Pagan Eye: The Venus of Sloane Square


This statue of Venus, the Goddess of Love, adorns a fountain in London's Sloane Square. The statue was designed by sculptor Gilbert Ledward. On its basin is a relief which depicts King Charles II and his mistress Nell Gwynn by the Thames. Apparently Nell Gwynn lived in a house nearby.

With Valentine's Day this Friday, this week I'll be be posting a few things on the theme of love.

On each Pagan Eye post, I show a photo that I find interesting, with a few words about it. I'm not quite sure what I'll be including - it could be a seasonal image, a pagan site, an event, or just a pretty picture.

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.
