Track this topic | Email this topic | Print this topic DesertRose  Posted: 14-Feb-2008, 10:47 PM Celtic Guardian Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 6,919 Joined: 09-Nov-2003 Zodiac: Alder Realm: The desert of Arizona so what time period would you want to time travel if you could and why. I personally love the 18thc. Still a wee rough for women in that era, but love it all the same for many reasons. What about you? -------------------- Fine art & photography by DESERT ROSE IMAGES http://www.desertrose-images.com                 Rindy  Posted: 15-Feb-2008, 03:51 PM Braveheart Member Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 128 Joined: 27-Jan-2004 Zodiac: Birch Good thread Celtic Rose.. The late 1200 to 1300's. Willam Wallace is why...no question about that one. lol.. I thought it was still tough on women these days. And we think we have it bad..nothing in comparrison.

Or maybe Ancient Rome. --------------------                 maggiemahone1  Posted: 15-Feb-2008, 08:28 PM High Queen of Ireland Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 3,596 Joined: 03-Jan-2002 Zodiac: Ivy Realm: Southern West Virginia A very good question, Rose! I'll have to think about this for awhile                  DesertRose  Posted: 23-Feb-2008, 12:35 AM Celtic Guardian Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 6,919 Joined: 09-Nov-2003 Zodiac: Alder Realm: The desert of Arizona Thanks for all your replies. Honestly it is a very difficult question for me as well. While I may be an 18thc re-enactor and know a wee bit about life back then. It is one thing to re-enact, another to actually live it from day to day. I also love the Renaissance period as well. Of course I would love to be part of the Queen's court and wear those beautiful dresses. But then I think I would love to live in that period no matter what..............as long as no one turned against me and made recommendation that my head be cut off.                 maggiemahone1  Posted: 23-Feb-2008, 08:50 PM High Queen of Ireland Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 3,596 Joined: 03-Jan-2002 Zodiac: Ivy Realm: Southern West Virginia I guess living in another time would be ok, if you had someone to carry your bathwater, wash your clothes and cook for you. I would surely want to live out in the country, in the cities you'd have to be careful of catching some disease caused by poor sanitation.                  Aaediwen  Posted: 25-Feb-2008, 05:52 PM Celtic Guardian Group: Super Moderator Posts: 3,068 Joined: 09-Oct-2003 Zodiac: Holly Realm: Kentucky I wouldn't want to be stuck in any perticular time period, but I'd like to visit the 17th and 18th centuries. I still like the idea of taking a radio transmitter back to about then, and some receivers, and hiding the receivers all over say London (solar powered of course), playing Irish resistance tunes! -------------------- Poet and seeker of knowledge                  DesertRose  Posted: 25-Feb-2008, 06:06 PM Celtic Guardian Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 6,919 Joined: 09-Nov-2003 Zodiac: Alder Realm: The desert of Arizona Aaediwen! In other words is would be very difficult to leave your 21stc behind should you be able to go back in time. well it would be for me as well. I would definitely want my camera!                 Mailagnas maqqas Dunaidonas  Posted: 25-Feb-2008, 07:42 PM Celtic Guardian Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 911 Joined: 18-Nov-2003 Zodiac: Oak I would kind of like to visit 4th Century Ireland, simply because so little is known about it, other than being one of the few areas where the Romans do not appear to have ventured in any meaningful way. -------------------- Síochán leat, Mailagnas Clan Donald USA                 thecelticgiraffe  Posted: 04-Mar-2008, 06:16 PM Servant Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 41 Joined: 07-Aug-2006 Zodiac: Willow Realm: South-Central Pennsylvania I'll be the oddball..I'd like to travel to and perhaps even live forever in the late 1940's, or very early 1950's. This was one of the most fantastically satisfying periods in history for anyone in the USA. The economy was great. Men and women knew their place in society (sorry...there is a role for each). There was less rich and poor class and more middle class. Everything was cheaper, percentage wise, compared to your average income. People appeared to be more family oriented. The music was even good! Look at movies/videos from this time period and there were even far fewer over-weight people! Cars were cool and solid. This was one heck of a good time to be alive! -------------------- Celtic Pennsylvania Celtic Tattoo Blog Celtic Design and Symbol Information                  Montie, druid at heart  Posted: 01-Apr-2008, 05:10 AM Chieftain of the Clan Group: Founder Posts: 112 Joined: 09-Oct-2006 Zodiac: Rowan Realm: Sugar Grove, VA I agree with Aaediwen. I would like to visit a lot of different times in history.                 DesertRose  Posted: 01-Apr-2008, 07:22 PM Celtic Guardian Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 6,919 Joined: 09-Nov-2003 Zodiac: Alder Realm: The desert of Arizona To show you what a coward I am. I would like to live in dfferent time periods for only a certain amount of days. See what it was like and then choose which eras I like best and live then! So far I like the 21st c, but I so love the 18th c as well. Sigh...if I could only work out a plan where I could live in both time periods for six months out of the year. Kind of like our winter visitors do here in Arizona. Does that sound weird?                 Camac Posted: 02-Apr-2008, 07:48 AM Guest Main: Registration Questions: Help Important: Rules Messages: Search Zodiac:  For me I would time travel to the 5th century B.C.E.,The Golden Age of Greece. Also the mid-twelve to mid- thirteenth century Scotland.My ancestors fought with Wallace and The Bruce and I wish I could have been there with them.

As a psychology and communications person, I'd definitely be interested in hearing: 1. what those roles were the sexes are supposed to know 2. when they changed From everyone else, I'd love to hear (especially the women here becrying the treatment of their gender in previous centuries) which aspects of these roles have changed to the modern day more to your likings. Sorry, but a blanket statement like that as fact is begging to be challenged. -------------------- We begin where our ancestors end...but wherefore go our children?                  st andrews cross  Posted: 02-Apr-2008, 11:21 PM Servant Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 39 Joined: 08-Mar-2007 Zodiac: Birch Realm: Florida I too pick the 18th Century - To fight for Scotland against those accursed English along side Bonnie Prince Charlie                 0 User(s) are reading this topic (0 Guests and 0 Anonymous Users) 0 Members: « Next Oldest | Medieval Gateway | Next Newest » Pages: (3) [1] 2 3   Fast Reply Show Smilies Pop Up Window |  Enable Smilies |  Enable Signature       Close Topic Options Track this topic Receive email notification when a reply has been made to this topic and you are not active on the board.
