Here's a sneak peek of the beautiful new Sluagh full body tattoo by Nefekalum. With an amazing sparkle as you move your arms, it will instantly turn any body into an otherworldly Unseely, or anything else come to that - let your imagination flow. I teamed it up with the gorgeous Sacrifice mask by Fika, perfect if you want to add a bit of drama to your look.
I'm also holding the elegant Korsik Orb by Petrichor, which comes with a vast animations and colour hud and will give your hands something to do if you want to give your idle poses some interest. It opens and closes too with added sparkle. Lastly there is of course the Divinity Halo with a centrally animated piece featuring eyes...
Don't forget the Engine Room is now at half time and some creators have added new and free items to tempt you with.

The Sluagh queen had been in possession of the elf's half-soul since the child had been in utero, seeing the promise of the magical potential that would one day be, knowing the secret of the elf's legacy.
Slipping into and out of her host's body for over a century, seeing what she saw, controlling her destiny, she had groomed her, tried her to make her stronger, gradually led her step by step to Astrium,.
But now the belligerent elf sought to try to steal that half-soul back. The unseeline would make her rue the day... corrupt all she held dear.
Astrium Fantasy RP:
The Highland Folk Museum is a museum and an open-air visitor attraction in Newtonmore in Badenoch and Strathspey in the Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom.
so we're starting a Changeling (World of Darkness tabletop) game... my Sluagh, Lottie, is bound to be a real pain in the ass, but cute--in a "is that girl actually alive right now, and also why is she being so weird?" kind of way.

"Of all the wonders and terrors in Irish folklore there are few quite so terrifying as the Sluagh. Tales were told of their wild hunt long before the coming of Christianity to Ireland, and even today old folk in the countryside will keep the windows on the west side of the house fastened tight at all times, but most especially during wakes or if someone in the house was unwell, for fear of the Sluagh coming to pay a midnight visit on their humble homes.
Wicked or saintly, kind or cruel, the Sluagh play no favourites, they'll take the souls of all that cross their path, although some say they have a particular taste for the living spirits of those who have found true love. The ancients used to think they were faerie gone terribly wrong, warped and twisted, without fear, reason or mercy. When the light came to Ireland they became the souls of lost sinners seeking to drag the unfaithful down to hell with them, but the result was the same.
The host of the unforgiven dead roam the earth on Samhain, Halloween, and it is for this reason that all fires were forbidden on that night in times gone by, so as not to attract their attention. Even death itself was no release for the souls they captured joined them on their hunt, spiralling throughout the lands of Ireland and further abroad on that darkest of nights.
Said one monk in times of yore, ""The spirits fly about in great clouds, up and down the face of the world like the starlings, and come back to the scenes of their earthly transgressions. No soul of them is without the clouds of earth, dimming the brightness of the works of earth. In bad nights, the Sluagh shelter themselves behind little russet docken stems and little yellow ragwort stalks. They fight battles in the air as men do on the earth.""
If denied their rightful - as they see it - feast, they don't balk at the slaughter of cattle, cats, dogs, and sheep with their poison darts. It is said that the Sluagh ""commanded men to follow them, and men obeyed, having no alternative. It was these men of earth who slew and maimed at the bidding of their spirit-masters, who in return ill-treated them in a most pitiless manner. They would be rolling and dragging and trouncing them in mud and mire and pools.""
In the form of a vast flock of black ravens twined about with undulating shadows they came, the echoes of their wings being found in stories of ill-omened birds heralding bad times ahead. The truly broken hearted might be attacked, or the foolish or unlucky might call them upon themselves by uttering the name Sluagh nine times over and over, pronounced sloo-ah for fear you might say it yourself, perhaps in a fit of sneezing. Upon closer inspection the great birds look more like wretched thin shades of their previous selves, with gnarled talons like the blackthorn's boughs for hands and feet, and wings of dusky smoke.
And once they have your scent let me tell you - you're in trouble then! If the pitiable mortal that has drawn their eye can bestir themselves it would be well to get indoors, with all locked and fastened, until the beating of dark wings fades with the light of dawn. Chroniclers of old also wisely advised avoiding places of loneliness such as dark forests and empty streets, lest a passing hunt might take a fancy to you! There is one other way to avoid joining them for all eternity, although most dreadful it is, and that's to give them another in your stead.

la santa compaña. Imagen recreada con técnica lightpainting.La Santa Compaña és, en la mitologia gallega, una processó de morts o d'ànimes en pena que a partir de la mitja nit recorren els camins. El propòsit d'aquesta processó és el de visitar o avisar a totes aquelles cases en les que en breu hi haurà un mort. Es tracta d'una tradició present també al nord de Portugal[1] i en alguns indrets de l'oest d'Astúries.[2]
A Astúries es coneix com a "Güestia".
Existeixen llegendes similars a les províncies de Lleó, Zamora, Salamanca i a Estremadura amb el nom de Huéspeda i en altres llocs de Castella amb el nom d'Estantigua.[3] El nom de Santa Compaña sembla tractar-se d'una contaminació culta de l'expressió llatina "sanctam cum pania"
Orígens
Representació de la Cacera infernal de l'artista noruec Peter Nicolai Arbo. Pintura del 1872
El tema de les processons de morts o d'ànimes és propi de la literatura i de les tradicions culturals de l'Europa occidental des de l'edat mitjana. La creença en la Santa Compaña sembla que beu d'influències antigues vinculades amb tradicions europees d'arrel indoeuropea i que el cristianisme més o menys assimilarà.[2]
Ja Martín Sarmiento, al segle xviii, i testimoni directe d'aquestes llegendes, es va convertir en un dels partidaris de considerar la Santa Compaña un fenomen vinculat a la mitologia europea, més que no pas una creença lligada a les processons d'ànimes de tradició cristiana. Xoán Cuveiro Piñol insistirà en aquesta teoria al considerar-la un mite lligat al sluagh i a la "cacera infernal".
Precisament tindrà la mateixa teoria l'antropòleg Carmelo Lisón Tolosana sobre la relació que podria tenir amb el mite de la Cacera infernal. Segons una investigació etnogràfica que va publicar sobre la Santa Compaña, estaria relacionada amb el mite germànic que van difondre les invasions d'aquests pobles durant el Baix Imperi i l'Alta Edat Mitjana amb el nom d'estandiga. Estantiga (amb "t") és amb el nom que assenyala Sarmiento que es coneix la Santa Compaña a algunes zones d'Ourense.
Tot i així no tots els autors han estat d'acord amb la teoria de l'herència germànica. Vicente Risco veia en la Santa Compaña una tradició d'arrel cristiana amb molt poques influències antigues. Segons aquest autor, per exemple, l'aspecte màgic que té aquesta tradició és una simple manifestació de la pròpia religiositat fora de les normes de la religió vigent.
En la documentació inquisitorial gallega dels segles XVI i XVII hi trobem referències de creences en ànimes errants que no van anar ni al Paradís, ni a l'Infern, ni al Purgatori.[4]

“You think I’m just a doll. A doll that’s pink and light. You’re wrong, very wrong. I am dangerous, and I will show you just how dark I can be.”
Long before mortal lips shaped their names into bedtime stories, the Fae strode through the world like gods. They were not one people, but many — courts divided by blood and kind: Sidhe, Phooka, Brownie, Sluagh, Elf, Djinn, and others now lost to memory. Each court thrived beneath its own ruler, its customs and magic as distinct as the constellations.
For an age, there was peace.
But among the Sidhe, whispers began to coil like smoke — hunger for the throne, for dominion over all courts. Ambition split the Sidhe into two rival factions, and their war pulled every court into the storm. Some courts fractured like glass, while others chose a single side and bound themselves to it with oaths and blood.
The war raged for what seemed a millennium, staining the seasons red. Fae immortality could not shield them from the sheer cost in lives, and soon the survival of their kind outweighed the old pride of keeping bloodlines pure. Across generations, the courts intermingled until the once-distinct races blurred into one. Today, all who bear the legacy are simply called Fae—though some still carry fragments of their ancient heritage in their gifts or their eyes.
Only two courts remain: Light and Dark. Their rivalry is a shadow of the great war, but the divisions run deep as ever.
And so the Fae endure—neither wholly of this world nor entirely apart from it, their shadows falling long across mortal history, waiting for the day the thrones remember their children.
The Halloween holiday is commonly thought to have pagan roots, even though the etymology of the word is Christian.[11] Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, derived from the Old Irish Samuin meaning "summer's end".[11] Samhain was the first and the most important of the four quarter days in the medieval Irish and Scottish[12] calendar[13][14] and, falling on the last day of autumn, it was a time for stock-taking and preparation for the cold winter months ahead.[11] There was also a sense that this was the time of year when the physical and supernatural worlds were closest and magical things could happen.[13][14] To ward off these spirits, the Gaels built huge, symbolically regenerative bonfires and invoked the help of the gods through animal and perhaps even human sacrifice.[11] In the Western Isles of Scotland the Sluagh, or fairy host was regarded as composed of the souls of the dead flying through the air, and the feast of the dead at Hallowe'en was likewise the festival of the fairies.[15]

Seo bocsa-each aig Poileas Shrath Chluaidh a' tighinn far an M8 aig Ibrox. Tha an sluagh-ghairm "Ag obair còmhla airson coimhearsnachd shabhailte" sgriobhte air sa Ghaidhlig cho math ris a' Bheurla. Chan e dealbh ro mhath a tha seo oir bha mi sa char aig na solais trafaig aig an am! (Na gabh dragh - is e Jenny a bha a' draibheadh!)
A Strathclyde Police horsebox coming off the M8 at Ibrox. The slogan "ag obair comhla airson coimhearsnachd shabhailte" (working together for a safe community) appears bilingually. Not a great picture but I was in the car waiting for the traffic lights to change at the time! (Don't worry - Jenny was driving!)
Everyone needs a slogan, motto, catch phrase, tagline, strapline.
The word slogan is derived from slogorn which was an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic sluagh-ghairm tanmay (sluagh "army", "host" + gairm "cry").

Teaghlach. Family.
Dh'fhaighnich mo charaid orm dealbh no dhà a thogail aig banais an nighean aice. Bha an sluagh 's a mhinistear 's a h-uile duine air falbh an uair a thog mi'n dealbh seo - bha iad nise pòsta, 's bha an teaghlach ùr leotha fhèin airson greiseag bheag airson beagan sàmhchair.
Bha am banais aca ann an Leitir Fura, Slèite, an t-Eilean Sgitheanach. Chaidh am baile seo am fuadach 's chan eil air fhàgail a-nise ach tobhtaichean. 'S ann às a bhaile seo a thàinig shin sheanair an nighean a' phòs.
I was asked to take a few photos at a wedding this week in Leitir Fura, a ruined village in Sleat, Isle of Skye. I took this photo once everyone was on their way to the dinner, the new family were joined and had a minute or two to soak it all in and relax.
Breogán aparece como o construtor da cidade de Brigantia e da Torre de Brigantia. Pero o máis importante que nos proporciona o manuscrito é que aparece por primeira vez na historia como o primeiro rei de toda a Península Ibérica, despois de librar duros combates coas tribos españolas. Os seus bisnetos, os fillos de Mil de España, serían posteriormente os conquistadores de Irlanda, co que crearían un reino hispano sobre a illa, do que descenderían os posteriores reis irlandeses. A posibilidade da súa existencia non aparece fóra das Illas Británicas: os escritores romanos e gregos nunca o mencionan; por iso, considérase que é un personaxe ficticio, o mesmo que Mil; non obstante, os seus feitos si ofrecen verosimilitude histórica: como sabemos, os estudos de ADN demostraron a orixe hispana da maioría dos irlandeses. Por todo iso, o rei do clan hispano dos escotos quizás non se chamase Breoghan, mais si puido existir con outro nome, o mesmo que o seu neto Mil.
Brisis mor, ccomlann, isccath / for sluagh' nEspaine nughrach / Breoghan na ngloro gal, ba nía / lei, do ronadh Brigantia,
(Gaña moitos combates e batallas / contra as duras tribos españolas / Breoghan, o do ruído de bravura, foi un campión / e por el Brigantia foi fundada).
Ramón Sainero "As orixes do pobo de Breogán no Leabhar Gabhála" Coruña. Biblos. 2008. Páxs. 41, 42.

Personal Comments: Sluagh has a rich navy base with a lightly metallic cobalt overlay. As with Carman, the macro looks less intense than the standard swatch, but from normal viewing distance it's a rich, smooth, opaque shadow.

Pola Totam aig Tuathanas Vane, tèarmann nàdair an RSPB faisg air Loch Lìobhann, Schd Cheann Rois.
"Sgorr a Bhreac"
A rèir coltais, is e seo sluagh ghairm clann MhicNeacail ach chan eil mi cinnteach a bheil an gràmar ceart. Beachd aig duine?
Totem pole at the RSPB Vane Farm reservation, Loch Leven, Kinross-shire.
Sgorr a Bhreac is apparently the MacNeacail/Nicolson motto but I'm not sure that the grammar is correct. Anybody got any ideas?

Messing about with letter tiles. There's never enough "H"s in these things! That's why I've had to mix in Russian scrabble tiles.
