The Tickles of a Ghostmage

The doors have opened, and the Midnight Order is here to release their magic onto the SL world for just a little while. There has been a sudden surge in magic since the doors have opened... Anyone with even the slightest hint of magical aura is already aware of it's presence. It's not just the living spirits that are able to enjoy the feeling, the dead are riding and on their way too...

That magic wakes the dead with gently tickling of some Ghostmage Hands - available from Aii at the round of Midnight Order that runs from today until February 20th - over their bare skin. It gets the magic to awaken and sparkle through their bodies, shining lights through their Archmage tattoos - from Nefekalum also at Midnight Order - it's a wonderful feeling, and the Midnight Order is the cause...

A Library of Magical Grimoires!

Let's get magical, magical... Let's get magical... Yes I sang that as I typed it to the theme of Madonna's "Let's Get Physical", but even though I've been feeling terrible lately there's always room for a little magic in me... 
While the Midnight Order is open, the magic seems to flow more freely... Since I'm feeling so horrible, the darkness in me seems to be winning... 

Since I'm sick I'm spending a lot of time reading, and therefore had to make a quick trip to the Library - an old but brilliant backdrop from Dirty Rat - but whilst I was there, I discovered the Goddess Scepter hidden among the bookstacks. As soon as my hand gripped the golden rod, books started flying from the sheves, and Ocular Lightning flashed from her eyes... The books swirling on the magic of the moment, a pair of Creature Grimoires - a gorgeous release from Aardvark - making sure I took notice, I wonder what they contain... Looks like I've found my next reads...

Candles in the Dark

Life has been busy. I've been working too hard and now that the snow is falling I feel pretty scared that I'm going to slip over in the ice I always seem to be able to do, AND I've been told by my doctor of a possible reason that I keep getting such bad migraines. I've been living in a whirlwind for the last few days... 
I HAD to find a moment to slip into my mind and drift into a world that causes me to relax, I love blogging for just that reason... I had to do something a little dark and fantastical, something a little mysterious to back my mood...

In the weakness of the light from the Mysterious Window - which happens to be a backdrop from Paparazzi - the spirits that lurk in the darkened halls are gathering... The magic they bring to the darkness slowly starting to lighten up the room... 
This spirit is bringing the light of her glowing candles... They glow an eerie green light in the quiet space of the corridor, adorning her Flamekeeper's Mantle - a gorgeously fantastical item from Quills & Curiosities at the current round of The Warehouse - along with the floating chains that follow her around, floating in the mist...

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...

She waits for her King...

HellBone is due home today... So I find myself standing around waiting on his return, not so much like the happy wife to have her hubby back home but more pensively enjoying the calm before the storm lol... I also heard somewhere that the end of Game of Thrones is soon, and even though I've never seen an episode, somehow today's picture had - I've been told - an air of GoT about it! 
Still if that's the case, Queen Rudh is ready in waiting for her "King's" return... 

On the night of the Eclipse, HellBone is returning to the arms of his Queen - not sure if it will be a warm welcome, it depends on how much laundry he has for her to do lol - but she watches out of the window and waits, knowing the sound of a roaring motorbike engine will announce his return long before she can see him...
This post was actually majorly inspired because of the cape... It was ALL about the cape, which is an ECLIPSE release from egosumaii - or {aii}. The Mortal Harvest Mantle is decorated with skulls, and comes with neat or ripped versions - the ripped being shown here - it's totally gorgeous. One of my favourite ever ECLIPSE releases, and I was so happy that I could show it off to you. 

What is she wearing;
Hair: RunAway - Sherazade Hair in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Cape: {aii}- Mortal Harvest Mantle  (Available until May 31st at ECLIPSE) 
Dress: Pixicat - Slip Dress in Dress 
Pose: elephante poses - Iza (Available until May 25th at Pose Fair) 
Backdrop: anxiety - Sempiternal (Available for use at Backdrop City)

Sins Released... Proud, Vain, but so Pretty

There are 7 of the Deadly Sins, and each has it's own attributes which come through in the demeanour of Rudh every time one of them takes over her body. Lust is most common place but sometimes, when the others have control you see a side of Rudh that is not the normal. 
Pride, or sometimes as the sin is known Vanity, doesn't tend to be something I'm very good at... I always find myself second guessing and NEVER seem to be able to feel proud of things that I've done as I have a bit of an issue with self-confidence, or more correctly a lack of self confidence!  

The Pride sin is very vain and likes to be surrounded by mirrors... She's glam and mysterious and prides herself on the magic within...
Her outfit is something chosen specifically to show off her Astral Divinity - since she's proud of being such an important demon as one of the sins, dontcha know... Hand crafted by the workers of egosuamii and United Colors she dances through The Arcade like a beacon of light her pride and vanity showing through the glittering facade... Look at me, worship me, it screams... 
I only hope some of the pride in myself shines through today...
