How Magic Made London - From the Bronze Age to now - Introducing my new series about the OCCULT!

If 2025 was the year of criminals for Macabre London then 2026 is the year of Magic!I'm so excited to be sharing my new series with you in this introduction episode. I'll be letting you in on my plans for this series, how I'll be exploring things and just what I'll be covering.I'll be taking things all the way back to the very beginnings of belief in London before it was even called London.Starting with an introduction to the occult and exactly what that means plus what you can expect in the first few episodes- spoiler alert, we'll be going over the first time London burned in the great fire that may have been caused by a goddess.But for the moment, I'm going to be introducing what this series is all about, how you can get involved and for the first time, welcoming experts to teach you AND me about these incredible esoteric worlds that we've yet to delve down. This will still be the Macabre London you know and love and I'll still be following real life stories which are linked to the occult.Expect tales of prehistoric beliefs, how London was made alongside the druids, Roman curses, medieval witch hunts, how London had a queen who was assisted by a magician, the search for gold, the science behind divination, how the tarot was formed, the Victorian obsession with psychics and psychedelics and how the Golden Dawn helped to bring about more new spiritual ideas in London than has possibly been seen ever since.We'll zoom into the astral realm of war time London and beyond into the occult resurgence of the 1970's then all the way up to the modern day and how Hackney may be a new spiritual portal! So if you're interested in the strange, then this series is for you!So if you're interested in magic, the occult, historical beliefs 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!------------------------If you love British true crime, unsolved mysteries, and historical murders, don’t miss this episode!
