Moonfall Werewolf from Aii

Even a man who is pure in heart

And says his prayers by night

May become a wolf when the wolf's bane blooms

And the autumn moon is bright

~ poem written by Siodmak and recited by

Maria Ouspenskaya in the 1941 film the Wolfman

The werewolf first appeared in ancient Greece, in the myth of King Lycaon of Acardia, who was turned into a wolf by the great god Zeus for despicable behavior.
Werewolves have been part of human myth and legend for centuries in every part of the world. At certain times in history, there have been major panics involving werewolf attacks. In recent years the werewolf has become a sympathetic character, often doomed to a life of sorrow and self-loathing through no fault of their own.
Their strong visual appeal and the challenge of transforming a human actor to wolf form has made them a popular film subject.

Aii has created the ultimate Werewolf avatar in their new release, Moonfall Werewolf, currently available at the Midnight Order.
This avatar has 60 preset PBR fur textures, additional tattoos, optional hair braids, 8 mouth and 8 nail colors. Two body shapes are included. An internal AO controls the snarls and menacing gait.
Straps, jewelry and a loin cloth are included so you really don't need to look farther to create a complete look.
DEMOs are available at Midnight Order till August 20 and at the Aii MAIN Store.

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 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?
