Female

I am a musician. Music is what I live for--both creating it and dancing to it. My band, AEPRIL SCHAILE AND THE JUDGEMENT, has been described variously as "death folk" "classical doom" "fiery dirges/ art rock". I play piano, and I sing and rant and rave about night goddesses, oceanic surrender, survivorship, death, sex and resurrection...Visit us at www.aeprilschaile.com or www.myspace.com/aeprilschaile

I am a "dark fusion" bellydancer. I am also a teacher of gothic/theatrical/experiemental Bellydance--classes and workshops.
I moderate Raks Gothique New England: tribes.tribe.net/raksgothiquene

I (loosely!) direct the gothique/experimental temporary collaborative project Exquisite Corpse.

I'm an astrologer and tarot reader.

I am extremely right brained. I favor fiction over non-fiction, poetic truth over "facts".

I have the astrological glyph for Pluto inked over my heart. I MEAN it. All of it.

I am part Raven, as I like to collect all sorts of interesting ideas, words, shiny things, odd people, and other gee-gaws, to put togther to create my life/work/nest. I am easily distracted from boring things; I adapt. I can fly, and I love experiments.

I am part Wolf; at times I come across fiercer than I really intend (though sometimes I do intend it). I really like open spaces, and I like to move freely. I am comfortable in shadows. I am a Hunter, but an easy scavenge from the trash often does the trick, too. :) I am territory conscious, and I can be a Bitch, so please keep your piss to yourself. But I'm also loyal and I care about people and causes that matter to me. A lot.

I am part Phoenix. I have died and been reborn, more than once. Fire.

I am also part Swan, which means that I was an Ugly Duckling once upon a time. I know that sometimes it takes while to find ones rightful family. Beauty comes in so many forms. Yes.
