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!

About The Devon Mermaid Seashell Gifts…

The Devon Mermaid is a small business venture based in the pretty seaside town of Dawlish in South Devon. I create handmade seashell gifts from shells beachcombed from local beaches or rescued from the food industry, thus avoiding landfill. It’s a truly sustainable business!

Seashell gifts make a thoughtful present year-round. My piatto di ninnoli trinket dishes are particularly popular at Christmastime, and make perfect gifts for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or Easter. Trinket dishes are not the only treasures -The Devon Mermaid has seashell necklaces for surfers, merfolk and body positive beach-babes!

If you’re holidaying in Dawlish, Teignmouth or Exeter, why not visit one of my stockists or order from The Devon Mermaid website for free personal delivery before you go home?
