About Me
"I met a lady in the meads. Full beautiful, a faery's child; Her hair was long, her foot was light, and her eyes were wild."- Keats There are those who still believe that beneath the thin veneer of our too civilized times, mysterious spirits of ancient myth live on in a world which touches, but is not truly of our world.
If you've ever caught a whiff of a subtle perfume wafting through the air... Or caught a glimpse of movement out of the corner of your eye, yet when you looked no one was there...If you've ever heard the faint strains of music when no musicians were nearby...Chances are you've had an encounter with something rich and strange - the elusive Fae.
It doesn't matter if you believe in Faeries - what matters is if they believe in you.
Deep and full am i, hiding more than is revealed. The beings that live within me are enigmatic by nature. Look if you dare within my heart of hearts to learn my secrets.

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." ~ Albert Schweitzer
PRISM Dancers will once again showcase their talents Wednesday, MARCH 31 from 7-8:45pm at the Central Rappahannock Regional Library in Fredericksburg, VA. (Google for directions.) There is no charge for admission, but donations / tips will be both appreciated and will go toward bringing you future performances.
Come see all the delightful dancers perform a variety of numbers featuring cabaret-style solos, group choreographies, and, of course the unique Tribal Odyssey. We'll wow you with lovely veils, finger cymbals, live drumming, canes and swords. There will even be a "swap meet" for those who might like to buy, trade or sell costumes and other bellydance related items.
To learn more about PRISM Dancers, book a performance, or to begin a gratifying personal journey taking bellydance classes, please visit www.kawakib.com.
Hubba's needs our help. The economy, family medical issues, and the harsh winter have made things really hard on the good folks who own and run our favourite after-faire gathering place. So much so, they are near closing the business. So...on MARCH 20, around 7-ish, we'll all be gathering at the restaraunt for dinner, drinks and karaoke. Please join us for a festive, pre-season blast!
Hubba's Place aka: The Watering Hole 6276 Courthouse Rd, Spotsylvania, VA 22551
If you cannot attend but would like to help: Steve Walacavicz 6268 Couthouse Rd ,Spotsylvania ,Va 22551 Phone: (540) 895-9274
