In Need of Magic Spells!

Life really needs a little magic, getting news and dealing with all of the news that I've had over the last few months since the start of 2026, there's issues in the world, there's issues in MY world and I'm barely holding it together... I NEED a little magic... I don't want it, I NEED it and we all know there is a massive difference... I'm going to take matters into my own hands, and try to conjure something up... 

At this point I wish I could channel some of my inner Ursula, ya know the one that sings "Well I fortunately know a little magic, it's a talent that I always have possessed"... If you don't know, it's time to go watch a Disney film about a Little Mermaid... 
I know that my outfit is a little Witchy today, it's the fault of the dress and the amazing Vampyre Gloves - from Psycho Barbie - but when the magic was flowing from my fingers and Aetherlune reaction happened - the Aetherlune Jewels were released at the Magic Fair by Static and although the event has closed, they should be available at the mainstore - and the magic of the Crystal Cauldron started to glow... Let's hope that this helps...

Gifts of the Gods

It's been a while since I did something that lt my fantasy side out to play and for some reason I found myself veering towards the magical, dream-like and fanstastical... I had no idea where I would go, but my mind lead me to something a little God-like... Not any modern god either, this one was a little historical magic... 

I think that today though, the magic did have some kind of base in reality... My feet are hurting after a long day of work and well... I kinda wished for magical gifts of shoes from the gods... Little did I know that it was the Egyptian gods that were listening and that they'd grant me the magic of their people to walk on... 
I'll be walking like an Egyptian in no time...

Recharging the Harpies

Having one of those days where you need a little more magic in your life? I know that I have been feeling that way for a while now and I don't think there will be anything that I can get to happen anytime soon... 
So I'm going to have to get myself dragged into the Midnight Order and find the magic so that I can refind my own sparkle... 

The magic thats can only be found in the old Dany's Throne Room - a backdrop from K&S - is a draw to many that come to visit the Midnight Order. Today's visitor is one of the Galewing Harpies - with wings and jewels from aii at the current round of Midnight Order until February 20th - who has come to absorb some of the magic from the Leyline Table. It makes her glow, the halo glittering more as she recharges her magical batteries, I wish it was just as easy in RL...

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...

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...

The Heat Loving Fire Fae!

It is SUPER fecking hot again here at the moment... I don't know what happened but my guess is that someone, somewhere left the frikking oven open so all of the heat can seep out and warm us all up LOL... SOMEONE CLOSE THE OVEN DOOR!

Cave of Creeps and Crawly Things

I'm in a lot of pain after a trip to the docs today but luckily I had something a little creepy to make a girl's skin crawl... I needed some kind of distraction, and I think the creepiness of the bugs may just be the kind of place to do it... 

Some people are terrified of bugs, others love them. I'm not one of those that hates them but certain bugs give me the willies... WHY is that though? I've never really understood why people love things like butterflies and ladybirds but other bugs make them squirm and shiver...

The Magical Seer

My first day back at work after a few days off was total madness... People seem to be gearing up hardcore in their desire for Halloween considering how monstrous some of them were being. Why do people feel it's OK to be a dick to retail staff... Do NOT click at me, ever... 
There seems to be an increased level of craziness in the air... There must be a crazy moon goddess out there wreaking havoc... 

Hidden in the night in the Secrets of the Desert, hides that very strange goddess... She hides the twisted, tortured painful skin beneath an even more twisted Observer - a created by CRYPTID for The Engine Room - Mask, held on by the Judgement Gorget - from Stelio, also at The Engine Room - to keep things hidden... 
Whatever happens, there is magic in the air...

Dance of the Demons

I've been full of so much sweetness, cuteness and colourfulness that I think I've been hiding behind the rainbow happiness and keeping the deep, dark, monstrous side of me hidden way deep down within. I know that my monstrous side ususally comes out when I'm happiest, but right now she's ready to come out to unleash Hell on people that are crossing my path. I love my life, I love my job and I love the things going on but there are just way too many people and I'm totally exhausted... I want to kick some butt, and I think that the monster in me is feeling fiesty... 

Tonight I'm feeling more than a little dark and dangerous, it's going to be an Evil Night there will be blood as the demon in me comes back out to play for the first time in a long time... 
Her Ancient Wings - a gorgeous pair of wings that can be with and without feathers from Aii - springing from her back, her Mephisto Tail - from LVL9 at Engine Room - slithers around her legs, and the matching horns appearing through her hair... It is the wounds on her Scarred Body - from Cubic Cherry, also at Engine Room until April 20th - and her Mercurial Mantis Eve arms - from mercurial, at Engine Room too - that show just how much this angel has fallen. She may still have her feathers but those are the last remnants of her angel days...

Relaxing with Friends

I'll be honest with you, I am definitely slacking on the blogging front this month, what with the death of my fur baby and then a visit from my parents in RL, I've barely thought about Second Life and anything related. I'm running out of time to get things done, and even though there's an extra day in February I'm wondering if I'll be able to achieve this month's target! 
I had to do something fantastical today, being a fantasy character usually seems to help me get my creativity going... A mermaid, even when she's relaxing at home with her little underwater friends will be the kick I need... 

So what do mermaids do when they are taking their time off from swimming and singing and playing under the water... They kick back, if you could call it that when they have a tail rather than legs, in their underwater room - which in this case is more like an entire Flooded Apartment from Synnergy.Tavis - floating around on a Bubble Throne - from Normandy until February 28th at Abnormality - as she giggles at the adorable Lil' Sea Monster - from Tardfish, he's also available now at Abnormality - that snuck into her room...

An Enchanting Mermaid Dance

 My happy place always tends to be something fantastical. I'venever been very good at straight up, look-of-the-day kinda posts like some of my blogging buddies, and even though I ALWAYS love what I post, I know not all of them will please everyone. Sometimes I wonder if I'm too random and all over the place for most people, you never know what kind of picture you'll see escape my mind... 
Today it was something a little magical and aquatic... Enchantment has opened it's doors to the Mer Kingdom, and if you know me at all you should know that I love to create pretty Mermaids and let them swim through my mind as a happy place... 

Although many of my mermaids tend to look similar, they should as they are from the same family tree considering they all drop out of my mind... I still love to bring them to the surface and allow everyone to watch them dance under the waves, bubbles and fishies swirling along in the dance... 
She's dressed up for a party to dance, wearing her pearls and tiaras, but its the bigger that is the most special... The biggest of the tiara's was a special gift, a Mermaid Headpiece fit for a dancing queen - made by Boutique #187 exclusively at Enchantment until December 2nd - and it definitely enhances her mermaid vibes...

Welcome to my Garden of Shadows

What would costumes at Halloween season be like if I didn't throw in a nod to the eight legged beasties that seem to be a cause of many people's nightmares. I'll admit that I don't find them terrifying but at the same time I'd rather not have the big fluffy ones in the house. My dog just watches them, my cat tries to play with them, but even my hubby has been known to get a little squeamish when there are big ones around, and the vaccuum has had to be the hero of the hour more than once... 
I will also admit though, that there is something about the arachnid chic which I find very difficult to bypass when creating costumes at this time of year... Spiderlady time... 

This year, the Spider Lady is the one holding the key to the Garden of Shadows... She sings that most haunting of melodies "Come Little Children" to welcome passers by into her garden, and once there they will never get out again... The garden is the doorway to the Spinner's Crypt - a backdrop from FOXCITY - and the perfect place for the arachnids to dance in the moonlight, weave their silken art and indulge in the delicacies of people that wander in... 
She's decorated, and never lonely, because of the visits from all her little spidey friends. They creep over her skin, escaping from within her... Through holes in her skin - a Virus spread by A.D.D Andel - decorating her body in an outfit of webs...

Demons Waiting in the Dark

Things are getting more and more Autumnal, and with that comes the most wonderful time of the year - yes I know that people say that about Christmas - but we all know that it is infact Halloween, right?! I LOVE letting the spooky out, I love when the darkness takes over me and the magic happens and I'll admit it, that's exactly what has happened today... 
There is a demon out there, waiting to be ushered in with the Halloween magic, but until that time she's going to just watch and wait from the highest tower where the dark magic floats on the breeze... 

There is a dark, yet magical place. No where near heaven but high enough that a demonness could watch and wait for the moment when the gap between the human world and the Halloween nightmares are closer and easier to skip across... 
This demoness is of the pretty type. Not made for damage of the physical kind, but definitely of the twisted mental kind. She's twisted, dressed in a slinky black Bajor Dress - from Normandy - for the seduction of her targets, yet her face is scarred by Ember - a wound collection for the face from Samia. She's watching, waiting and observing... Held back from doing anything until her Deviltrap Collar - from Oblivis, at the Engine Room which opens on September 20th -  pops it's lock and she can escape to the human world... 

What is she wearing;

If only they knew...

Today is very important for two special reasons... First, and foremost, it's Fathers Day... Happy Father's Day to all of the dad's out there. Secondly, and perhaps although not as important but definitely more delicious. Today is also International Sushi Day... 
I've only fairly recently become a fan of sushi, for some reason I always avoided it but then I tried, and fell in love... I don't know all of the names of the types yet, with the exception of Ebi-Fry, which I will admit that I am addicted to and would be more than willing to eat my body weight in... So, since I can't be with my Dad, I'm going to do something fishy instead... 

In the Mermaid's Cove - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - the dark, devious little mermaid decided that today be the most obvious day to try that sushi food that she'd heard humans talk about... No idea what it is, she had some delivered to that usual spot on the dock. She grabbed the package and slipped below the waves to try the nosh for the first time... I wonder what the little shoal of fish would think if they knew what sushi really is?!

A Spark of Dark Magic

Today I was able to leave work a little early and I have never been so happy to enjoy few extra hours sitting on the sofa to read and even take a nap... 
When I have a chance to feel better like this, my pictures often take on a somewhat happy, fairytale, fantasy sort of look... The magic starts to swirl in my mind, the sparkles and whether they are pretty magic or dark mysterious magic, everything comes together and the magic makes me smile... 

Today one of my favourite little demonic souls, slipped through the gates of Purgatory in order to collect some of the magic created by the fae... Fairy magic is so potent, that it is highly prized in the purgatory world, where magic is weak and demonic souls need every drop to control the unruly, newly deceased... 
Today it's a spark of neon blue, often used to calm those lost souls...  
I LOVE the way that this demoness turned out, from the colours of her jewels in her collar - the Deathcaller's Mantle from Quills & Curiosities - and the tattoo on her chest - which is a Jeweled Lotus tattoo from Adora-tions - to the colour of her eyes - a new release from Maktub Store at the upcoming round of Ritual that runs from May 22nd until June 12th - it's a look that makes me extremely happy...

Summoning Demons

 It's been a few days now but I'm done with working and tomorrow is my day off work... I cannot wait for a day to relax and all I'm planning to do is picture taking... I'm going to have a lovely day of playing with my clothes and making pretties... 
I have a lot to share but I'm not going to rush into things, I'm going to let my inner demonness be drawn into the light, I'll summon her and let her magic decide which direction our creativity will flow... Sometimes she stays in the darkness, others she flickrs into the pretty rainbows of spring... Who knows where we will end up?! 
But first we have to summon her from her demonic slumber... 

In the Pact Sanctum - a backdrop from PALETO - where the blood magic is practiced, the spell has been cast and she's been awakened... Appearing in the mist, it swirls around her and she looks more than a little gorgeous in her darkly, twisted and shapely bodysuit - from the amazing VALLEMONT - with it's sexy leather curves...

Magic of a Djinn

Saturday!! A day for fun, an evening for celebrating the night, and a chance to enjoy a couple of days of peace before a lazy Sunday - in most cases, with the exception of the poor souls like me that have to work tomorrow - so that magic, can and will happen... 
In the heat of the desert, as the day time slips into the peace of an evening and the cool starts to flood the overheated sand, there is often a risk of discovering the dangerous spirits that hide in the dunes... Deserts, like the Zannier Desert - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - tend to be places that can hide the mysterous Djinn...

One of those mysterious spirit forms, the Djinn are most commonly found buried within the old customs of modern Arabic culture... Both revered and reviled, these spirits are believed to be closer to humans than gods due to a mortality that cannot be protected by their magic... They hide in the dusk, dancing just outside of the light where they sparkle as their magic glistens...

Candles Light the Midnight Order!

The Midnight Order has once again opened it's doors to the darkest parts of the magical places in the Second Life universe... The magic flows through it's sacred order and for a very short time it will seep into the light of the grid to share it's darkness... 
The outside looks like it's a beautifully sunlight day, the sands of the desert are calm and the wind isn't shifting th grains over the dunes... Inside the castle walls though, the darkness keeps things shaded and cool, magic happens better when it's cooler... 

Lurking in the shadows of the halls of the Midnight Order, I decided to light some of the Vered Set Candles - a Midnight Order release from random.Matter - to welcome the spirits in. Being a greeter of the KORE - from V/.VoluptasVirtualis - wearing their robes and marked by the Sjora Tattoos - from Lilithe' - hoping that the spirits will love the Midnight Order...

Waking the Mushroom Fae!

It's so freaking hot today, another bloody heatwave and I'm desperate to get out of the heat. My office is under a flat roof, and there's no avoiding the heat upstairs, so I'm hiding down in a cave of my living room with everything closed. 
I'm craving Autumn, I want the cool crisp air, the feeling of leaves falling and that beautiful frost that settles over the ground I want the cold air, and the fact that I need to wrap up warm and snuggly... 
I've heard that things are changing, the fairy folk are preparing for their winter sleep whilst others are starting to wake... It's almost the time of the Autumn Fae... 

In the deepest, darkest parts of the forest, by the dark pond - a backdrop from Synnergy - there is a perfect environment for the hiding place for the Mushroom Fae. These pretty little dark fae need dark damp places just like their moisture loving fungal friends... These pretty little Autumn Fae decorate themselves with their favourite mushrooms, some are into the red with spots, others like the frills that grow on trees and the Rudhie version who loves the cute little brown button cups... She loves them so much they adorn her body - thanks to the amazing new release from Quills & Curiosities at the soon to open round of Enchantment - you'll have to excuse her mess though, she's just waking up from her Summer Slumber...

In the Castle at the Midnight Hour

Midnight is often referred to as the Witching Hour and it's the time when the dark things are supposed to be more active. As a dark little monster myself, I hate to admit that in RL I tend to find myself falling asleep at that time but I think Rudh could keep herself awake enough to indulge in the past-times of those that live for the Witching Hour. 

Dressed up in her finest, a beautiful "Capriccio" Dress - from toksik at Midnight Order - she wanders down the Castle Stairs, heading towards a library to find something new to read. Balancing the "Globus Satanas" - from kosmii - her devious little orb that marks her rank as as high ranking demoness in one hand, and in the other an "Eternal Damnation Chalice" - from sacrilege - full of some delicious fresh red juice. Stretching her Amorous Demon Wings - a beautiful pair from Aii & Ego - fluttering the feathers as she darts down the drafty halls...
