Midsummer Dreams

Midsummer Enchantment

Midsummer is one of the major seasonal celebrations for pagan folk. It falls on the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere and marks the point at which the days are longest and nights the shortest. From this point forward, the days begin to get shorter.
Click HERE to learn more about the pagan Wheel of the year.

Some folks are familiar with Midsummer only from William Shakespeare's Play, A Midsummer's Night's Dream. Now you can recreate the faerie characters from Shakespeare's play or any other faerie character using outfits from Faunus and accessories available at Midsummer Enchantment.
Dark Passions presents Midsummer Enchantment as an opportunity to indulge in faerie parties and Gothic weddings. Have you visited yet?

Anput, Anubis' Companion

Anubis is one of the most recognizable of the Ancient Egyptian gods. He is depicted as a jackal-headed male associated with death, embalming, and the afterlife. However, many may not be aware that Anubis also has a female counterpart, his wife, Anput.
As the wife of Anubis, Anput shares responsibility as a guardian of the departed, guiding souls on their transcendent journey to the afterlife
. She is the goddess of mourning and bears the responsibility of protecting the physical remains in the course of transition.
- She is depicted as a jackal-headed woman, often in a flowing gown.
- The flowing gown in the picture is Danse Diabolique from Aii. Rigged for Reborn, Waifu, V-tech, Legacy F, Perky, Petite, it comes with a huge hud of textures.

New from Aii ~ Nautilus Armour

The wonder of the nautilus* is that each chamber in the shell is the sum of the two cells just before. Each bit of growth increases its size and power. If we can grow with each experience, think how amazing we can be!

Increase your power with this unique armor from Aii, currently @ the Warehouse Sale. It is designed to be beautiful and protective.
There are 30 different color combos available in the hud.
Rigged for Reborn, Waifu, V-tech, Legacy F, Perky, Petite.
DEMOs at the MAIN STORE and @ the Warehouse. Demo sets come linked, but pieces can be worn separately in the purchased armor.

I've combined the Nautilus Armour with the Fallen Comet BOM Body Tattoo. These tattoos blend so well with the other Aii items and integrate separate pieces into a unified whole. Find the tattoos in the MAIN STORE.

*****

*A nautilus is a type of cephalopod mollusk, related to squids, octopuses, and cuttlefish, that lives in a hard, spiral-shaped shell. They are known for their ability to control buoyancy by regulating air and water in their shell chambers, and they use jet propulsion to move through the water.
