The question of who really founded London, and how the city got its name, is officially a mystery. The usually quoted saga is that Brutus founded New Troy on the banks of the Thames, and this name got corrupted to Trinovantum. Then before the Romans arrived, the medieval King Lud refortified the city on its remains and called it Caer Lud meaning ‘Lud’s Fortress’.
Llud was very likely based on the Welsh medieval god, Llud Law Eraint aka Llud Silver Hand who slayed dragons and controlled magical giants who could send people to sleep with music. He is the Lud in Ludgate, the gateway to London and St. Pauls. Charles Squire in ‘Celtic Myths and Legends’ outlines how Llud comes from Lodens and is also Lot or Loth in Arthurian tradition which is Gawain’s father, ruler of the Lothians. Llud/Lodens also appears to be the same figure as the Gaulish/British hunter/fisher god of the mist and watery underworld, known as Nodens, who in turn appears to be Nuada Airgetlam, the first king of the original inhabitants of Ireland, the Tuatha de Danaan.
It’s not clear how Lud could have ended up as Lon or London. Perhaps Lodens/Nodens combined to make ‘London’. But as heroes go, the Welsh love a dragon or two.
Another theory is that London derives from Llyn dain. or Llyn din. Llyn is Welsh for Lake and English for ‘brook’. I am not sure the River Thames passes for either a lake or a brook. And it is not clear how ‘Llyn’ would become ‘Lon’. As for ‘din, this is a P celtic cumbric or Old Welsh word which becomes ‘dun’ in Q celtic Irish or Gaelic) and means a type of circular fort of earthworks with palisades atop, ie a hill fort. ‘Dun’ has the same origin as the word ‘garden’. And this is echoed in Dun Eideann (previously Din Eidyn) which is the Gaelic name for Edinburgh. There is a theory that the original Jerusalem is in Scotland and it is not out of the realms of possibility that Dun /Din Eidyn could have been the inspiration behind Garden of Eden. The original meaning of the word garden is just enclosure. Our romantic notions of that iconic garden could be way off the mark. Garden of Eden could mean a prison.
Edward P Cheney in his 1904 book ‘A Short History of England’ concurs on the don in London being from ‘dun’. But London is not really a hill fort. Unlike Edinburgh, Rome and Jerusalem, which all claim to be built on 7 hills, the modern city of London is built on gentle hills with the area around mainly flat terrain. What is likely though is that ‘dun’ may refer to the ancient Druid or original site of London which which was a high place north west of the present city, known as ‘Llandin’, now the site of Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath. At the top of this hill lies Boudicca’s Grave/Mound. She was the queen of the Iceni tribe who apparently led an uprising against the occupying Roman forces around AD60. Boudicca’s mound is aligned with the Tower and the Menhir (or London Stone) , which used to lie just south east of a stone circle on the site of St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Three of the original sacred sites of conical mounds at Llandin, the Tower of London (originally Bryn Gwyn) and Tothill Mound, (a Saxon look out point on the Thorney Island of Westminster), form near enough a right angled triangle which I have marked on the map below.
The line from Boudicca’s Mound to the Tower goes through the point where the original London Stone stood near present day St. Paul’s.
When Wren excavated the St Paul’s site he claimed the Menhir was part of something of larger foundations - perhaps a Druidic altar. The stone is formed of oolite limestone and was supposed to have been a sightline from the stone circle for the Winter solstice rising sun. As legends go it was apparently the stone that Arthur drew his sword, excalibur from. It was also the stone that the rebel leader Jack Cade is supposed to have struck his sword against, when entering the city in revolt against Henry VI.
The preservation of this anchoring stone is believed to be vital for London. It is the beating heart, which if removed or destroyed will herald the collapse of the city. As a standing stone it was of geodesic importance to the Romans who, from the point where it stood, measured all sites across Britain. It was eventually incorporated as part of St. Swithin’s Church which was bombed during the second world war. Luckily the heart of London continued beating and was moved to an alcove opposite Cannon Street station in the wall of a building which is no. 111 Cannon Street. There it sat stoically for years behind an iron grid. One of my first jobs in the 1980s took me past this alcove in the mornings, but I lacked knowledge of the stone’s significance at the time. The London stone being housed at no. 111 is not a coincidence though. This is one of the sacred numbers and just happens to divide neatly six times into 666. Our masonic overlords never do numbers by accident.
He looks a bit drab and lonely. Shouldn’t he be with his mates draped in rainbows and dancing the macarena?
The Menhir has been moved. Despite objections, as of 2018 it is incorporated in a brand new building a little to the west of the above position, courtesy of the Jewish property developers, Minerva, a company founded by Rosenfeld and Garrard who seem to claim rights to the stone. It is now in a glass display case. Historically the stone has been depicted cased in an oval housing. This is most likely an egg symbol so the stone’s association with Excalibur makes sense when you realise that the sun is a double-edged sword - it’s powerful heat force both heals and destroys. The cruciform hilt of excalibur then becomes the crossing of the sun’s ecliptic path over the celestial equator at equinox. The rebirth of the sun in spring or its dying in Autumn. Symbolic of the birth and death of gods, kings, heroes, cities.
The sword is spirit too, and the stone matter, the sword being pulled out of the stone indicates a spiritual awakening or rebirth.
Judging from this picture above, Minerva seem to have done a great job of making the stone demonic. I don’t remember it looking like that before. They should have paid heed to William Blake. He made many references to the stone, to the ancient myths and biblical lore surrounding it, and warning that woe betide those who mess with such sacred stones. They will suffer a similar fate to King David and his high priest, who learned the hard way when they tampered with the Jerusalem stone.
Here is it viewed from above:
They have been meddling with it as you can see it now looks serpent-like.
Llandin is also recorded as Lunadin, Luandan or Lan Dain / Llan Dain. John Seldon claimed that London derived from Llan Dyn (meaning Temple of Diana in Welsh). ‘Din’ or ‘dain’ could be reference to Diana and luna is moon. Diana is of course the hunter and moon goddess, also known as Artemis or Astarte amongst other names around the world.
Lan Dan could mean ‘abode of Dan’ which could refer to the Danes. Dain is also Norse for a member of the Danish Tribe, derived from ‘drengr (warrior). Many believe that the Tuatha de Danaan are the lost tribe of Dan. Led by Nuada Airgetlam, they came out of Egypt and had roots in Atlantis. There are in fact so many parallels between the pagan Israelites led by Jeroboam in the northern kingdom and the celtic Druids of the British Isles that it is likely they were one and the same people. Despite the Roman association of the god Nodens with Mars, it seems for the ancient British this guy/god was more of a moon symbol. Airgetlam means silver arm/hand. Silver is known to be a metaphor for the moon and Nodens is a fisher god of the mist/water and water is a moon symbol. So Llandin/Lunadin/Lan Dain can be linked to moon god/goddess worship. It is also possible that ‘dain’ was also an old Irish word meaning a halter for cow’s horns. This would be congruent with a hunter goddess, albeit in the earthly aspect of Taurus.
Halfway through the 15th Century , John Flete wrote on the history of Westminster Abbey. He claimed Apollo was worshipped in Westminster (the then surburban Thorneia) and Apollo’s sister, Diana was worshipped in the City of London. This can be deduced from the following line in Latin:
‘immolat Dianae Londonia, thurificat Apollini suburbana Thorneia’
The medievalist John Clark in his research on how medieval Londoners may have viewed the history of their city, mentions that in 1634, Richard Corbet, Bishop of Norwich whilst appealing for funds to repair St. Paul’s Cathedral, claimed the site had previously been a shrine to Diana. This would make sense as from the time the Romans first arrived in Britain, for several hundred years, temple sites and shrines went back and forth between pagan and Christian use. It was King Aethelbert of Kent who founded the original St. Paul’s Cathedral in 604. That was a wooden structure, erected by Mellitus, a missionary from Rome. Aethelbert was pagan but married a christian woman . He was baptised due to Augustine’s mission but he did appear to resist christianity and his sons returned to paganism.
Over the years tusks of boars have been found on the site of St. Paul’s, and also horns of oxen and stags, all of which animals were favourite sacrifices of the hunter goddess, Diana. Roman lamps inscribed with crescent moons and a bronze figurine of the hunter goddess have also been discovered on the site.
William Dugdale in his 1658 history and description of the medieval St Paul’s cathedral, cites the sixteenth century antiquary, William Camden’s words on pagan worship at the site:
‘.. in the churchyard while Edward the 1st reigned, an incredible number of ox heads were dug up as we finde in our Annals which the common sort of that time made a wondering at, as the sacrifices of gentiles, but that the learned know, that Tauropolia were celebrated in the honour of Diana’.
Dugdale also documents the structure nearby known as ‘Diana’s Chamber’. In fact Diana’s Chamber (domum quae Diane) appears several times in the records of St. Pauls. It was a large stone building north of St. Benet’s church in St. Paul’s Wharf Hill on the south side of Great Knight Rider St. It was usually a residence for St Paul’s Canons and its name has never been officially explained. Well they can’t have us suspecting that Paul the Apostle was not even in existence when worship started at that site, god forbid we might suspect their seats of spiritual power are actually pagan shrines or temples.
Charles and Diana broke tradition to get married in St. Paul’s. It seems prior to that the only royal marriage in St. Paul’s was Catherine of Aragon’s first marriage to Henry VIII’s brother Arthur. The Pont D’Alma tunnel where Diana Spencer’s sacrificial murder took place, at the 13th pillar, is a site of ancient Merovingian worship of Diana/Artemis. Pont D’Alma means Bridge of sustenance, in the sense of the nourishing mother or Alma Mater. (It is pretty nauseating that the term ‘Alma Mater’ has been today co-opted by the university brainwashing system). True to style, Diana needed to be killed at the location of mother/hunter goddess worship.
Paris has many sacred alignments and so does London. The main Canterbury ley line which cuts right through London on its route from the old Augustine’s Abbey and Cathedral at Canterbury through to the Cistercian Abbey Dore in Herefordshire before it hits Wales is shown here ://www.davidfurlong.co.uk/leyslond1.htm . Just north of this line and running roughly parallel, I traced a line which runs from the Tower, through the London Stone site at 111 Cannon Street, through St. Paul’s, through the British Museum , the BT Tower and the Lords cricket ground. It also clips the Western edge of Regents Park on which lies the London Central Mosque.
I also noticed that The London Stone and the Tower form almost a right angle triangle with the Gherkin building in St. Mary Axe, previously the Swiss Re building.
The Gherkin, 30 St. Mary Axe
There is a weird myth associated with St. Mary Axe (with that name there’d have to be). There was a church there up until the 16th century which was known as ‘St. Mary, St. Ursula and the 11,000 virgins’. The story goes that Ursula, a 5th century princess from the south west of England and her 11,000 virgin handmaidens were captured on the way back from a European pilgrimage by the Huns. All of the virgins were beheaded by them. Ursula was alternatively saved or killed by an arrow from the bow of Attila the Hun himself. The axe used for the gruesome head-chopping deed was kept in the church and is where the name of the street, Mary Axe derives.
I have documented before in an article here, Demons From the Depths that the Babylonian Talmud mentions that each human being has 11,000 demons (10,000 to the right and 1,000 to the left). It is possible that Ursula’s ‘virgins’ are supposed to be dark or evil, perhaps aspects of herself. Ursula means ‘little she bear’. Not sure what ‘little she bear’ is doing with 11,000 virgins but suffice to say one person’s demon is another person’s Virgin Mary. Bear is antichrist symbolism and I have written extensively about this here Bear and the Antichrist . ‘Little she bear’ is very likely a reference to the lesser bear constellation, Ursa Minor, the home of the pole star. Around 500 AD the pole star became Polaris. Prior to that the last really accurate pole star had been Thuban , in the constellation of Draco, which served ancient Egypt. Thuban means large snake in Arabic. The sign of Aries rules the head/mind and beheadings are invariably symbols of the end of the Age of Aries. When John the Baptist head rolled, it was signalling Aries out, Pisces (christ) on way in. .
So this is astrological symbolism. It is telling that in Disney’s ‘Little Mermaid’ , the serpentile sea-witch antagonist (resembling a drag queen) is called Ursula. And Medusa sounds similar . I think this Ursula with the Virgins is simply undergoing a spiritual rebirth and the arrow at her neck is not spearing her, rather it is just pointing to her because she symbolises the pole star in a transitioning period. As for the Hun, the name Attila means ‘father of the earth’ , and some have suggested parallels with Attila the Hun and Arthur Pendragon
The 11,000 virgins being beheaded could also refer to the harvest. Our cult overlords refer to murder/genocide as ‘harvesting’. But there is another layer of symbolism. The virgins are Virgo reaching bottom of wheel as age of Pisces begins. It’s renewal, the virgins have to go west at the vernal equinox for the fishes to be in the east.
The earliest Roman records we have of the Latin name for London is Londinium or Londinion. Londoners were known as the ‘londiniensi’. ‘Dini means religious in Latin and dinum means divine. Ensi was a Sumerian word for a provinical ruler. So could ‘diniensi’ mean some kind of religious (roman catholic) provincial ruler? In which case what is Lon? In old Norse ‘lon’ is the depression in the bottom of a river or creek. We cannot rule out a connection with ‘one’ either because the modern word ‘loner’ or ‘alone’ simply derives from the number one. Proto celtic lono seems to stem from ‘elanti’ meaning ‘doe’ or ‘hind’. This would fit with the Diana hunter goddess theme. Deer is her sacred animal. In Old Irish ‘lon’ refers to a black bird. Maybe the Ravens around the Tower have some connection here although they are supposed to be the totem of the Welsh God ‘Bran the Blessed’. Crown derives from ancient Greek word for crow ‘korone’.
In Hindi and Punjabi ‘lon/lun’ is salt. I don’t rule out a possible connection here as all languages are connected and despite the establishment rhetoric, there is some evidence that Sanskrit and pan indo european language families have links with Semitic languages. If the ‘lon’ in London means ‘salt’ then we are talking cubic. As in the Ka’aba, Meccah. Salt has a cubic structure, and references to salt in the bible and qur’an are references to cubic shape. The London stone is roughly cuboid. So does this make London cubic in some way? Salt of the earth? The cube is a symbol of the cross, because opened up a cube becomes a cross.
The London stone was originally near the Worshipful Company of SALTERS, a livery company which is one of the 12 trade guilds hand-picked by the mayor to be of ultra importance. its always 12 isn’t it, from Alcoholics Anonymous to the tribes of Israel. . Originally there were 48 of these (same number as Greek constellations - nothing to see here). Allegedly it was only the Nazi Party in 1930s that ran the show by astrology. Historically these powerful guilds had close links with the vatican and if you want to know who really owns Britain check out my article here Who Owns Britain? Today there are 111 of these guilds. 111, now where have I heard that number before? Oh yeh ,Cannon Street. Must be magic. You have to wonder why they didn’t make it 111,000 virgins in a boat but then maybe they thought 11,000 was pushing it a bit on the believable territory. I mean can you even get 11 virgins in a mini?
Here’s a nice statue in the grounds of the Worshipful Company of Salters:
If any one can enlighten me on what a kneeling satanic looking bull has to do with salt, can you let me know in the comments.
Their motto is Sal Sapit Omnia which roughly means ‘salt knows/discerns everything’. Here is their coats of arms”
At the top if you look at the silver salt cellar, it is in the hand attached an unnaturally bent arm you can see it is the feathered serpent, emerging from the crown (corona). Crown is from the same root as korone, which is the Greek word for ‘raven’. So that logo ‘Sal Sapit Omnia’ is not really about the mineral salt, it is the serpent which in the mystery schools of ancient Egypt is the very embodiment of discernment. The raised serpent is the symbol for discernment, discrimination. As for the diseased-looking beasts, that is you and me, the human being chained to the half cube of visible/sensory reality. As with the Devil card in the tarot. If you look closely at the chains you will see they are loose. They are the chains of our own choices.
These forces are fully aware and okay with the fact they are deceiving us. All these trade guilds in the city are on City of London Corporation territory, that shady set up operating outside the rules that the rest of us given, with their own unelected Remembrancer as their in situ parliamentary lobbyist of both commons and lords. Demonic entities abound.
Where do they get these useful pricks from?
The remembrancers do their best to hide from the media. It’s not really great PR to let people know you you’ve never been elected but have a special seat in parliament so that you can lobby to your heart’s content.
Is London then, the City of the moon goddess? Probably.
Interesting. One part that stuck out to me is the part of the sun and the number 111. Have you seen the magic square of the sun (6x6 blocks)? It can be found on a qui j google search. When the numbers are added up vertically, it will equal 111. By adding the 6 rows or columns you will get 666. In Greek, the numeric word is "he phren" representing the lower mind and beast. Just as mentioned in revolation: the number of man and the beast.
I haven't heard of the Artemis project nor the association with Mary as 'sea.' But my wheels are turning. Make sense, with the prophecy of Zoroaster, that Mary was impregnated by pure water/river. By the Egyptian priest code- sea salt was avoided, but river water was considered purr (virgin).
Even though I am ignorant of the Artemis project, I have been following the Thunderbolts Project, which is science based with its connection to ancient mythologies.
