Boscastle Experience

Mid September Mark drove me to Boscastle to visit The Museum of Witchcraft. I knew there were some beautiful scenes by the water too, but I wasn't at all expecting...just wow. There are no words, nor camera that can capture the beauty I was lucky enough to experience that day. It was supposed to be a dark, cloudy, miserably rainy day, but did not end up that way at all!
Enjoy the pics!

 Within the town, nestled in a valley...

 Walking toward the museum...

 Just outside

This was an awesome place. Not at all hokey as I kind of feared.

I would have taken more pics, but it just didn't feel right to, but I'll share a few from what I did take...

 

"Keys, especially old ones, are thought to be powerful magical objects.

Keys are associated with the Goddess Hecate and Janus, the Roman God of doors. 

Three keys on a chain will bring health, wealth and love.

Place an old key under your bed to banish nightmares, or in a cradle to protect a child."

 I especially love the "eye beads" to the left and wish they had been selling some. The place is truly more dedicated to sharing information than it is making money off shit in a gift shop, so I appreciated that...with that said, I still really wish they'd had eye beads...

 "Hand of Fatima: This ancient symbol ensures protection against 'the evil eye.'

In some parts of the world they are hung on doors to protect the house, but usually they are worn around the neck."

 Heading out toward the water now...

 Walking out of the valley and...

It's getting gorgeous!

 Up up up!

Doesn't he look so 18 with his hat? He knows. And I love him anyway.

Yeah... We don't know what's going on with Mark's expression here...

  It didn't matter which direction you looked, it was lovely everywhere!

 My fearless man...I am not so brave, I'm afraid.

 I asked that he not go too close to the edge for my sake... this would be him listening to me.

Don't look down! But it is a beautiful sight!

Way back down.

 And back to the town where our car awaits...If not for the need to eat, we could have stayed longer.

 On our drive back, the sun was burning up the sky! I'd never seen it so on fire. Mark pulled off the road so I could take a photo. I couldn't capture the intensity, but man was I happy to stand there and look at it!

Great day!
