Witches and Wisewomen
Hiya everyone! Tonight we explore the free gridwide Renaissance Hunt X, whose theme is Witches, Wisewomen and Wizards. They were prominent in medieval times, then the new era of the Renaissance brought fear of the old ways so many folks who fell under the witch, wisewoman, or wizard description were forced into hiding. I do find history fascinating, particularly how individuals were affected by changing times, so the mini hunts that are a traditional part of these Renaissance hunts (and Silk Road, both organized by Historical Hunts) delight me when they educate us with notecards and links filled with intriguing details. The hunt ends on the 27th, so I do suggest you get started very quickly if you are interested! We are looking for gargoyles, which for this round are textured grey with red cracks that remind me of cooling lava. There is a picture on their website, and the first stop always provides a shoulder pet that serves as a sample and is said to help the hunt object rez faster at each stop if you are wearing it.
One of our stops with a mini hunt is Mountain Rose, with an enthralling storyline for us to take part in and find several items along the way. One of them gave me the Female Witch costume on the left, and a corresponding male version. That gift includes the forest fairy glen witch top and skirt each in fitmesh M plus Freya, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body sizes, plus a witches broom with familiar (not shown) that you can rez and ride. On the right, you can see the Wisewoman outfit, consisting of a top and skirt in the same sizes as the female witch on the left, with a medicinal plant collecting basket that I am wearing like a backpack. My apron is appropriately smudged for the hard work it takes to find all those herbs, and the tartan of the remainder of the outfit makes sense for the storyline of our adventure. There are several other prizes too, mainly home decor that you will see during the mini hunt.
Thistle Moon Designs has a fun group of prizes too, in versions for men, women, and even children. This is the lovely TMD Modern Magician in Ice Dress, and includes standard fitmesh sizes as well as Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. You will notice a beautiful accessory too, that is the Never Ever !! Necklace "Pagan" fem. Its silver and deep blue combo look so striking with this gown but will easily complement whatever else you decide to wear it with. That prize also includes a male version, which is in an equally striking black and silver combination.
:.C!L.: is a terrific place to visit for vintage fashion as well as more modern selections, and they are offering a very timely treat hiding inside their gargoyle this round :) It is called Alice 14th century Blue Gown & Hennin, and has a few components to wear together or separately if you wish. The gown comes in a classic M size along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body sizing. The hennin is the cone shaped part of the headpiece, and the tiara w/ veil is provided too. I am wearing both of those above, and I suggest trying them each on individually to see how they combine to create the magnificent headwear you see. I feel elegantly noble in this look for sure!
Speaking of elegant, COVETED! has treats for men and women in their gargoyle that will add to your roleplay experience or any random day you feel the urge to wear them. This is the charming Raspberry Renaissance Gown + Veil, and that gown is gorgeous with its sweetheart neckline and golden belt to match the shoulder bows. Something else that matches is the veil, with a built in circlet to hold it in place in style. The gown is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies.
Witchy woman! My final look of the evening is our prize from Kitty Creation, named Witches, Wisewomen and Wizards Female after the hunt's theme. There is a male prize provided in the same gargoyle, so this gift is suitable for all. Our hooded gown comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, and the prize also includes a simple sleek hairstyle for each size in a light brown shade. I decided to stick with the hair I was wearing since it worked well with the hood, but I do appreciate that the option is there since some hairstyles simply do not cooperate with hats or hoods. I have always been very fond of purple, particularly when combined with black, so this has an extra appeal simply for that reason :)
Today felt like a more efficient day, since I am not running ridiculously behind my usual schedule, and I had no bizarre dreams to linger and distract me all day like I did yesterday. The weather is getting cooler, so I am wearing longer sleeves and just more clothing in general like slipper-socks. I do enjoy autumn, so I am happy that it is arriving here in RL. Well I hope you are all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
