[Artemisia] Religion in the SCA (a new can of worms)

[raedwulf]

Crosses were used in Heraldry and many people wear them, that's true, but
that's also a personal choice!!!!  I would not wear one, not even for a site
token (and I am EXTREMELY open minded).  It was not my persona's religion,
and it is not mine now.  I would not be too offended, but it would end up in
my basket, not on me.
