How do you spell Werewolf using runes? Well today we find out...kinda!

Today's episode of Macabre London: Belief and the Occult in the Capital City, explores the settling of the Anglo-saxons in London and how they used magic in their everyday lives.

We learn about how strange belief's spread in pockets of society who were far apart ( let that be a modern day lesson to us all), and how the seeds of christianity started to spread by a few princesses in Kent...who thought that to be a godly place?!?

Explore the fascinating history of London's early inhabitants, from Roman abandonment to Anglo-Saxon beliefs, magic, and the influence of pagan gods and Christianity. Discover how ancient rituals, runes, and mythologies shaped the spiritual landscape of London.

So if you're interested in magick, the occult, historical beliefs, witchcraft and just how the religion we know today was developed and forged in the old fires, with the occasional human sacrifice thrown in, then make sure you join me, this is just the beginning!

When the Roman's abandoned Londinium ( London ) they left something important behind...

A secret temple which had been dedicated to the god Mithras. But nearby, something even stranger appeared...a stash of 39 human skulls, all men, all with blunt force trauma, but who were they and how did they get here?

Today on Macabre London, we uncover the mystery behind the London Mithraeum.

Boudicca Burned London to the ground and did it so well that she left behind an archaeological layer of ash which still exists.

But what happened next? London came back bigger and bettter but it couldn't be kept safe forever.

New invaders were coming and the Romans had been called home so who was left to fight...well, no one!

Finding the city abandoned, the Anglo Saxon's were dismayed and creeped out! Who would leave such a perfect place to rot?

Join me today as we find out what happened to London once the druid and pagan ways had left and the remnants were left behind to be deciphered and decoded by new invaders.

Was St Paul's Cathedral really built on the site of an old temple dedicated to the Roman Goddess Minerva? Was the London Stone really a human sacrificial altar?

Join me and Dr Francis Young - https://drfrancisyoung.com/ as we explore the blending and shaping of London's history during the late Roman era.
