The Tuatha de Bhriain is a re-creation society founded in 1986 that attempts to re-enact the spirit and material culture of 5th century Ireland. While we are not officially associated with the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism), several of us are also members of that organization, and attend some SCA events.

Otto set up his table, candles, and lanterns with the help of his two brothers Philip and Harold. Trelvis placed his sconce on the table and lit a kerosene fire that drove back the darkness. The sconce fire was not noticed by our neighbors who made several comments about the Clan Bhriain, Trelvis, and the three foot flames illuminating our site.

A most joyous occassion for all, officiated by Christianna MacGraine, at which the voice of Katrina was heard from afar as if by magic, music by many musicians lightened the hearts, and a feast that will not soon be forgotten was enjoyed by all. Many members were, sadly, not in attendance at this event.
