Schoodic, a peninsula jutting into the Atlantic off the coast of Maine, isn't just a place; it's a feeling. It’s a place where the relentless rhythm of the ocean has sculpted a landscape of dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and weathered granite. But beyond the visual grandeur, there's an underlying resonance, a sense of timelessness that draws you in. Legend speaks of the 'Old Ones,' ancestral spirits tied to the rocks and the sea, and a deep connection to the earth. These are not just stories; they’re echoes of a forgotten world.
