HERALDRY IS A SUBJECT WORTH LEARNING...

Heraldry has been defined to be the 'science' that teaches how to blazon and explain in proper terms whatever relates to armorial bearings, and how to arrange or dispose regularly diverse arms upon a coat or shield.

Blazoning on the other hand is the art of describing in appropriate terms the charges according to their several gestures, positions, and tinctures.
