When I found out that my Scottish ancestors, the McClains, were mercenaries for the MacDonald clan, I immediately had visions of myself as a fierce warrior woman on horseback!Patiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266018405604523361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842803704836145678.post-53074312194298549442008-06-16T15:05:00.000-04:002008-06-16T15:05:00.000-04:00Hmmm...I'll just send it to your email account!

Think about...I had friends whose names meant "butterfly" and "meadow" and there I was..."warrior." Still, I like it because it grants me permission to carry a sword. =)<BR/><BR/>On a more serious note, I really love this cameo image of yours, Patia. Let me know what you unearth through your research. One think I thought about -- which you may also find of interest -- is knowing that between the 13th-15th centuries, women belonged to something called the Chivalric Order of The Dragon. <BR/><BR/>Also, I wonder if your cameo could be a reference to Saint Martha. http://litthe.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/frm050v1Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16011604837842812858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842803704836145678.post-61930095551800188502008-06-16T04:16:00.000-04:002008-06-16T04:16:00.000-04:00I did not know Kelly meant warrior.

It had a female warrior with curly locks and a medieval helmet, upon which was perched a dragon. The dragon was very much "alive." Both looked fairly friendly. I would love to find out more about this!<BR/><BR/>It's interesting; this hero's (or heroine's) journey is something I've been studying both in terms of writing memoir and in the course I've been taking.Patiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266018405604523361noreply@blogger.com
