Orla O'Shannahan, Award of Arms

Orla dances like the river in the sun

She lightens the burdens of others

And gives the hungry to eat

Her hands flow with gold and silver

Orla o’Shannahan has served in many ways

We note her assistance in the kitchen

The banners and pewter feast tokens

She produced for Winter War, and

Her enthusiasm for dance

For these reasons do We

King Quilliam and Queen Dagmar

Give unto Orla O’Shannahan

An Award of Arms

And all rights and privileges thereto

She will henceforth be known

As Lady Orla O’Shannahan

Done this 7^th day of May

Anno Societatis 45

At Lady Mary 23

In Our Barony of Rising Waters

Wording, calligraphy and illumination by THL Asa Gormsdottir

Cross carpet and incipit designs based on the Book of Durrow, 7^th C. insular ms.
