English folk magic
One of the interesting things about travelling in England, especially in the more rural areas is the survival of what appear to be folk traditions. This skull, discreetly hidden away and overlooking the entrance to the village of North Bovey, is one example from Dartmoor.
A guardian, or just something fun for the tourists? Well, maybe not just for the tourists. Speaking of tourists, my portfolio is worth a look.
This figurine, on the Offa's dyke path, near Tintern Abbey is covered in offerings. It's maybe a hundred meters from 'the Devil's pulpit' - a rock where the devil would preach to the monks. Don't forget to take a look at my portfolio while you're here.
