SL Destinations: The Sands of Time

Hello Travelers,

We bring you a post on the mysterious and beautiful sim “The Sands of Time.”

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sands%20of%20Time/185/191/22

 

This Beautifully landscaped sim is Home to Majilis Al Jinn.

 

The name of the sim can be translated as: The Congress (or the seat, the meeting place) of Spirits.
The Jinn are mythical beings of great power that exist somewhere between heaven and earth.

 

In western culture they are often thought of as Djinn/Jinni/ Genie, and are often the granters of wishes when found and released. In middle eastern culture, the Jinn are mentioned in the Quran as beings created by Allah, where men were created from clay, the Jinn were created from fire, and just like men, have free will, and the ability to choose to be good or not. The subject of Jinn in Muslim culture is today at least, often taboo, as they are often blamed for causing mischief on earth.

 

Majailis Al Jinn is an island reflecting the enchantment and the wonder from tales like 1001 nights, or even modern stories such as ‘Prince of Persia’. Here Western and Far East cultural influences can be found blended in.

Exploring this island, You will see The recess in the island’s center is sheltering a garden of wonders.

 

There are caves of Mystery under the palace, hidden alcoves to sit and cuddle, and even a sunken ancient temple.

 

When you visit this fabulous sim, Time is of no importance here, Stop and take time to enjoy this haven set on a vast ocean where Mystery & beauty is allowed to flourish.

 

Thank You for visiting this blog, Your support is appreciated. Stay tuned for another sweet find and Take Care.

SL Destinations: Autumn Equinox

Solstice Tidings One & All!,

This post is about one of our mutually favorite times of the year, Fall.

September 22-23, marks the Autumn Solstice., It’s the closure of summer, The reap of harvests, Enjoyment of colors on
changing leaves, And preparation of oneself both physically and mentally for the colder months ahead.

 

This change is celebrated by many different cultures all over the world in several ways.
In the U.K. for example where Revan is from, People visit the World Famous site called Stonehedge.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England.
It is generally accepted that Stonehenge was an ancient spiritual centre, and many people congregate to welcome the sun and
the new seasons.

Revan and I dressed in manner and explored SL in search for nostalgic & picturesque Fall sims.

The photo’s in this post came from 4 of the sims we enjoyed.LM’s are included below.
**SL’s Stonehedge, A cute little village on a sim called Fable, A gorgeous sim called the Kingdom of Alurel, and We had
a ball dancing to Medieval Flutes at The Renaissance Faire Isle.**

I also wrote a small poem about the Event. 🙂

 

A Season of Mellow has been ushered in.
Like an orchestra, Autumn’s song begins.

Nature’s Crescendo starts to build
Welcoming her song are those of guild.

Woodsman, Farmers, Gatherers of like.
Meeting on Meadow, travel by Pike.

Some may view this all as a Pagan’s delight,
But it is just respect of impending dark while giving thanks to sunlight.

Celebratory Feasts, Dancing in Cheer.
It is Autumnal Equinox and finally here.

SL Destinations: Macbeth

Welcome Wanderers,
This post brings you a literary gem of Foul Whisperings & Strange Matters.

 

Macbeth is a dark and powerful tragedy written by William Shakespeare.

 

It is the story of a Scottish General who received a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of
Scotland.

 

Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife Lady Macbeth, He then murders The King and takes the throne for
himself.

 

Soon after, Macbeth’s heart couldn’t handle the sin., He is wracked with guilt and paranoia, and is forced to commit MORE murders to protect himself from suspicion.

 

He and his wife descend on a complex journey of arrogance, madness, and subsequent death.

Although this sim is an educational build for a RL School, We feel it doubles as an Art Install,
Thought provoking and worthy of a visit.

 

Thanks for visiting this blog and please feel free to leave a comment.
We’d love to hear from you. 🙂

SL Destinations: Seraph City

Welcome Explorers!,

Today we are time traveling again.,
Transporting to a metropolis akin of Chicago’s yesteryear called Seraph City.

Seraph city is a themed sim comprising of shops, cafes, libraries, theaters and anything else that make a city complete.

Feeling a bit out of style?, Well Sonatta Morales’ clothing store is located here if you need a classic look to fit into character.

The sim’s design is Primarily Art Deco, with bits of retro-futurism called Deiselpunk.

Deiselpunk is an alternate version of a future 1950’s from the developed technology and society of the 1930’s, Where the Great Depression never arrived and World War II is still being fought as a prolonged Cold War.

Explore the network of drainage tunnels and Hideouts that run under the city.
But Watch out for the gator!

You may Rez your own vehicle and drive along cobblestone streets lined with Brownstones and luxurious High-rises.

Prohibition is in effect here!, There are speakeasies & posh nightclubs throughout the city.

Join the City Police or become a Bootlegger.
Which side will you Take?

We hope that you enjoy this well built creation as We have.
