Gimlé (or Gimli, sometimes spelled Gimlé) is a place from Norse mythology, described most prominently in the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda. It is often interpreted as a kind of paradise or afterlife hall that will remain even after Ragnarök, the great destruction of the cosmos. In short: Gimlé is the shining, eternal hall of peace where the good will dwell after the end of the world.
Gimle in Second Life is a vibrant community space created by a group of like-minded friends, many of them from Northern Europe. Their vision was simple: to build a welcoming place where people can gather for events, games, and good company. The result is a beautifully landscaped region—thoughtfully designed, picturesque, and perfect for both exploration and photography.
I had the pleasure of visiting Gimle yesterday for their Afternoon of Musical Magic event, and it truly lived up to its name.
🎶 The Celebration Begins
The festivities opened with resident DJ Stella (Stella Guardian), who set the tone with an energetic set of tunes that quickly had the crowd dancing. Her engaging style, quick wit, and friendly interaction in local chat made everyone feel included, and the atmosphere was warm and lively from the very start.
🎸 Shantu Selene
The first live performance came from the immensely talented Shantu Selene. A gifted songwriter and musician, Shantu blends poetic lyrics with romantic guitar work and hypnotic vocals. His performance was full of passion and joy, weaving timeless stories into every song. His powerful, heartfelt voice carried so much energy that it felt like it could melt pixels right off the screen.
🌟 Grace McDonnough
Next up was the enchanting Grace McDonnough, another exceptional songwriter and musician. With a soothing voice and graceful guitar, she delivered a spellbinding mix of covers and originals. Her music was at once comforting and exhilarating, leaving hearts pounding, spirits lifted, and minds buzzing with emotion.
✨ An Evening to Remember
From start to finish, the event captured everything that makes Gimle special—community, artistry, and pure enjoyment. It was a wonderful evening, one I truly hope to experience again soon.
