[Cynnabar] "The Dream" or "Magic" etc...

[Shoshana Jackson]

Master Zygmunt-

Thank you very much for sharing this story.  I would love to experience something like that.

The closest I come is Harvest of Souls 4(?) during feast.  The entire hall had been cleared of merchants and set up with tables draped in whatever finery the populace brought.  They turned off the overhead lights and the tables were lit entirely by candles.  We all were eating off our wooden or earthware plates and were served things in a very traditional way - not a CrockPot was in sight!  ...then, we adjourned and I got out my baroque flute to play for the dancers and there went that vision.  :p

My best-
  Chaya Simcha

It's been a little quiet.
 
So, what was the first time you had one of those "magic" moments in the SCA, when for just a second, you were not in our time any more? It can be anything at all.
 
Here's a couple to get the ball started:
 
One night, at Siege of Talonval 7: Just after sundown, three pavilions in a row, nothing mundane in sight, illuminated by torches.
My first field battle at Pennsic was a broken field battle, surrounded by Northwoods and Cynnabar, watching as the East and its allies approached. SLowly the amount of people I could see went down by thousands, to hundreds, to dezens, and then just the few in my vision. And as they slowly marched on, at first nothing happened but you could hear shouts and hear the clank of metal as they marched in. Then ballista bolts came in. One skidded along the ground by my feet. Followed by arrows, then just before the clash, javelins and hand axes whirled by my head.

Alternatively, whatr do you do to keep the dream or the magic alive? Is this even a concept you find useful.
 
Talk amongst yourselves. :)
