you take a [[clove]] out of the [[fruit]] with your teeth (or occasionally fingers - see local customs). The taste of the clove will be very strong. Stronger if you bite on it, and may make your whole mouth go numb. The clove is anecdotely supposed to freshen your breath. You (or possibly the lady) then indicate to the person who gave you the fruit where to kiss you (check local customs) - often the hand, cheek or lips, it depends on your comfort level with the person who gave it to you. You then find another victim - oops! person to pass it on to.

If you choose ''option 2'', and there is NO shame at all in doing this. It is not impolite to refuse a cloved lemon, and your decision is respected (and often understandable). There is, of course, the other option - whenever you hear mention of a cloved lemon being passed around, to just avoid it like the [[Black Death|Plague]] and hide somewhere.

Also, note that [[custom]] may vary depending on where you are (see section below). It can be quite important to find out what the local variants are, or you may find yourself embarrassed with more attention than expected. Feel free to indicate verbally what level of intimacy you are comfortable with.

==Why do we use cloved lemons?==
In many cultures in the SCA's [[period]], you wouldn't wander up to a stranger and introduce yourself. You were introduced by a third party. This is a little too rigid for our [[modern]] society. So in some sense, we have taken the third party and made it a lemon.

==How did this get made up?==
There's plenty of [[mythology]] about this. There is little doubt that the [[medjeeval]] cloved lemon kissing game was created in the 20th Century (in 1974, [http://www.florilegium.org/files/ENTERTAINMENT/cloved-fruit-msg.html some say]), but it strikes a resonance because it bears ''some'' simularity to a few period items and practises, just enough that people keep trying to search for the period origins of this practise.

In a French custom from the time of the Crusades, a knight could impress a lady by giving her a citrus fruit, often a lemon, that was pierced by whole cloves. Both citrus fruit and cloves were extremely expensive, so it made an impressive gift.

According to Alexandre sur le Mer, this practice was an inspiration for Alizaunde de Breguef, who may have made the first cloved lemon for kissing in A. S. VIII. This was in the Canton of the Towers, Barony of Carolingia of the East Kingdom.

The cloved lemon is sometimes referred to as a "cloven lemon," which would literally mean a lemon that is split.

While this phrase seems to be an error, this usage may be a reference to an original source. In William Shakespeare's comedy ''Love's Labour's Lost'', first published in 1598, the following dialog is found in Act V, Scene II (numbers indicate lines in the play):

DON ADRIANO DE ARMADO 
672 The armipotent Mars, of lances the almighty, 
673 Gave Hector a gift,-- 

DUMAIN 
674 A gilt nutmeg. 

BIRON 
675 A lemon. 

LONGAVILLE 
676 Stuck with cloves. 

DUMAIN 
677 No, cloven. 

==Local customs within the SCA==
*In some areas of Lochac (noted in NSW colleges) significance is given to different varieties of cloved fruit. For example cloved grapes, cloved watermelons, cloved bananas. The various fruit are supposedly symoblic of different sexual acts (as the lemon is to kissing), although this is likely more for teasing value than a serious proposition. In other places, different types of cloved fruit are used just for variety.
*There are two traditions about who gets to choose the location of a kiss - is it the lady of the pair, or the recipient of the lemon. The first is more chivalric towards ladylike ladies, but allows them to exploit vulnerable males. The second is more useful in our modern world where a lady is as likely to receive a lemon from another lady as from a man, and appears to be the most commonly used. Enquire locally.
*In one area (unknown) significance is given to the way the clove is removed from the lemon
# Remove a clove from the lemon orally & swallow it.
# Remove a clove from the lemon orally & bite it, but not swallow.
# Remove a clove from the lemon orally & neither bite nor swallow it.
# Remove a clove from the lemon manually.
Option 1 indicates that you expect the giver to attempt to retrieve the clove (a more intimate kiss than some may be interested in). Option 2 generally indicates a rather friendly kiss on the mouth than option 3. Option 4 indicates a kiss on the hand may be expected.

==Related practises==
*Citrus may have been covered in [[spice]]s to serve as a [[pomander]]
*Citrus fruit were expensive gifts in the [[12th century|12th]] to [[14th century]], as they were not native to [[Europe]], rather luxuries brought back by [[Crusade]]rs
*Cloves ''may'' have been used to sweeten the breath in [[medieval]] times (proof needed)
*Kissing [[game]]s did occur in medieval times.
