Just a reminder–we currently have on display an exhibit of handwritten and handmade materials. Come check out these marvels of penmanship and artistry!
The exhibit will be open for one more month–we look forward to seeing you! In the meantime, check out this manuscript which beautifully details the heraldry of the court of King Arthur.

Galahad and Ceridwen
In Welsh mythology, Ceridwen is a sorceress who has a magical cauldron that is associated with changes and rebirth. In another legend, the cauldron of rebirth appears with Bran the Blessed. You could say that the cauldron, a Celtic symbol, is the original basis for the grail legend.
And if you don’t follow this blog, I depict Galahad as a girl! Because why not (no, really, there’s no motive, just that I decided “why not”).
