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.

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.
