[MysticMead]

my name....well... many years ago, I started brewing Mead... when I had developed a formula that was fit for human consumption I decide I need labels on the bottles...labels need a name to make them look right.. since mead making is part art, part science and part magik (a lot of the history of mead was passed from master to pupil along with a Magik stick that would cause fermentation.. later it was shown that the stick had yeast stuck to it..)... MysticMead was born.. I have used that as my user name on several site where my primary user name has already been taken (kaelan).. mysticmead is also the name of my brewing website...

those that know me also call me Ric

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

My name was chosen for me during a particularly rowdy night at the Devil's Canyon Brewery, prior to actually signing up as a member of our illustrious site. Originally it was The Flame-Haired Bloodthirsty Celtic Amazon Goddess, but for some odd reason, the Bloodthirsty kept getting dropped, therefore The F-H.C.A.G. (I am grateful to w2f for remembering the Bloodthirsty portion of my name most of the time.)

Be well,

I've been wondering what one does to mend weasels. I guess now I know.

And to avoid having need of the service, stay away from tr%$#@!s, also known as "weasel squeezers".

Very cool. My brother and I brew Mead also. Here is a picture of our logo.

[Ayin McFye]

Forgot to answer the Name question so here it goes. First off, my real name is Kris, and it has nothing to do with Ayin McFye.

15 Years ago I was "reborn" into the religion i am now (that's all I'm going to say about religion so don't ask) and I had to choose a name. I was flipping through a book, and I saw Ayin (Pronounced Eh-Yen I believe) The book had a bunch of tarot card stuff in it and Ayin was listed next to the "Tower" card in the tarot deck, so I just assumed that it was Latin for Tower. I liked it, so I went with it.


9 Years ago I joined the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronisms) and I had to choose a persona name within the Society. I went ahead and went with Ayin but I still had to choose a last name. My best friend in the SCA had a last name of McFye, and I thought it'd be cool to act like we're brothers. It turns out though that you actually have to register your name within the SCA and to do so you have to do research on it. So I decided i'd finally do some research on Ayin. OMG did I find a lot of information on Ayin. For a brief bit of info check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayin but to sum up, it's a letter in various alphabets, and has MANY meanings.

Also McFye is just a variant off of MacFie. For more info on that see... It's pretty cool. http://www.hss.caltech.edu/~mcafee/B...e/history.html

There is a bit more to it, but i think that about sums up the most important parts.

Cheers!
