The Right Recipe

Recipe

Ingredients:

1  dash of romance

2  lbs of Twilight

4  cups of magic

A  splash of mystery

Directions: combine ingredients vibrantly!

End result? Darkmoon Angelgate.

Angelgate established and created by the Sanctuary Project (East Anglia, UK) is on a dual mission.

“To create and provide therapeutic approaches to support mental health and well being. (We enable creative, spiritual and therapeutic exploration for individuals and groups.) And to explore the potential of virtual worlds as a medium for personal and community transformation. Angelgate is a virtual space for real life activity.”

 Although their statement sounds a bit dry and clinical, what they've created in SL is anything but. In fact Angelgate home both to Darkmoon and Angelos, is an extraordinary environment, an alternate reality within an alternate reality. Rich in mystery and folklore, it is a recipe for a spell that casts the magic of flawless beauty.

Twilight in Darkmoon, is that time of day when light and dark vie for attention while remaining in perfect harmony. Sweets and wine sit on a table nestled inside a charming gazebo atop a rolling hill; a romantic setting to enjoy intimate conversations. In the distance, graceful swan shaped boats rest next to quaint docks bathed in sunset light. All are ready at a moments notice to gently float you through mystical caverns full of strange and wondrous surprises. Tell your friends ghost stories in an ancient cave with petroglyph decorated walls while hunkered down around an ancient campfire. Dance with fairies in an enchanted forest. Deliver a vampire nip to your lovers paled skin throat. Spontaneous role play is encouraged here, but leave your Gor home. This is a place of emotional fantasy and deep spirituality.

Surprisingly, it is also a place of learning! Ever wanted to know the mythical or spiritual traditions of a given culture? Most objects here are clickable and each click delivers delightful snippets of knowledge!

Collect notecards filled with information about everything from the uses of lavender to the details of the Fallen Pillars of Atlantis beneath the sea. Other clicks lead to fascinating web pages that keep you entranced for hours.

Mysterious, magical and romantic. Darkmoon is a dream of yearnings end. Sit on a rock on a hill that overlooks the water and experience a sense of real life tranquility. Get a kiss from your immortal beloved under the mother tree and taste it on your own very real human lips. You'll fall in love with this little slice of heaven. Let it cast it's spell. It's the light, the last sanctuary if you will, of the soul who thirsts for what could be if only one had the right recipe...,

The Dot In The Exclamation Point



It's like the vampire's teeth.

Or that one riff in the Phantom Of The Opera score
that creeps you out but sets the mood for the entire production.

Sinatra Spook House is those teeth, that note, the icing on the cake.

Hidden inside a large warehouse Sinatra's Spook House amusement ride takes you through his version of the dark and the things that live inside it.
You pay 10L to ride, sit on the contradictory  cute little purple train, (cute? purple?) put 
your camera in mouselook and type SPOOKY into chat, and the train begins to roll.  Slowly you glide through dim corridors full of creepy surprises, a constantly moving kaleidoscope of riot, and color.
It's a quick jaunt through the night, a fun diversion with friends before you're off to darker adventures. 
And although it's the dot in the exclamation, it is worthy of mention. Sinatra's Spook House adds that special touch to any dark SL experience.


Sinatra also makes some pretty interesting gadgets and motorbikes, check out the pics on Flickr
