Mistress Margrethe Astrid Ravn, OP, ORL
Baroness of the Court of the West

Argent, in pale three
bird's heads erased sable,
two flaunches azure semy
of pearls argent.

Mundanely Known as Meg Heydt:

I was first introduced to acting by my uncle, a longtime member of the San Francisco Lamplighters. I thought all stage plays were like Gilbert and Sullivan or Shakespeare, except for school plays that were always about Christmas. Fortunately my drama-loving friends educated me before I made a complete fool out of myself (or maybe they didn't.) With the Golden Stags, I found the only place where ego and acting didn't conflict with explosive results, giving me a chance to actually get lines and play a main character. For the most part, I spend my days in front of a computer trying to help other techs in my call center resolve problems. Covers rent and cat food. In October, 2006, Meg married D. Creelman (aka Walkyr, SCA: Donovan Sinklar).

My parents met, married, and raised me in an SCA environment. I've never known life without it, which makes life both interesting and dangerous. Certainly cut into my weekends... In any event, I'm a herald, a sometime poet and singer, an aspiring costumer and probably a lot more, but this is a family website.
