Dark Passions Forgotten Forest 

From the Forgotten Forest

The Wall ran through the forest. There was no apparent end to it. Nor did there seem to be a gate or other way through it.  On the west side, the forest seemed darker and more forbidding. Sun dappled flowers grew on the east side. I walked along the eastern side, occasionally whacking the bricks with the stick I held in my hand. 

Suddenly the wall shimmered and an opening appeared. A Fae creature wearing nothing but a few sticks and flowers appeared and stepped through the opening before it quickly closed again.

Now the question is: was the Fae there before I touched the opening in the wall, or did the opening cause her to materialize? [Think Schrodinger's Cat]

Outfit components + Vanishing Brick Wall in 3 sizes from Starlight Designs *. The Wall has a section that turns transparent on touch for approximately 7 seconds, allowing passage through from one side to the other.  

In the background is Goth1c0 Magical Ruins *, a Forgotten Forest Hunt item.

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.

Lady in Red

My look today features the lovely Sugar Petal Gown Set from Aii. I wanted a strong presence and the red textures in the hud worked perfectly to express my idea.

The color red carries several universal symbols and themes that transcend cultural boundaries: Passion: Red is often linked to intense emotions like love, desire, and courage. A lady dressed in red may convey passion or strong feelings.

Energy: Red is a dynamic color representing vitality, action, and determination. It can symbolize life force energy or inner strength.
Courage: Wearing red can signify bravery, assertiveness, and confidence. The lady in red may exude a sense of fearlessness or boldness.*

In spirituality, the color red holds significant meaning across different cultures. It symbolizes vitality, strength, and life force energy. When incorporated into spiritual practices or rituals, red is believed to awaken inner power and courage. It can be used to channel passion towards spiritual growth or transformation.*

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.
