A Midsummer Marriage


  • It would hardly be Midsummer without a marriage or two. Here we find our sweethearts dressed in Gothic splendor at their new home. 
  • There are homes to purchase and several different styles of furniture to be had @ Midsummer Enchantment.

 
  • I opted for the Summerwind Cottage LI48 from Lore with furnishings from Blue Blood and [QE] Home
  • The Summerwind has 2 main rooms and a loft. Stained glass windows and ceramic tiles on the floor give it a lovely old world feeling. The walls have a cream interior and gray exterior.


  • Aborea Relax cluttered shelves from Blue Blood * in 4 color combinations includes 4 poses and also comes in a bare shelves version to hold your own clutter.
  • [QE] Home brings Aradia Wall Art and Pictures, the EXCLUSIVE to be found @ Midsummer Enchantment *. I combined it with the Repurposed Creeper Table and Pully Light which is part of their gift at SLB22.
  • Aine Ren Branch is a Hunt item * @ Midsummer Enchantment.

Midsummer Heatwave


  • Release your inner Phoenix and rise from the ashes of a past that may be preventing you from reaching your full potential.


  • The Phoenix represents rebirth. Just as the sun dies each night only to be reborn at dawn, the Phoenix relinquishes one form to appear in another. 
  • Look at each day as the opportunity for new start.
  • Fly free with the fiery animated flames of the Phoenix Corset and Phoenix Hair from Starlight Designs @ Midsummer Enchantment!

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 WarehouseDemo 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.
