This photograph shows something I found on a beach on the Isle of Islay a couple of years ago. It is a stalk of dried seaweed that had attached itself to a broken piece of mussel shell, but the effect seems like some kind of strange arrow.I particularly love the colour of the shell, bleached by the sea to lovely bands of purple in different shades. I photographed the shell-and-seaweed arrow where I found it and almost left it where it was for others to enjoy, but then I decided to pick it up and take it with me to put on my altar.
But, although the seaweed and shell seemed quite firmly attached at the time, they got crushed and fell apart in my luggage on my journey home. This photograph is all I have left.
It seemed an appropriate picture to post the same week as writing about beachcombing.
My Pagan Eye posts show photos that I find interesting, including seasonal images, pagan sites, events, or just pretty pictures. I am happy to include photos I am sent.
If you want to send me a photo for a Pagan Eye post, please email it to badwitch1234@gmail.com Let me know what the photo shows and whether you want your name mentioned or not. For copyright reasons, the photo must be one you have taken yourself and you must confirm that you are submitting it for A Bad Witch's Blog.
