Fortean London: The Sacred and Profane

Event information

Join the London Fortean Society for a night of shrines and magic in London with three expert City explorers and magical practitioners.

Caroline Wise: The Lost Goddess of London
In the City there was once a great goddess. She resurfaces at various times. Who is she? Why is she here? Where can we find her and what Fortean phenomena has she generated?

Peter Watts: London's Secret Shrine
Exploring London's secret shrines, from spoons to skateboards and how the city commemorates the dead. Peter Watts is a writer and London nerd who has written about architecture, beer, buses, drugs, music, tunnels, boats, zoos and pretty much everything else in between.

John Constable: Goose and Crow at Crossbones Graveyard
John Constable aka John Crow is the author of The Southwark Mysteries, a magical work received in a vision of Cross Bones, south London's outcasts' burial ground. In this talk, he explores the site's extraordinary past, present and future.

Each events begins with our fortmanteau of topical fortean stories.
