Ahhhh Mystical Sea

Another lovely day at Winter Island right before a storm. Choppy waves, sea air and magic!

 Found a mermaid's purse on the beach. Symbolizes prosperity and good fortune. Now residing on the sun porch to dry out - it STINKS! Here is a great Youtube i found about the contents of these black bags.

Our pup, Quan Yin loves visiting Waikiki Beach on Winter Island almost everyday. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed after May 1. Will have to figure out a way to disguise her! Maybe a mermaid's tail?

Happy Turtles sunbathing.

This week i will be adding more of the our new line of jewelry Aphrodite's Grotto to the online shop. Handcrafted with eco-friendly paper clay that is sculpted and painted. Fragments of seashells, sea glass, crystals and semiprecious stones are embedded into the clay creating ARTifacts from an ancient land that now lives under the sea. https://whispersoftheofae.com/aphrodites-grotto

Taking a stroll down to Waikiki Beach...

It finally stopped raining yesterday, Saturday 12/22/18 so my husband and i ventured over to Waikiki Beach, Winter Island. Still a tad chilly. The wind has a bite but Winter Island is nice and quiet today. Only four cars and a handful of people and a few dogs.

This pond is on the pathway down to the beach. Usually there are ducks or geese hanging out in it.

Almost there! I always feel like a little kid on vacation when i reach this point on the path. 

Can you hear the waves lapping? Smell the sea breeze? 

Ahhhhh much needed therapy!

Clouds still lingering over parts of the beach adding to the magic of the full moon scheduled to appear later in the evening.

So many gorgeous sea shells today. Lots of large clam shells, cobalt blue mollusks and a few sea shells i need to look up. My husband found a conch shell - which is rare in these parts. 

Not sure yet what i will be doing with these shells. They may be part of a new series of Sea Sprite Spirit Dolls. Who knows ... waiting for my muse to appear and direct me! This photo does not capture the beauty of the colors and the mother of pearl iridescent reflections. 

Geese swimming over to say hi.

I love writing messages to the Sea Fae in the sand. The full moon tide will bring it in later.  Grateful for a magical day and that we are back in the Witch City for this holiday season. 

Wishing all a Blessed Yule, Happy Winter Solstice & Full Moon in Cancer!

Winter Island Magic!

Yesterday i celebrated my birthday by visiting my favorite Salem spot - Winter Island. It was cold and windy but so peaceful. Lots of sea shells, especially scallops found on Waikiki Beach. 

So nice to inhale sea air and clear my head. It has been a very strange year - for all of us on the planet. Hoping to start this new one in a new light - with hope, more love, compassion and of course magic! I am grateful to be back home.

Love the Christmas wreath on the lighthouse. How did they do that? 

Waikiki Beach

One of my favorite places to walk to during spring & summer when we lived here before. Sitting on the rocks when the tide is out, watching the gulls laugh and listening to the sound of the waves lapping. It was too cold to walk today!

Love the little tide pools with sea creatures in the rocks.

Scallop shells found on the beach thanks to the Sea Faeries. Not sure what i will do with them. Maybe put them in a jar... or make a few Sea Witch Spirit Dolls? My inner child had so much fun walking on the beach looking for treasures.
