There’s many jokes to be made about marriage here, so I’m going to ask y’all to sit down about that.
But, in short, in the last year, I’ve started the process of making my late husband “Larger than Life” in the SCA (I mean, aside from dragging him for filth with his hoarding, I guess), and wanted to start a sort of ongoing A&S project on Folk Saints.
After being poked and prodded by local friends to go ahead and make this so, especially since I creeped nobody out on social media by pouring him a pint of Guinness or Dr. Pepper, there is now a website devoted entirely to the Cult of St. Jeff the Moneyer. We already have some traction, even with folks that did not know him, and so far I’m very pleased at how this is being received.
Feel free to take a look here at its dedicated website: www.saintjeff.annasrome.com
I’m sure there is going to be a corner of the population that is very not-okay with this, and that is your choice. The veneration of folk saints is incredibly period, and honestly this is a practice I think that the SCA could have a lot of fun with. Obviously I’m still working out details, this is a living project, not a one-and-done deal. So anticipate changes and updates overtime as more people become involved with this “cult”.

yannow, in An Tir, Her Serene Highness the Dowager Princess Janeltis was turning into a folk saint.
In Kingdom, she’s the only person to keep their precedence after death.
For a long time, she would be mentioned at the closing of court with “Long Life to Janeltis”… til she came to swear fealty at a 12th Night (at 99 or 100?) and asked the SCA to stop because such a cheer “was working”
After her death, the cheer changed to “Peace to Janeltis” til her (very mundane) family asked us to stop because they thought it was “creepy” and “cult-like.”
People will do the thing.

I love this, actually. I can also see how creepy it can be to people, but thankfully his family is onboard with my shenanigans.
