  Buy Now (Book Link) "The angels speak in a language older than Babel, and London trembles at their words." In the shadowed chambers of Mortlake, just outside London's ancient boundaries, two men sat before a crystal sphere that would forever change the course of Western occultism. Dr John Dee, Queen Elizabeth's most trusted advisor, and Edward Kelley, a mysterious scryer with a dark past, were about to receive communications they believed came directly from the angelic realm. What emerged from their sessions between 1582 and 1587 was the Enochian system—a complete magical language, cosmology, and ritual practice that would influence occultists for centuries to come. But these were no mere scholarly exercises. The angelic conversations that took place in Dee's Mortlake library were part of a larger work to transform London itself into a vessel for divine power, preparing the city for its role as the centre of a new spiritual empire that would span the globe.

Post #1. The Serpent River: How the Thames Shaped London's Occult Destiny.

Before London was a city, it was a river. The Thames, a winding, serpentine body of water, is the true foundation of London's magical power. For millennia, this river has been the central artery of a vast occult temple, its currents carrying not just water, but spiritual energy, its banks the site of ancient rituals that laid the groundwork for a global magical empire.

This isn't the history you were taught in school. This is the hidden history, the story of London as a black magic temple, a narrative that begins not with Roman conquerors, but with the very land itself.

                                    The Mystical Serpent (River Thames)                                             

The Thames as a Primal Ley Line

Ley lines, the invisible channels of earth energy that crisscross the globe, are the circulatory system of our planet's magical body. The Thames is no mere river; it is a major ley line, a powerful conduit of telluric force. Its serpentine path is no accident; it mirrors the kundalini energy of Hindu mysticism, the coiled serpent of primal power that, when awakened, grants immense spiritual authority.

Ancient peoples understood this. They didn't see a simple river; they saw a living entity, a god. They built their sacred sites along its banks, tapping into its power, making offerings to appease its spirit. The 300+ Bronze Age swords found in the Thames are not accidental losses; they are votive offerings, sacrifices to the river god, payments for the use of its immense magical power.

The Three Sacred Mounds: An Ancient Power Triangle

Long before the Romans arrived, the landscape of London was dominated by three sacred mounds: Tower Hill, Cornhill, and Ludgate Hill. These were not natural formations; they were deliberately constructed or modified to form a perfect equilateral triangle, a potent symbol of magical manifestation. This triangle, with the Thames as its base, formed the energetic heart of the nascent temple.


  • Tower Hill: The seat of martial power, the guardian of the eastern gate.

  • Cornhill: The centre of commerce and abundance.

  • Ludgate Hill: The site of spiritual authority, later to be home to St. Paul's Cathedral.


These three mounds, aligned with celestial events and connected by unseen energy lines, created a powerful vortex. In this place, the veil between worlds was thin, a perfect location for the construction of a city-sized magical engine.

The Sacrificial Soul of the City

The power of the Thames and the sacred mounds was not enough. To truly activate the temple, it required a blood sacrifice. The bog bodies found in and around London, the ritualistically placed skulls, the tales of human sacrifice in Celtic lore – these are not mere historical curiosities. They are the grim reality of the price paid to consecrate the land, to bind its spirits to the will of the temple builders.

The city's very soul was forged in these ancient rituals. The energy of these sacrifices still permeates the ground, a dark foundation upon which centuries of magical workings have been built.

The Serpent's Legacy

Every aspect of London's subsequent history, from the Roman Mithraic temples to the modern financial district, is built upon this ancient foundation. The Thames remains the city's primary source of power, its serpentine form a constant reminder of the primal, occult forces that have shaped London's destiny.

In our next post, we will explore how the Romans, with their sophisticated understanding of magic and engineering, took this ancient, raw power and began to build the first formal structures of the black magic temple, laying the groundwork for an empire that would one day rule the world.
