About Me
I,Aleksis, was formerly harper for Freewoman Cassandra of the Good Ship The Eastwinds,traveling in the SCAdian Realms during the seven years of my first employ as a harper;my history there is not for the faint of heart due to other crew members frequent involvement in "feints of hearts"; an inquiry is the key to know of this chapter. 1.Musicke, Magicke & Mischief
2. A Song for All Seasons with Petals & Thorns
3. "There is more 'twixt Heaven and Earth,Horatio, than can be dreamt of in all your Philosophies"
And till I find the particular graven image for here, to clear away the somewhat nebulous fog of ambiguity which the Breton spelling of Alexis might create---I'm a GIRL!!! LOL
