Psychic Readings with the Wheel of Fate

Ever want to talk to someone SO MUCH that you'll do anything to find that contact again? Whether it's for comfort from the sound of a voice, the sharing of a laugh that only you understand, or it's just the only way that you'll get the answers that you seek, there is no real way that you can speak to those that you've lost to a death... I'd give anything to talk to Mum at the moment... It's nearly Halloween, and the spirit world is closer than normal... Maybe there is a way?! 

I have an appointment with the Whispering Tarot, where the Wheel of Fate - a release from Krescendo that was in an event but should now be back at the mainstore - will assist the fortune teller with their contact making... Once the telephone starts to ring, you'll be able to speak to your loved one... 
There is ONE safety mechanism included... The Emergency Stop Button - which is actually an amazing accessory from Boutique #187 (and since there are so many cool things that can come out of the button when it's pushed I've added the ad board texture below so that you can see for yourself just how cool it is, since the picture doesn't really do it the justice it deserves!) - will automatically end the session, as soon as the demons start calling...

Mushroom Carvings!

I've had a terrible night's sleep, I've learned more about things in my RL than I EVER really needed to know in the last 12 hours, and I am not in a good mental place, SO what do I do when my brain goes to jelly? You should know the drill by now, when I feel myself breaking, I slip into a fantasy world where nothing matters and everything is prettiful! It's truly my best way to turn off... 

Since it's supposedly Autumn and that means the colours should slowly be going from green to red, I feel it's allowed to start being a little more Autumn, and you know me I LOVE a good fairy moment when the seasons change. 
Today I was out on a mushroom picking trip, I REALLY dislike eating mushrooms... I dunno there is just something about the texture! Yes I also know that you're not supposed to eat the red ones LOL... Though there are a few people I wouldn't mind feeding them to at the moment... 
The fae were a little shocked when we were sneaking peeks at other people's harvests though... Someone was REALLY prepping the mushroom harvest for Halloween...

I wanna be an Easter Feaster!

Easter Monday has always felt like a weird one for me, WHY is there a second day of Easter? I know that for religious reasons Good Friday is supposed to be the day he died, and Easter Sunday was when he was resurrected don't ask me for more details I don't know a lot more than that, I'm sorry... Yet, WHY IS EASTER MONDAY A THING? I'd never complain about extra days off work but hmmm... Christmas has a second day, which we often refer to as Boxing Day - and yes I KNOW the historical reason for that in the UK at least - Easter has two days... When can we start having time off for two days of Halloween?! 

Yet I guess it's just another day to relax, spend time with family or friends, or even on your own like I did a lot of today, and enjoy the treats of the day before just a little bit longer... Easter Monday was always a time to enjoy the eggs that I didn't get to eat on Easter Sunday because we'd spent it at our Grandparents as a little kid... Mum and Dad used to make an excellent family lunch and it was better than the day before because we could be relaxed and not expected to be on our best behaviour lol... 
I wanted an Easter feast for lunch today... I think I got a little carried away. I made sure there was Easter Cakes - thanks to Junk Food - some delightful little Butterfly Sandwiches - from Lucas Lameth - which really helped with the Spring feel to lunch, and even some Hot Cross Buns - from vespertine - that happen to be some of my favourite Easter treats from home... There was plenty of chocolate and loads of eggs too... Perfect for the picnic that I set up on the table in the garden... So perfect that even the little birdies came to visit and join in the fun...

A Queen in Hiding!

Finally a day off and I had the chance to have a lay in. It was blissful, until we heard the staff of the shop below arriving for work and disturbing the wonderful slumber... It was so lovely cuddling up with Hell and my cat,and then reality came through and we had to go to our house and do some of the final work before we handover the keys next week... The first thing I NEED to do though is get a very, large cup of coffee... 

Even though I'm happy to have a day off and had a bit of a lay in, I'm still bloody exhausted and I know that HellBone is too... 
I'll sit around for a while, hide my exhausted eyes and unwashed hair under a cap - the Queen Cap from Boutique #187, available until February 25th at Astrophe - and pretend to read my book while I doom scroll through my phone as I find out what is going on with the rest of my friends in the Barely Functioning Club...

Prepping the Bad Magic before Valentine's

Ahhh Wednesday, thank fuck you're finally done for me and I have the day off tomorrow... I NEED to have some time to relax, although with the building preparations and having to pack umore stuff I think I have a lot more to do than I might have anticipated LOL.... 
For tonight I'm going to kick back and work a little magic... The month of the hearts and flowers and romance is alomost upon us and for the next couple of weeks everything will no doubt be full of Valentine's sweetness... I'm not a Valentine fan, can't it be Halloween again?! Perhaps I need to find a way... 

Now if there is one thing I do know is that Monster Smut is often a good way to enjoy the romance and seduction without things being too sickly sweet... Since starting my reading journey I've discovered a LOT of new things that are somewhat intriguing... 
I've decided to let the bood thirsty monster out of myself, I'm going to let her let her hair down and plan her Valentine season... No mush, no sickly sweet, not even a card, just dark Valentine funsies... She's already preparing herself, she's had something to drink and has been to see the magical beings of the Midnight Order - which runs until February 20th by the way - to pick up some Love Potion and a Blood Vial - from Ritual - so that she can get started...

A Moment To Pause...

Home after a very short trip to see my parents in the UK over New Years... Every time I come back it always feels like it was never long enough and I feel totally and utterly empty at the moment. I miss my family and the homesickness never seems to get any easier, but I guess on that note I should warn you... This is my first pensive post of the year, it won't be all fun and games as I have a lot of rambling thoughts to share. If you're not wanting to read all that, I understand, but enjoy the picture and the credits at the bottom of my ramble... Otherwise read on... 

I'm home again, back in my little house on Gingerbread Lane - in this case a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - and while Hell is unloading the car, I'm going to take a moment to sit and talk with you over a nice cup of coffee from my cozy Thermos Flask - from andika, available until January 27th at Anthem - and I don't know why but being the snow feels peaceful right now... 
As I've been hinting lately, there will be a LOT of things happening this year and my mind is totally distracted and crazed and not in a very happy place right now... If you asked me about any resolutions for this year, I'd tell you that I simply want to get through the year with everything going smoothly, everyone around me being happy, and all the troubles passing by in the blink of a eye... 
HellBone and I have a MASSIVE undertaking starting in February. Per Dutch Law, our house is in need of some major rennovations. We have to move out for 6 months, and although we're lucky in that the cheese company I work for is able to provide me temporary accomodations for that time, I'm MOVING and we have to clear out the ENTIRE GROUND FLOOR of our house... There is SO MUCH to do and I'm stressing about that... Packing, organising, tidying, cleaning, travelling back and forward to our new location to get things sorted, I need a break already and we haven't even started... 
On another note, there is illness in my family and it makes me worry even more... My grandmother is 93 and suffering with demensia, she also cannot get herself out of bed anymore without the help of a nurse. My grandfather is trying but it's a stress on him, yet he's too stubborn to let anyone else help, and it's causing fights with others in the family. Then there is my Mum... In October, my mum was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. It's not going to be viable to surgically remove the cancer, so she is going to be undergoing intensive chemo for the next few months. At the moment it's all a case of wait and see what is happening and how things will go, I'm remaining strong for her but behind closed doors I'm broken and crying and STILL trying to focus on the move just to stop myself jumping back on a plane to see my mummy again... 
I'm not in a good place, this year has just started and I'm going to need all the luck I can get. Please bear with me if I start getting upset or my blogging is erratic... If you need support or love or someone to listen, I'll always be here, just remember I care even if I'm not doing well. Keep everything crossed for my mum, for my grandma and for my sanity... I already can't wait for 2026 to be done... OH AND on top of all that, this year I TURN 40!!! Bring it on 2026...

Skellington's Christmas Sciences!

Well we've made it to December, the festive season is officially starting and it's all beginning to look a lot like Christmas... I am not feeling very festive at all, and there is a lot more things for me to be worried about and on edge over at the moment, I'll be fine and will hopefully find the Christmas spirit somewhere... 
At the moment I feel a little like Jack Skellington when he was trying to discover Christmas for himself... 

I guess I was thinking about that when my mind was putting together my picture idea today... 
Jack Skellington's home came to mind, the day after he was starting his scientific search for Christmas secrets. I wanted to create something like my dark little mind trying to find the sparkle of Christmas, the magic that comes with all of the decor and treats and fun of Christmas... There was a little elf getting in the way, and my dark little minions decided to lock him away, but there could be a breakthrough...

Catching Dreams and Nightmares

When I'm working on looks and setting up pictures, it is only a matter of time before something magical gets it's way and is allowed to escape from the darkest corners of my mind, into the light... That is especially true at this time of year, when the monstrous are waiting to be freed...These monsters can come from dreams and nightmares, fears and frights or even just the deep dark of my mind, but when they come into the light they always seem just that little less daunting... Nightmares have been plaguing me lately, now I'm going to learn how to face them... 

There was one a swamp that I inhabited within Second Life. For the longest time I was one of the Gators, causing chaos in my own little world and having lots of fun being sociable for every minute of it... Since those days are now WAY behind me, I feel much less pressure to be the sociable one, I feel freer and less contained and I really didn't want to be in that world anyway... 
Today though it is to that dark little swamp I return to meet a monster from my past, a demon of the dark and murky places. This one can often be found controlling the nightmares but also collecting the good dreams and locking them up inside the collection of dreamcatchers, to release them when I need the peace and tranquility of good sleep... Not often mind you, this is a monster we're talking about...

Harvest Treats Time!

I know that Autumn doesn't officially start until September 22nd, but that isn't about to stop me from getting into the Autumn Spirit as it's my favourite time of the year... I LOVE the autumn, and although I'm trying hard to avoid all things pumpkin right now, I'm going to start letting the leaves fall, collecting the conkers that the trees gift us and wrapping myself in lots and lots of snuggly blankets while I cuddle a cup of tea and read a book... 
There are a few tasks that I have to get done this time of year... I started to assist the mushroom folk in their harvest, and today I get to harvest something even more magical... 

Being a magical being has it's perks and that's why the plants in my perfect little magical greenhouse are now ready for the harvest of some very interesting treats... The Sugarfora - from dust bunny at  kustom9 until September 10th - have been growing hard and have some delicious treats for us this year... The hanging Macaron, the Donut Tree and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Bush keep me happy with delicious treats all Winter if I am lucky, I have already got a crop of Iced Pink donuts - in a bucket from Junk Food - and am testing the chocolate chip cookies which I have to tell you are DELICIOUS!!!

Mushroom Harvest Starts, The Celebration Begins!

My working week is finaly done and it's the weekend, so I'm going to let my hair down and have alovely, relaxing party - Pyjama's and Relaxing Time YAY! - there hasn't been much time for that this week and I truly need a rest at the moment. I don't know why, I'm exhausted... It must be the time of year as the season is beginning to change... 
I get home and I'm about to head inside and relax when the fairy senses inside me started tingling... There was something going on in the fairy grove and I had to go check... 

When I got to the fairy glade, having morphed from standard boring human to something a little more magical, I stumbled upon a different kind of party. Not the relaxing pyjama party I'd been hoping for, but a Mushroom Buddies - a new release from Pitaya for The Fifty - have been picking Orchand mushrooms to get ready for the Autumn feasts and hibernation preparation... Now I KNOW I wasn't keen on the idea of having to do anything more than relax BUT I can't turn down this kinda party, they have tea and CAKE!!!

A Puppy Awakening!

I have to admit that even though today has been the first weekend off I have hd in a few weeks and that I had SUCH HUGE plans to get things done, I find myself feeling sluggish. I'm being slow in everything as I've got no desire to do anything that involves moving... I want to read, I want to laze around, I want to sit back and chill but I have so much to do... Someone wake me up, make me some coffee or something?!

I can't pick up my phone today, without being lost to doom scrolling. I can't sit on the sofa without staring off into space. I can't do anything without letting my mind wander to other things and distract me from the main thing I should be focusing on... 
I sat Rudh down to do her make-up, her Ghoufriend Make-Up - from HAUNT available until August 20th at Midnight Order - if you will, and it was all going well, until she suddenly woke up at the arrival of the cute-looking but somewhat evilly divalicious Pawradise Pups - from Aardvark, and yes they are cute I'm just being silly calling them evil, at Collabor88 until September 7th - arrival... Their arrival means that the Demons are Coming... I better hurry up and get ready...

Raise Hell Baby!

I've been in doubts whether to talk about this but I'm feeling emotional since seeing Ozzy Osbourne, and Black Sabbath's final concert on TV the other day. It's all over social media if you haven't seen it and it looks like the best concert ever... I wish I'd been able to be there... It looked like such a happy event, even though there was the saddest of undertones that it was the last ever time we will see Ozzy perform... 
It's woken up the darkness in me... The Prince of Darkness may be retiring but his legacy will forever live on... 

The dark little fallen angel in me had a tear in her eye on waking today and seeing a the amazing clips all over the internet... Seeing the Prince of Darkness on his elaborate throne, he seemed to be loving life although wishing he could jump around and rule the stage like he once had... 
I'm dressed and ready for a litte fun now that I've woken from my slumber, I've primped my wings, pulled on a party hat and grabbed a flask full of something naughty... Now that the Prince of Darkness has retired I think it'stime we raise a little hell...

Summer Beach Work

I work in retail in RL, I'm sure you may have seen me say that once or twice... I'm currently watching a British TV series called "Death in Paradise" and I think that at the moment these things are coming together in my mind so that I ended up on a paradise beach selling fruits... It sounds like a perfect place to be right now... 

Death in Paradise is set in the Caribbean, filmed in Guadaloupe although the island in the stories is imaginary... 
Now if I was relaxed enough to be chilling on the beach, playing or perhaps just making noise on my Ukulele - a release from Junk Food, available until July 17th at Anthology - I don't think I'd be looking as comfortable as I am... Sitting around at my Seabreeze Fruit Shack - a release from Dust Bunny for this year's Summerfest event - I think I'm likely to be more than a little sunburnt!!!

A Different Tale

It's a tale as old as time, but recently I have been loving reading the Smut that is actually based on the fairytales that I grew up loving and still love but now perhaps with a twist of something dark and kinky... 
I am just about to start reading one about Goldilocks, but I've loved them about Peter Pan, the Little Mermaid, Aladdin and others, but this will be the first about Goldilocks and her three bears... Another theme that I love happens to be Beauty and the Beast based stories... A twist on the tale as old as time... 

I love the stories with a twist... The darker the twist, the better I feel and I LOVE it when the female main character is the villain... Maybe I should start writing my own so that I can apply my desires to one tale... LOL or maybe I should just stick to reading them... 
This tale as old as time has a big twist... Our beast becomes human but not before the tale is flipped, with his belle of the ball becoming a scarred beast of the tale. Bitten and clawed by the beast to marr her beauty and let the magic of the rose be her curse... He is her obsession, she see that in his hand held mirror - from Krescendo - while the magic sparkles between her and the rose...

Scallops on the Sea Floor

My mind is tired, and work has been making me even more tired... In times like this, as per usual, I tend to slip into a fantasy world where my mind doesn't need to focus on the normal, mundane and everyday, and I can have some fun that relaxes and is a distraction from Real Life... 
Fantasy folk seem to be the brightest and most colourful aspects of my mind, each picture is like a little look at my multiple personalities... Today we're heading under the sea once more... 

I've been al different kinds of fae folk by now, but I love to be either Mer or Fairy most... 
Today's Remi Mermaid is one of the stranger bottom dwellers that can be found in the underwater sands... Remi - a head from BeSpoke - is a guardian of the shellfish that likes to dress herself in many different guises... Some days she's sharp in razor shells, others it's a soft floaty skirt of seaweed but today she's decorated with pearls and shells of Scallops - like the adornment she's wearing from Faunus which can be found for the Mermay Hunt in the mainstore, and the gorgeous set of Merfolk fins, also from Faunus but available now at We Love RP - and I just love that high fantasy feeling... It's definitely helped me feel more happy to see...

Mexican or Tex-Mex?! It All Tastes GREAT!!!

Today is important for a few things... In the Netherlands it's Freedom Day, the day liberation from Nazi occupation in 1945, so the whole country is celebrating. It's also an important day for the Mexican's who are celebrating their victory against the French in 1862... Now I will totally be the first to admit that I'm NOT at all sure of anything relating to this important day for the Mexicans, but I'd love to learn... Maybe we should make a little fiesta of it... 

Now OK I will also admit that I'm not sure about anything Mexican really either... It´s a country that I want to visit, it´s on my bucket list and maybe one day I wil make it down there, but for now I hope people will excuse me if I mix up Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines... It's not really something that is differentiated between where I am in the world... 
I've tried to cater for everyone, because let's face it, it's ALL DELICIOUS... A huge pot of chili in the crock pot, and a HUGE plate of loaded nachos... I have Chicken Quesadilas and Beef Empanadas, that I hear go best with a glass of whiskey on the rocks... I'm going to Tex-Mex it up with a few Chili Dogs - from Junk Food - and maybe serve those with a shot or two of Ole Jose Tequila to wash everything down...

The Ultimate Pain Paddle!

The Demons of Hell have been tormenting people for centuries, and there has always been a bit of a pleasure when it comes to the tormenting of these souls that find their way into the darker corners of Hell... 
Depending on where you end up, you can never know which of the demons wil make an appearance, but it is safe to say that they will enjoy whatever they do... Well most of the time anyway... 

The Threll - a head from CRYPTID - Demoness is one of those that likes to inflict pain, but loves to do it in a bit of a kinky way... She's working for the deadly sins, hidden in one of the corridors of their house to assist in their work.She likes heavy metal and lots of spikes on her clothes, but puts on a costume of a Nun's headdress for her play sessions... 
Once she's pinned you to the Orion Cross - a release from Violetility at FaMESHed X until May 10th - she gets out all manner of whips, chains, crops and paddles to help her entertain herself and the Sin Demons... Things get a little boring after doing this for so long, and they are always looking for new painful methods to play around with. It has been a recent discovery, people talk about stepping on Legos being a terrible pain all the time, but they are now part of the Ultimate Pain Paddle - from Krescendo - and are eager to test it's pain providing levels...

Valentine's Treats!

I know that I have said that I am away in the UK, and that I wouldn't be blogging anything because I'm having family time... Well... That was a kinda fib on my part, it's Valentine's Day and I wouldn't have been able to pass this romance filled day by without sharing SOMETHING on my rambling space would I?! If you answered yes to that, I wonder, do you even know me at all? LOL... Of course I'd find the time to do something full of romance and hearts and far too much sweetness... 

Of course, I will admit that I KNEW there might be something coming. I got ahead of myself and set something up before I left home because I knew myself and that I simply couldn't pass by a day like Valentine's without having something to say here lol... It's an addiction I fully admit to, and I'm going to own it... 
So I'll keep things short and sweet today, and send lots of love hugs and kisses... Remember to love yourself today, doesn't matter if you're in the self-love club or you're happily with someone... Loving yourself is an important step to greatness and if there is ONE PERSON in this world we should all be able to rely on, it's ourselves...

It is time... Finally it is time... I AM ON VACATION!!!! I have a few days in the Netherlands to get some stuff done but on Wednesday I leave and I'm travelling to see my parents again... For now though I feel a little magical, though that could be the crazy busy day I've had and all of the cold medicine, but let's just go with the magic... 

There are still many magical beings in SL, visiting whilst the Midnight Order is still in town. It's here for a few days longer yet, but they are beginning to prepare for a trip to another time and place... 
The mistress of crows is waiting in the clock tower for the Glassed Crow - which grows within the mind of it's mistress and is actually a release from Tardfish - is getting excited... Some might call her bird brained, but when he's excited something magical is about to happen...

When a Wolf wants to Sleep

Tomorrow is my day off, I've been working today, and I'm counting down now until I get to go home and see my parents, but tomorrow is going to be a lazy Thursday, and I'm going to read and relax and SLEEP!! If I can pursauade my body to let me sleep without pain, if I can persuade my mind to switch off... I NEED to turn my head off and sleep... Maybe I need to start counting sheep... 

I've had many Better Days - although the pose is from -Extra- - and so now I'm ready for bed... I think I might sleep for the next 6 months of my life... Perhaps?! 
I have been reading and doing all kinds of things before bed to make sure I get a good night's sleep, and so tonight I might have to start counting sheep or something... For some reason when I think of this though my mind starts to wander, which doesn't help me sleep, and I start to wonder if a wolf was to count sheep would they be drooling as they do it? Would Grandma's bed in the Red Riding Hood story be a bit soggy if the Big Bad Wolf was counting to fall asleep in Grandma's bed?
