Running Hare Talismans

Check out my Cabinet of Curiosities for seashell collectables, talismans, pocket charms, offerings and altar goods. Wiccans, Shamans, Druids, Hedgewitches, Tarot readers, Psychics, Reiki Masters and practitioners will find sea goddess talismans blessed by the moon and infused with positive energy created within a breath’s distance of Mother Ocean. Wellness, Healing and Ritual take time, which is why every Devon Mermaid creation is made to order, especially for you. My creative environment is protected with the positive presence of tidal energies, crystal lunar light and the calming presence of animal spirits, combined to create a balance that is infused within each mermaid’s treasure. Sun-blessed hours and mystic night are equally involved as times of creativity and fusion. The coastline I connect with from my workshop is a grounding, yet freeing, liminal space which guides me in everything I create. Whatever your holistic or spiritual pathway, please take a moment to browse my offerings. 

Bright Blessings!

The Devon Mermaid

]]> Precisely, this glass dish, inherited from my grandmother, a stout Victorian lady. It’s a beautiful little work of art made from decoupaged multicoloured sweetie wrappers – imagine Quality Street – (other sweeties are available) set inside a glass frame and painted in gold on the back. Taking this as my inspiration The Devon Mermaid has reimagined another classic household item, this time from the 1960s, the ubiquitous scallop shell ashtray. How something so naturally beautiful ended up being used for something so ugly baffles me. So, here are my rescued scallop shells, repurposed by The Devon Mermaid into something beautiful. I hope you like them.
