    By Nancy Salvato
    May 18, 2004 It's a common trait of every generation to wax nostalgia about the way things were. Just last week my husband and I were pouring over a website called Tick Tock Toys-Archives and Galleries, a cavalcade of images and ideas http://theimaginaryworld.com/page4.html . We were having a lot of fun remembering Libby's Fruit Float, Wacky Packs, Space Food Sticks, Frito Bandito erasers, and...well, I could go on and on. For us, the 1970s was a good time to be a kid growing up. We could walk outside at any given moment and find other kids who wanted to play. We'd be out all summer digging in sandboxes, building forts, and playing Running Bases. We'd spend whole afternoons at the pool diving into the water, playing Marco Polo, and doing underwater handstands until we had to come up for air. Evenings would slip into darkness as we ran around playing Flashlight Tag. Our socializing was only interrupted by the ringing of the dinner bell, and after eating with the family we'd be right back with our friends riding bikes, shooting baskets, and playing Hide N Seek

    Jousting
    Jousting is a competition between two knights on horse -back, wherein each knight tries to knock the other off his mount. Jousting was popular in medieval times, although it is still performed in Renaissance fairs. The knghts are each equipped with three weapons; a lance , a one handed sword , and a rondel. When one knight knocks the other off of his mount, he is declared the winner of the round. If both knights are knocked off their mounts at the same time, it is considered a tie; they then engage in sword combat, and the last standing is victorious. The knights usually jousted in a best out of three situation. The reward of the tournament was the hand of his choice of lady. Modern-day jousting competitions feature riders on horseback attempting to thread a lance through a ring. The rings become smaller as the competition progresses; riders who fail to capture a ring are eliminated until a winner is determined.

    BROTHER PERARDUA
    With the Seven Lances
    That He Brake
    (A.A. publication in class C)
    He slayeth Sir Argon le Paresseux Now Brother Perardua, though he was but a Zelator of our ancient Order, had determined in himself to perform the Magnum Opus, and to procure for himself one Tincture of Double Efficacy. Not fully did he yet comprehend the Mysterium of our Art, therefore imposed he upon himself the painful sevenfold regimen. For without the Bell of Electrum Magicum of Paracelsus how should, the adept even give warning to the Powers of the Work of his entry thereunto. Yet our brother, being of stout heart- for he had been a soldier in many distant lands- began right cheerfully. His head that was hoary with eld he crowned with five petals of white lotus, as if to signify the purity of his body, and went forth into that place where is no field, nor any furrow therein; and there he sowed a scroll that had two and twenty seeds diverse. He slayeth Sir Abjad the Saracen Nor for all his care and labour could he gather therefrom more than seven planets, that shone in the blackness; and each plant beareth a single blossom that hath seven petals© one would have thought them stars; for though they were not of a verity in themselves brilliant and flashing, yet so black was that wherein they grew that they seemed brighter than suns. And these were placed one above the other in a single line and straight, even according unto seven centers of his intention that he bare about him in the hollow tube that hath thirty and two joints.

    Jousting Days
    If you had planned a visit to Gwrych Castle between the early 1970's to the middle of the 1980's you couldn't have escaped the strange warriors wandering around the Castle, bursting into fight with the sound of a pin drop. The most respected was the Black Knight. Who can be seen below ready to strike.
    The Black Knight.
    The most fearsome warrior from the whole of Camelot. If you saw this Knight walking towards you, you'd better start running or escape into the Castle until he'd passed.
    The sight of a knight on horse back, trotting up stables lane, left a lasting impression that bought people back year after year.
