Sacred and Spiritual connections in London
England’s capital is a thoroughly modern city with a fascinating history. Some historians have speculated that archaeological evidence points to the one time existence of at least four standing stone circles within its parameters, the sites of which are now buried beneath its modern architecture.
The clues to its sacred past are often hidden in the modern names by which areas are known. It is believed that Greenwich takes its name from ‘The Green Village’, a hint at its pre-Christian, pagan significance and associations with the Green Man or the Horned God. Visit Maze Hill and see if you can find traces of what is thought to be an ancient maze used in ceremonies and visit the annual Horn Fair at Charlton which is a modern gathering associated with an ancient fair in honour of the Horned God.
In a similar fashion, Ladywell is said to take its name from an ancient sacred well that formed part of the Pilgrims trail as they made their way to Canterbury.
Today, London is a teeming mix of the ancient and modern, but where can you go if you want to tap into the spiritual connections that thread through the city?
