In this enchanting episode, let’s discuss the sacred waters of Bath, England, where history, myth, and magic converge. Joined by author and high priestess Rachel Patterson, we uncover the mystery of Sulis Minerva: the ancient goddess of the hot springs.
Bath is more than a picturesque destination; it is England’s only natural hot spring, a place where the land itself holds memory. As we explore the legend of King Bladud, the temples, and the hidden magic woven into the city’s limestone foundation, we begin to understand why this place has been revered for centuries.
From ancient altars to mysterious inscriptions that read “Water is best,” we dive into the unseen power of spirits of place and how sacred sites continue to call to us across time.
✨ In this episode, we explore:
💧 Who was Sulis Minerva, and why was she worshiped here?
💧 How do the sacred waters of Bath hold healing energy?
💧 What can ancient legends teach us about modern spirituality?
Bath has long been a place of pilgrimage, transformation, and devotion. Join me as we step into its mystical past and uncover what these waters have to reveal.
