When I First Saw This Carving I Thought It Was A Giant Mushroom

When I first saw this carving I thought it was a giant mushroom

I'm all for hoarding shinies, but do you ever hide shinies for others to find? Before I heard anything about Goblincore, about a year ago, I'd pick something from my collection to take on a walkies and leave somewhere. They were almost always gone when I came back to check. I love the idea that a person or several people who walk in the same area finding random items with no idea why they are there or who left them there. Or even a magpie stealing them. At the time I told a friend that I'd started doing it and he confirmed it was weird.

Just checking out this lake

Made this necklace out of an old Two Shilling coin

Enjoying the view.

This is Llyn Fach (in English, Small Lake), in Rhigos, South Wales. It's a very interesting place.

It's a glacial lake, meaning it was left here by the glaciers that carved these Valleys out of the mountain during the Ice Age.

It used to be much smaller, but was deepened between 1909 and 1913 so it could be used as a reservoir. During this time workmen discovered the Llyn Fach Hoard.

A treasure trove of celtic bronze, most notably a cauldron, as well as several chisels, sickles and axes were discovered. Also an iron sword and spear heads. This means that this site was active during the cross over from Bronze Age to Iron Age for votive offers.

I don't know who the god, goddess or spirit the offerings were left for, but this is a holy place.
