Nesscia's Sign/Silent Heraldry

These are signs used in the Society for Creative Anachronism.

When making these videos, I consider beginning Sign/Silent Heralds, as well as those who have been signing a while. Particularly the new people in areas of isolation. These videos are hopefully giving people options to learn the signs we use. If you have questions or comments, please leave a note.

As a rule of thumb, if there is a sign already in existence, don't invent one. (i.e. KING in ASL or SAGE in Native American sign language for ARTEMISIA) There are sign resources on line and in libraries that can be searched.

If you need to invent a sign, ask a Deaf person, look at heraldry, and think about what the word means.

There are many Sign/Silent Heralds throughout the Known World who have provided feedback for making these videos. Without their help, the videos would not have been possible. Thank you one and all!
