Ley Line Pilgrimage To Bride Well

In this day and age is Imbolc, a pagan festivity that honours Bride, the goddess of talking, smithcraft and healing, and who heralds the start of adjoin. Several holy wells were inclination ago sacred to the Goddess Bride and one of these is tinge to include been on the site of Saint Bride's Church, in Group Toll road, London. Evident personnel moreover suppose that Saint Bride is a Christianised change of the pagan goddess.

Connect Sunday, Elle and Myfanwy of the Contest of Avalon conducted an Imbolc pilgrimage to honour the Goddess Bride in a tread from London's St Paul's Place of worship to St Bride's Church along part of the St Paul's Ley Heading. I'd inclination pleasant to do a ley line tread and hang around St Bride's Church, so I went along.

Now, previously any ley line purists get rid of observations on my blog saying "I suppose you'll find St Paul's and St Brides aren't actually on the exceptionally ley line" - yes, I know. But they are each on ley suspicion (The St Paul's Ley and the Summit Church/St Bride's Ley), which run very supervise at the rule of St Bride's Church. And it is a tranquil, imperfect tread despoil in two pet sacred sites that are teeming with history, vibes and a feature of the sacred.

At St Bride's we gathered at the site of the holy well to say poems in honour of Bride. Whereas the well itself deceased in the 19th century, it is tinge to include been birthright sovereign the church in the meeting from which I took the picture at the top of this page.

Now the church we visited the crucial, which is full of familiar sight artifacts dating back as far as Roman mature. The crucial moreover has a terse and restful covert chapel that is a all-embracing place to sit and meditate for a to the same extent.

If you are in London and looking for everything to do to honor Imbolc, why not branch in the footsteps of pilgrims and tread from St Paul's to St Bride's? Set eyes on the meeting and as well as operate some time exploring the beautiful church and ancient crucial. Afterwards, I can industriously indicate the Punch Inn, birthright bumpily the corner, for rations and swig.
