Aepril Schaile and the Judgement's Cd is out of print. Should we soon have a patron to help us print more, we will have more for you. THE FURIES' PRAYER
I am very interested in that which is hidden-- energies, emotions, the invisible world, motivations, knowledge, power...
I am interested in the alchemy of the psyche--and the alchemy that happens between people...I am interested in the soul's mysteries--the combination of fate and free will with which we all grapple... what we inherit--our physicality, our talents and weaknesses and our patterns, the sins and sicknesses and successes of our ancestors. ...I am interested in the divinity and darkness in all creatures....
I am interested in the fusion of sex and violence, sex and the sacred, sex and death, sex and mysticism...Accident scenes interest me. So do diasters.
... The spririt world, out of body experiences, near death experiences...
....The well being of all the Goddess's wild creatures interests me. The well being of children is of great interest to me... I never lose interest in power dynamics---what we are capable of, how we deny each other, how we can turn our backs on suffering...what we will do for compassion and love, our altruism
in death and rebirth, in resurrection and survival. In resiliancy. I am interested in contradictions, inconsistancies, clashing impulses, multiple truths and parallel realities...
I have an ongoing study of Jungian/archetypal psychology, interfaith mysticism, Goddess mysteries, parapsychology, and occult philosophy and technique.

Music
I love to listen to Medieval music and Medieval inspired like Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud, Corvus Corax; Gregorian chant, Celtic, Classical, 80's metal, Baroque, Doom, dark Americana (like Sixteen Horsepower, Johnny Cash). I love Peter Gabriel, Monica Richards, Azam Ali, Juno Reactor, Dead Can Dance, and I got a Cd for my birthday of Giant Squid that I have to hear every day. I am madly in love with Nico's solo work---she never did get the credit she deserved, and I shall be her avanger ;)-- and my own work has been influenced by Diamanda Galas. Many of my friends are musicians, and I of course love what they do.

Growing up, Beethoven endured mental/physical abuse by his demanding and alcoholic father who pushed him to become a musician in order to augment the family income. In 1795, Beethoven became publicly known as a rising and brilliant composer. But in 1801, his confidence began to disappear as his hearing slowly deteriorated, and in 1818 became completely deaf. He sank into depression and paranoia, and was viewed as an eccentric by others. Though musical tastes had changed in the 19th century (people then preferred light rossini operas), Beethoven's genius as a composer was still known and respected. Beethoven died in early 1827 during a thunderstorm. Sources say that Beethoven rose up and lifted his right fist as thunder lighted his room, and soon after, sank into eternal sleep. His funeral was attended by around 30,000 people
CODA "Houdini" JONES
1994-2007 Long Live the King!
My astrological chart shows a heavy influence of the planet Pluto, mythological Lord of the Underworld. It follows then that, like most Plutonians, I have an obsessive mania for such topics as spirits and ghosts, mental illness, erotic fantasy, ancestral inheritance, violence, psychological shadow and nightmare, death and resurrection. I'm a musician, performance artist, bellydancer, and astrologer; my band is called Aepril Schaile and the Judgement and I direct the yearly collaborative gothique/experimental Exquisite Corpse Bellydance Project. ..
I am a one time ugly duckling turned posturing hoodlem turned over-educated-renaissance-woman/derelict claiming Yonkers (YAHnk-is) NY as my original hometown. One side of my family is made of good working class "if we don't talk about it, it didn't happen" stock; the other is a product of wealth, entitlement, disinheritance and maybe a little criminal activity.
I strive to make ugliness and horror into something beautiful through the arts-- to give it meaning, and on its own terms.
I am an animal lover and passionate supporter of animal rights. I had my wolf-hybrid, Coda, who is fierce and loving, wise and not afraid to be foolish--he is my heart of hearts. Part of my living is made reading astrology charts.
Who I'd like to meet: I gravitate toward people of intensity and drama, people who are capable of deep feeling and passion. Underworld initiates. People who play with fire; people who cross the lines. Gypsies, tricksters. People who love experimentation, and fusion of different elements to create new things. Belly dancers, astrologers, musicians, artists, witches, magicians. Outsiders, survivors, underdogs, blacksheep, troublemakers, truth-tellers, phoenixes...and swans...
For I am the first and the last
I am the venerated and the despised
I am the whore and the saint
I am the wife and the virgin
I am the mother and the daughter
I am the inheritance of my mother
I am barren, and my children are many
I am the married woman and I am always single
I am the woman who gives birth and she who never will
I am the consolation for the pain of birth
I am the wife and the husband
And it was my man who created me
I am the mother of my father
I am the sister of my lover
And he is my rejected son
Always respect me
For I am the shameful and the magnificent one
I am the utterance of my name
