Solar Relics and Forbidden Rituals

Some day soon I'll be able to relax but today at work was horrible, I think that I need a miracle... I don't want to be at work, I don't want to be living at this farm right now, and I want to be about a million miles away from here.. Is that weird? Probably but I want to let myself get lost... I'm going to find a little monsterous magic... 

In the forgotten temple, there are monsters that thrive amongst the salvaged remains... This monster is disturbing to look at... She's a Remnant - thanks to the chest tattoo from Nefekalum at the Salvage Station - and her headdress that covers her teeth behind a Chthonic Cultist Mask - from Static - and she's learning more and more each day using her Solar Relic - from floro, also at Salvage Station - and a myriad of Forbidden Rituals...

Rituals for Salvage and Enchantment

Today has been a day off for me, and you can tell that it's been a day off because I've had a chance to get very creative and make something magical when it comes to blogging... Don't get me wrong I LOVE all of the things that I share here but there are some days when I feel like the magic is just that little more magical... 
It's getting magically cold, some might say somewhat Frostbitten and more than a little salvaged... Magically cold and collected from salvaged things... 

A Frozen Ritualist - which is actually the name of the tattoo from AURO, that you can get your hands on at the Frostbitten Enchantment Graveyard - was performing a Ritual - in a backdrop from FOXCITY - involving a mirror and a very large Tsarknife - from FOE, available now at Salvage Station - but ended up getting herself Possessed... Boken glass from the mirror went everywhere, including being embedded into her chest... Luckily she's magical and can withstand the pain...

Magic Beyond the Mirror!

I feel like I needed a little magic in my life today and whilst I was still waking up, I had a notecard come through that one of my bucket list stores had accepted me into their blogger team... I was elated and it's the magic I needed... I feel like I woke up from a slumber and the sparkling light allowed me to break free into the magical depths of my mind where the deepest and best magic resides... 

While tidying up some of the mess in my inventory, to distract myself from my mind, I found myself in a Forgotton Room - which is actually a backdrop from Dirty Rat - looking into a beautiful old mirror that without even the touch of a breath very quickly became a Broken Mirror - a gorgeous item from Moon Amore - that pulled me through it's broken glass to another world full of light and magic...

Midnight can be FULL of Colours!

I've just been watching the newest Disney movie "Encanto", and I love it... The songs, the colours, and the storyline are all a match-made in Disney Heaven... It's also got me craving colours and vibrancy... So today, I'm all about colour... So much so that I'll going to throw it everywhere, the brighter the better... 

So perhaps all of these colours don't really fit with the Midnight Order of things - I mean Midnight Order is about the dark, gothic and macabre, and well I look like an explosion in the rainbow factory... 
Trying to hide the darker parts of her - like her new tattoo from GERMINAL that show her being one of the "Children of the Dark" - under a brightly, coloured spray of paints, including some luminous firefly green stripe tattoos - from Evil Baby and Ctrl-Z - and the blue pain that fans out like wings as it hits her back...

Casting of a Spell...

It's time to cast a few magic spells... Someone has to do something to get Flickr working more efficiently again... I need my hourly boredom fixer lol, need to be able to scroll through the pictures whilst drinking coffee, need it to work so I can upload my addictions to the internet LOL... SOMEONE has to make it work better, and so I'm going to cast whatever spells I can get my hands on to make it work...

For some reason the magic books I had, all tell me that I need to be in the middle of a graveyard to get the spells to work. I must admit that I was feeling more than a little pessimistic about it all, but I did exactly as the spell told me. 
Find the Graverobber hat from the Reliquary - it should be available to you at the ECLIPSE - and then while wearing the hat cast the spell... I did that, no problem... It caused my eyes to itch, and I'm pretty sure there was something weird going on... A Zibska Flux - as I was told later causes the eye to leak glittery magic?! 
As soon as it had started, and the glowing orange ball that captivated me to gaze into the flames appeared, it was gone... Did it work? Was the stress of a broken Flickr over?! 

What is she wearing;
Hat: !Reliquary! - Graverobber Hat (Available until May 31st at ECLIPSE) 
Hair: [RunAway] - Alana Hair in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Eye & Lipstick: Zibska - Flux (Available until May 31st at ECLIPSE)

Top: Razor - Chambers Shirt in Black 
Pose: NANTRA - Gaze into the Flames (Available until May 31st at Enchantment) 

Pretty Pink Flowers

Today is one of those gorgeous Spring days! I will always be an Autumn girl but I have to admit that Spring comes a very close second. All the life starting to appear, the flowers in bloom and the sounds of some very happy birds in the garden makes me feel like a very happy girl inside. I'm not really a fan of sunshine - when it get's too hot I get cranky lol - but Spring sunshine is warming and gentle and it feels nice on the skin after a long Winter of grey. 
This month, until April 5th, we're celebrating the coming of the Spring with a special event dedicated to Ostara's Altar... Bring on the flowers, bring on the magic, bring on the new beginnings and the start of something beautiful!  

The Ostara's Altar event is still up and running, bringing together some brilliant designers with a cacophony of colour, magic and femininity that welcomes the Spring season. I've been in love with so many pretty things, that the inner girlie girl has been screaming to come out... 
Today I want to share with you some of the pretties!! Some of the pretties for accessorizing a Springtime goddess look! 
Let's start with the biggest and most obvious item and work our way from there... The Amarillis Headpiece is one of two things in this picture by the store Zibska - the second being the awesome Aviva Eyemakeup which is a hunt prize for the event. Now pink is normally not my colour, but in this case I couldn't resist getting my pink on, especially when it combined with the vibrant blue of the eyeshadow. These colours were reflected well in the somewhat hidden but still available to see Moon Child Horns from Cubic Cherry - who also made the Nemi Eyes, which are the stores hunt prize! I let the colour flow through just a little more in the gorgeous Astara "Beauty Within" Collar and then spiced up the background with a little more pink in the form of Spyralle's Primrose Votive Petites. 
For now, that's enough pink! Anymore and my friends will be checking my pulse to make sure I'm OK, but when Ostara calls for pink, Ostara calls for pink! 

What is she wearing;
Hair Accessory:  Zibska - Amarillis Headpiece (Available until April 5th at Ostara's Altar)

1000 Posts take us to Wonderland!

First off I want to start this post with a HUGE announcement!!!

Yes that's right, as of this post I can officially say "HOLY CRAP! 1,000 Posts!" That's a massive milestone for me... I never ever felt that I would reach that level when I first started blogging. I always thought it was a fad that would be over quickly, that I'd grow tired of things - I've never been very good at writing a journal - but I found reasons to keep coming back... Challenges had me hooked, and I managed to get myself a few very supportive sponsors as well as some awesome readers, but the best aspect of my blog for me is that it has just become so therapeutic... No matter how bad my day has been I've always found solace in taking a photo and then writing about it here...
For a special post, that will always be special as my 1000th post, I am going to take everyone onto a trip into my favourite fantasy land - no not SL lol - Wonderland here we come!!!

I have always loved Alice in Wonderland, in fact her adventures through the looking glass were favourites of mine too, and SL sometimes seems like a wonderland all of it's own... We can be anything we want to be in SL, and there are so many crazy things to see, I'm sure without looking too hard you will be able to have your own adventures just like Alice did...  
I've turned Rudh into my own weird and twisted version of Alice... The entire reason for this ramble is due to the outfit that was offered in the Alice in Sexyland hunt recently - yes I know it's over but I was on holiday! - from adoness, and painted my face with a pretty eyeshadow from Zibska - which you can get as a prize in The Body Art Hunt... I had to, however, make her less cute and a little more sinister by combining my Alice with an evil Cheshire Cat - doesn't she have a wicked grin!
What a way to celebrate my 1000th post, my 1000th ramble and my 1000th reason to say thank you for reading my ramblings, thank you for following me and thank you for all of the lovely comments through my rambling history!!! I hope you will be here with me to see my 2000th post hehe...
