Fly Free, My Friends!

Ironically, in the 14th-17th centuries in Europe and the new Americas, the person who could free a spirit trapped at a place of execution (or assist in the birth of a baby) would be the person who might next be accused of witchcraft.

Anyone (male or female) who looked, dressed or behaved differently from the crowd could be accused of being a witch and unfortunately, would be considered guilty till proven innocent.

Celebrate your right to be yourself and wear what you want. Trick or Treat Lane is replete with opportunities to express yourself!

This outstanding look from Senzafine is the Hunt version of an EXCLUSIVE, which comes in 6 colors.

Web-sprinkled fabric with gold accents and jewels hugs the body. Wing sleeves add to the magic. [Legacy / Maitreya / Reborn]

The enchantment continues @ Trick or Treat Lane till October 31.

It's time for Trick or Treat Lane!

As the year darkens, the veil between the worlds thins. Whether you call it All Hallow's, Samhain, Hallowe'en, Dia de los Muertos or something else, it's time to celebrate life by honoring the Dead and all the other denizens of the dark.

Trick or Treat Lane offers new, exclusive and discounted items from your favorite Fantasy, Witchy, Gothic and Esoteric creators presented in a beautifully landscaped region with lots of unique scenarios for taking pictures.

Each booth has a Trick or Treat Hunt item. You have the option of hunting for little ghosts like the one I'm holding in the picture to find the Treat for L$0, or if you don't like to hunt, you can purchase the Hunt items for L$50 from the Trick or Treat bag in front of the booth. Hunt Ghosts are scattered everywhere throughout the event and are not limited to being in or around the shops.

Off the Beaten Track @ the Forgotten Forest

We all need a quiet spot where we can relax, read and perhaps work a bit of magick. My refuge features items from Dark Passions Forgotten Forest, both from the sales booths and from the Hunt Bottles.

EXCLUSIVE Raindale Acornglade Pavilion with accompanying Spooky Mushrooms in blue and purple, Wishroot Signpost and Acornglade Lanterns provide a cozy resting spot. Resize and duplicate mushrooms to suit your needs. *

Luna's Chronicles provide the Eryn Bench with couples and single female poses and Side Table with Moon Lamp *

Reading materials from [QE Home] include the Forgotten Forest Book Stack with rare mushrooms in protective terrariums, individual books which can be clicked for a brief synopsis of the text and Acherontia Candles to add a bit of light in the darkness. On the bench, a copy of Tales from the Forgotten Forest has a small Spooky Mushroom growing from the cover. Pieces available separately or in a Fat Pack. Candles are Hunt items. *

My outfit includes a Forager Shirt from The Muses [12 colors + 2 textures] * and EXCLUSIVE Elaria Jeans from Witch in a Box [4 textures][LaraX / Legacy / Reborn] *

Forgotten Forest August 21 - September 4

The Wheel of the Year turns and we find ourselves taking refuge from the heat in the Forgotten Forest. This spot is not on any map and is hidden from those who lack a sense of magick.

Dark Passions brings you the Forgotten Forest event August 21- September 4.

Your favorite fantasy, witchy, esoteric and mystical creators have gathered to share their visions and to make their newest and most unique goods available in one beautifully landscaped location.

Themes:

• Enchanted Forest • Dark Fantasy • Fairy Tales • Woodland Magic

• Mystical Creatures • Witches • Gothic Elegance • Forgotten Ruins

As you journey through the Forest, watch for Potion Bottles like the one I'm holding. Find a bottle, pay the L$25 finder's fee and add the wonders inside to your inventory. Hunt items often compliment or complete the items for sale in the booths. Bottles may be hidden or in plain sight anywhere in the event region. There are no hints, it just takes a keen eye to find them.

A Hymn for Nyx

In Greek mythology Nyx stands as the embodiment of night. Born of Chaos, she was one of the first deities to shape the universe. Nyx cloaks the world in darkness.

Mother to Sleep and Death, Nyx weaves through the myths as a figure of immense mystery and power. Her presence is felt when the skies darken and whispers of the unknown start to fill the air.

I combined items from two of my sponsors to create an evocative atmosphere for my Nyx rite.

The outfit is the lovely Danse Diabolique Gown and Cape from Aii. It comes rigged for Reborn, Waifu, V-tech, Legacy F, Perky, Petite, and includes a huge hud of textures. Pieces can be worn separately to expand the versatility of the outfit.

The setting is from [QE Home] ~ Velara Wedding Arch, Velara Crystal Clusters, Velara Candles, Velara Moonstone Path and Velara Altar Stones. Each piece has multiple color choices. There are a dozen stone textures for the Altar and Path. Pieces sold separately in dark or light or all together in a Fatpack.

Wild Roots Groupings come in multiple configurations and 6 textures.

Home Sweet Ostara Home

Not only can you find a new house and landscaping @ Ostara's Altar, you can also find the furnishings to decorate your new home. Several of the shops have houses and furniture available. When you purchase items from a themed event, you're already halfway to having a coordinated look without the frustration of jumping around the grid or doomscrolling in MP.

Take the teleporter to the Rez area to get up close and personal with some of the housing and landscaping options. I'm showing the exterior and the rear interior room from Dragon Magic Wares EXCLUSIVE Oakheart Cottage * furnished with items from [QE Home]

The decor will require a little traveling but, never fear, I've made it easy for you. Items to the right in the picture of the interior are from QE Home's EXCLUSIVE Vernal Moon * collection available @ Ostara's Altar. The rest of the furnishings and plants are available @ the [QE] Main Stores [1][2]

Outside the door to the Cottage you can see the EXCLUSIVE Ostara's Blessing Rune Reader * from Goddess Creations. It's golden, it's glowy, it has internal fires and comes nestled in field grasses and flowers! Touch it and it will give you a reading for the rune displayed.

When Darkness Falls

Though Ostara's Altar focuses more on light colors and brightness than the other Dark Passions events, there are plenty of items for those who only wear black because nothing darker has been created.

EXCLUSIVE Rina dress from Blue Blood [6 colors with black / Reborn Legacy F - Perky - Petite]
Ostara Crown from Faunus [3 colors Hunt Items]
EXCLUSIVE Hexumbra Esme Eye Makeup [8 colors EvoX BOM]
Miamai Blooming Facepaint Cheek Decor [EvoX BOM tintable]
EXCLUSIVE Tealeaf Treasures Spring Rings [6 metals / Legacy M or F, Reborn]
Eventyra Spring Magic Dust Nails [6 colors / Hunt item]

I added a tattoo not available @ Ostara's Altar 2026, but from Ostara's Altar 2024. That's one of the nicest things about the items from Dark Passions events: the quality and styles are so good that they become part of your personality. Rebirth Tattoo from Leave Your Mark Tattoo. You can find it in their Main Store.

Wings from Aii ~ Ancient Wings in sizes XS - XL. Wear them feathered or not with optional Jewelry and Armor. I'm wearing size M in their most primative form.[20 preset Wing colors + hud driven Feathers, Armor and Jewelry]

Winter Ritual @ Winter's Hollow

Joplino Winter Ritual * is just the backdrop you need for a seasonal photo shoot. It includes all the props shown. The perspective on the background itself is perfect. Top picture shows the backdrop with all the props. For the bottom picture I edited it to make the podium and book transparent so you could see the gown I'm wearing.
Seni Veiled Horns * come in Lace or Silk and are available separately or in a fatpack with both. [12 fabric colors with gold or silver trim + 8 Horn colors]
Dark intentions Christmas Gown * was originally released in 2022. I was really happy to see it @ Winter's Hollow since I had wanted to get it and had missed my chance. It's in the DI booth at a discount and is just as lovely as I remembered!
