In her 9th decade, Yayoi Kusama is still producing works that stun the art world. This Spring two of her famous infinity rooms and a retrospective of her work come to together at The Art Factory. If you have not been lucky enough to experience her work in the Real World why not come and experience it here and learn more about Japan's most famous living artist.

At Steamland. I'm going to work on putting together Men's Steampunk outfits. If anyone has Mens Outfits and would like to contribute to the store, please place in box with a LM to your store and it will be added. P.s. I may use some pieces to make new outfits as well :) Come visit and see whats there so far!

On the new, 4x4 sim there are over 100 new houses. There is a dream house for everyone. A houses gallery and not just a picture in a shop on a box. Relax, look for a house, take a look and take it with you. The dream house sim for demanding residents. Visit us and be amazed.

Dear Friends,

I have planned this day for weeks. I have made a description without personal details.
I am preparing a set out of my music collection that is a bit of a wild mix and ride through different styles of music.
Feel free to jump in anytime. I know there are lots of other parties going on.
If I could I would love to visit them also...


􀀁 - your space shuttle


􀀂 - the turning wheel


􀀃 - the witch


􀀀 - the animals

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mabon Celebration
The animals on my picture:
🐘 The Elephant — Memory, Wisdom, Abundance

The elephant represents memory, life experience, strength, and community . In your image, it feels like a large, calm protective presence in the background.

That fits Mabon particularly well:

We look back at what has grown and acknowledge what has carried us.

The little sign hanging from the elephant is also interesting:

FREEDOM · CREATIVITY · HEART SPACE

This almost turns the elephant into a guardian of your three central values .

🐆 The Black Panther — Strength, Independence, the Unseen

The panther brings a completely different energy: instinct, self-determination, inner strength, and the ability to move through darker phases .

It is lying there calmly. It does not need to prove anything.

That fits beautifully with the transition from the light half of the year into the darker season:

Not everything has to be fought. Some things are allowed to return to the darkness.

🐺 The Wolf — Community and the Individual Path

The wolf is particularly interesting because it represents both community and individuality .

It belongs to the pack — while remaining an individual creature.

That connects directly with your word:

COMMUNITY

Mabon is also a celebration of sharing, community, and gratitude for what has been created together .

🧸 The Teddy Bear — The Inner Child

The teddy bear is, of course, not a Celtic symbol historically. But within your personal image , it serves a different purpose.

It represents:

comfort
security
vulnerability
playful creativity
the desire to protect something precious

And that creates a beautiful contrast with the large, wild animals.

The woman is holding the bear for a reason : between the panther, wolf, and elephant there is something remarkably gentle.

👩 The Woman in the Center

Actually, she is the connecting element.

She sits between:

Panther – Bear – Wolf – Elephant

and therefore between instinct, vulnerability, community, and wisdom .

That makes the image much more interesting than simply a “fantasy autumn scene.”

🍂 And the Fruits in the Foreground?

The pumpkins, apples, grapes, nuts, and grain are actually the clearest Mabon references for me:

Harvest → Abundance → Gratitude → Sharing → Transition

And that is why your subtitle

LAST FAMILY MEETING

works so well: it transforms the scene from merely an autumn celebration into a kind of last gathering together before the changing of the season .

The symbolism of the whole image

If we read the entire image as a symbolic language, it could be summed up like this:

🐘 Remember
🐆 Be strong
🐺 Belong
🧸 Stay tender
🍂 Give thanks
🔄 Turn the wheel

That, in my view, is the stronger interpretation than trying to assign supposedly “original Celtic” meanings to every animal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The turning wheel of animals:

🐘 Der Elefant – Erinnerung, Weisheit, Fülle

Der Elefant steht für Erinnerung, Lebenserfahrung, Stärke und Gemeinschaft . In deinem Bild wirkt er wie eine große, ruhige Schutzfigur im Hintergrund.

Das passt besonders gut zu Mabon:
Wir schauen zurück auf das, was gewachsen ist, und erkennen an, was uns getragen hat.

Interessant ist auch das kleine Schild an ihm:

> FREEDOM · CREATIVITY · HEART SPACE

Damit wird der Elefant fast zu einem Hüter deiner drei zentralen Werte .

🐆 Der schwarze Panther – Kraft, Unabhängigkeit, das Unsichtbare

Der Panther bringt eine völlig andere Energie hinein: Instinkt, Selbstbestimmung, innere Stärke und die Fähigkeit, durch dunklere Phasen zu gehen .

Er liegt sehr ruhig da. Er muss nichts beweisen.

Das passt hervorragend zum Übergang vom hellen zum dunkleren Teil des Jahres:
Nicht alles muss bekämpft werden. Manche Dinge dürfen einfach in die Dunkelheit zurückkehren.

🐺 Der Wolf – Gemeinschaft und eigener Weg

Der Wolf ist besonders interessant, weil er gleichzeitig für Gemeinschaft und Individualität steht.

Er gehört zum Rudel – und bleibt trotzdem ein eigenständiges Wesen.

Das passt zu deinem Text:

COMMUNITY

Mabon ist schließlich auch ein Fest des Teilens, der Gemeinschaft und der Dankbarkeit für das, was gemeinsam entstanden ist .

🧸 Der Teddybär – das innere Kind

Der Teddybär ist historisch natürlich kein keltisches Symbol. Aber in deinem persönlichen Bild erfüllt er eine andere Funktion.

Er steht für:

Trost
Geborgenheit
Verletzlichkeit
spielerische Kreativität
das Bedürfnis, etwas Wertvolles zu bewahren

Und genau dadurch entsteht ein schöner Kontrast zu den großen, wilden Tieren.

Die Frau hält den Bären nicht zufällig in den Armen: Zwischen Panther, Wolf und Elefant befindet sich etwas ausgesprochen Sanftes.

👩 Die Frau in der Mitte

Eigentlich ist sie das verbindende Element.

Sie sitzt zwischen:

Panther – Bär – Wolf – Elefant

und damit zwischen Instinkt, Verletzlichkeit, Gemeinschaft und Weisheit .

Das macht das Bild viel interessanter als eine bloße „Herbst-Fantasy-Szene“.

🍂 Und die Früchte vorne?

Die Kürbisse, Äpfel, Trauben, Nüsse und das Getreide sind für mich sogar der eindeutigste Mabon-Hinweis:

Ernte → Fülle → Dankbarkeit → Teilen → Übergang

Und genau deshalb funktioniert dein Untertitel

> LAST FAMILY MEETING

so gut: Es macht aus der Szene nicht nur eine Herbstfeier, sondern tatsächlich eine Art letzte gemeinsame Zusammenkunft vor dem Wechsel der Jahreszeit .

Wenn man das ganze Bild als Symbolsprache liest, könnte man es so zusammenfassen:

> 🐘 Remember
> 🐆 Be strong
> 🐺 Belong
> 🧸 Stay tender
> 🍂 Give thanks
> 🔄 Turn the wheel

Das ist meiner Meinung nach die stärkere Interpretation als zu versuchen, jedem Tier eine angeblich „original keltische“ Bedeutung anzudichten.

(no AI). So some of you are aware we have been working on hyper regions at Wolf. We have a 200x200 region (40,000 SL regions in size), we have loaded the terrain of my beloved Ireland on it (with some mods for the rivers). Note you will need WolfViewer or use WolfStorm to visit it - the region is called Wolf Nation. I'm not sure where we will go from here with it https://wolf-grid.com.

Warning FIRESTORM will crash if you try and visit this region with it.

Hello all, today in the Neverworld grid: we will sail a battle today at Noon 12.00 PM. When you travel to the Catronian Archipelago sims : you will see a landmark giver at the docks ( Stormrunner Sea Battle ) so you can get a TP to the battle seas. Or join our group ! See the website : https://catronian.jouwweb.nl/ All welcome !

After a lot of work and testing, the new NewLifeItaly Viewer for Windows is finally available, created specifically for our grid.

This is not the usual Viewer that needs to be configured. It is already set up exclusively for NewLifeItaly, with our name, our icon and direct access to the grid.

The main new feature is the integration of Cam and Microphone directly inside the Viewer. A single button opens a narrow sidebar that does not cover your avatar or obstruct the view of the land. The camera and microphone can be activated separately, while the webcams of avatars in the same region are displayed vertically with scrolling.

We now have a Viewer designed to make NewLifeItaly even more complete and engaging, without requiring external programs.

The project will continue to grow with new features developed specifically for our grid.

Two new tools are now available directly from the simulator management page:

💬 Send region message
Send an instant alert to everyone currently connected to the region.

✏️ Rename region
Change the region name directly from ManagerSim. The new name is saved safely in the region configuration and becomes active after the simulator is restarted.

🔒 Both features respect your existing simulator permissions and security rules.

🛠️ BloodMoon ManagerSim – Nouvelles fonctionnalités

Deux nouveaux outils sont maintenant disponibles directement depuis la page de gestion du simulateur :

💬 Envoyer un message à la région
Envoyez une alerte instantanée à toutes les personnes actuellement connectées sur la région.

✏️ Renommer la région
Modifiez directement le nom de la région depuis ManagerSim. Le nouveau nom est enregistré de manière sécurisée dans la configuration et devient actif après le redémarrage du simulateur.

🔒 Ces deux fonctions respectent les droits d’accès et les règles de sécurité déjà en place.

🛠️ NEVERWORLD GRID — SERVER MIGRATION IN PROGRESS 🛠️

Hey everyone! NeverWorld Grid ran into a hardware issue on our end that required us to move to a new server. We're actively working through the migration — mounting the new system, restoring data, and getting everything relinked and rebooted.

The Main Grid is temporarily offline while this happens. Full data restoration takes time to do right, so we appreciate your patience — we want everything to come back exactly as it should, not rushed.

In the meantime, come build with us on the Dev Grid! 🏗️
Create an account and hop on right now:
🔗 https://dev.neverworldgrid.com/

Sandbox away, build, test, export — a good way to stay productive while we finish up.

We'll post the moment the Main Grid is back online. Thanks for hanging in there with us — NWG's coming back stronger! 💙
