The Magic of the Cards

 It was so quiet at work today that I left early. It was SO quiet that it was weirdly quiet, and yes we expect  quiet period at this time of year, but it was INSANE... Like a strange magic spell has been cast over everything, and since it's raining people are just away in hiding...
Rudh decided to get home and check the cards for their magic, letting the light sparkle from her to the cards, which could only be read after the spirits had shuffled them well... 

It's the simplest of magic, the kind that even the most novice of witches should be able to conjour up with ease.. Every witch has their own colour depending on the magic they practice and their personality, and Rudh's happens to be green as she's calm, friendly and down-to-earth... He boyfriend Frank, that she keeps as a headless Frank - thanks to a decor prop from Krescendo called Franky Faces at Satan Inc until November 1st - under a glass cloche when she's working her magic because he has a tendency to be a bit skeptical... Which is funny considering he's a head in a jar... 
Anyway, once her magic began to sparkle nothing else but the cards mattered, the Occult Cards - from Tardfish in a Necromancer design - in her hand started swirling through the air as they began to slowly give her the information that she required for the day ahead tomorrow...

Say My Name... Rudhlejuice...

There's magic, there's mystery and there's madness in the air... It's almost Halloween time, and we should be loving spooky feelings that are all around us... I recently re-watched a film that I love each and every year that I see it, Beetlejuice... I love that crazy Burtonesque vibe, whether it's Beetlejuice or if it's a Nightmare before Christmas, or even a little bit of a Corpse Bride, and  tosodafeeliny I was  a little bit Beetlejuicy... So for my 31 looks of Halloween today I'm going to be a little bit Rudhlejuicy... 

There's always something kooky about Beetlejuice so I let my mind go a little magical and a lottle kooky! Creating my Beetlejuice Look actually came about all because of a release from Normandy, the DRIFT set comes with both top and skirt, but it was the skirt that caught my attention - and I've had to ad the store ad to the bottom of my post so that you can see just how cute the look is - and I'll mesmirize myself with the shinies...  
Now, all I need to do is have someone say my name a few times...

Darkness in the Light

Halloween draws closer each day and for the last few days of my now 29 days of Halloween looks - lol yes 29 because I've missed 2 days so far and yes I'm fairly disappointed in myself for missing those two days - and I feel like right now I need to do something a little darker... Let's say it's because of thepain in my foot after my trip but the darkness is calling me, it's dark and mysterious out there in the black abyss...  

Deep in the darkness of The Forgotten - one of the best SL Events at this time of year - you can bump into all different kinds demonic monsters... 
Today we've bumped into one that is a little dark and demonic, but hiding in a place of the light, where it's warm and cozy... She's helped herself to a delicious bottle of juice from the "Pick your Poison" brand of drinks - available from hive at Equal10 - and standing there in the lava-like light she really catches and demands the attention.. 
Her head encircled by halos - like the Ishtar Headpiece from Six Feet Under, and the Shairi Halo from Petrichor at Trick or Treat Lane - allowing the passer by to see that she's a higher ranking demon. Her skin is marked up, blackened by the heat and scarred with Valhalla markings - from GERMINAL at Necrotize - and she definitely makes a statement, and she'd love to see you in the dark!!!

Spiders in the Dark

There are so many phobias in the world, but there are some that are worse than others... So many people are deathly afraid of spiders, personally I'm not afraid of them - though I will admit that I'm not keen on them too - there's just something about the creepy crawlie, that unlike any other bug it makes people feel scared. 
Of course, it wouldn't be Halloween without the odd spider or two - people say the same about Aliens and OK I accept it and avoid them - but for me there's always going to be a spider at Halloween... 

Spiders seem to like the dark, spooky places, so it's no wonder that Halloween is full of them... Their webs will sparkle in the dark and brush softly against your skin to make you jump... 
This year, when our little Spider Maiden crawls out of the darkness she has plans to show off her super soft dress based on a model by the famous "Charlotte" - a dress from Salem - while she shows off some new Arachnae Horns and Legs - an amazing set of things that you can find from October 22nd at Spookzilla in the Boutique #187 prizes!

It's the best day of the year, the time when all the spookies come out to play. I've been spooky all month so far but today I decided to pull out the pumpkins... 

I'll be honest I've been kinda saving this pumpkin look and now that it's Halloween it feels like the time to bring it out of the bag... 
At the site of This is Halloween, in the adorable pumpkin patch, Rudh found her new little friend... 
Her shirt and Doodlebobbers are from Neverwish and her pumpkin buddy is for Secret Poses in the Agatha Pose Set. 
Look into our pretty green eyes...

Summoning is just like making a Phone Call...

It's getting closer, so close the magic is deep and dark and scary... Halloween is coming and I cannot wait! Just a few more sleeps until Halloween! Now that the veil is lifting and we're closer to the otherside, Rudh is putting in a few calls to home, and chatting with her demonic friends and summoning them all to come for a visit over the holidays! 

Summoning takes a lot of effort though, I mean you have to set the scene, and depending on who you are contacting it will vary as to what you need... Her Witch Planning Book - from Tentacio - keeps notes of what is needed to contact everyone, and in this case she's using Scattered Crystals - from Lovely Alien - and a HUGE Blood Bucket - from Pink Unicorn - though I'm not sure if the person she's contacting is at home! 
Wait a minute though, the little demonic Rudh may be scaring her callers away... I mean look she's dressed like some kind of nun?! A Marianna Hairstyle - from Doe - and a cute uniform from the Witchcraft Academy - from Dead Dollz - the funny part is, it looks like it's not sitting well with her skin. She's got an outbreak of FIKA Trypophobia Freckles appeared on her cheeks, her face is slowly peeling apart! It's not that clear here, but take a look at the close up!!! Her face is rotting away!!
