Our mission

Are you that special person who - weary from trudging the endless superhighways - just longs to camp next to a glorious oasis of the mind? Do you desire to explore new frontiers, splash in shared ideas, fill your belly with the refreshing fruits of inspiration, and bask in the gentle rays of fond reflection?

Well, you can fuck right off. This, my friends, is not that place. This place is... The ShadowLands.

Mata Hari

"I am a woman who enjoys herself very much; sometimes I lose, sometimes I win."

So said Margaretha Zelle - better known as, Mata Hari - before losing out badly on October 15, 1917. She was executed by firing squad on this day for spying on behalf of the Germans during WWI.

She was accused of consorting with senior military officials and giving away secrets that led to the deaths of tens of thousands of lives.
