The Lighthouse - Vol. 2 No. 001
The Lighthouse, was a short-lived occult journal, edited by Alex Langstone, and dedicated to the worship of the Great Divine Goddess. At the time of the journal’s conception, the editor was running an official Fellowship of Isis group, which had its temple sited in the historic Essex fishing port of Leigh-on-Sea. The third and final edition of the journal was produced a few years later in a flat overlooking the exquisite beach at Porthtowan in Cornwall and had a more eclectic vibe.
The aims of the journal is that of spreading greater awareness of Paganism and especially the Religion of the Goddess. We have had two thousand years of Patriarchy, the time is right for the return of the Goddess. With the ideas of many people from differing traditions and beliefs, we hope to create a multi-cultural experience; an experience of the Creatress: our Holy Mother, the Cosmic deity from whence all life sprang. She of the dark, bitter sea; She of the green lanes; She of the Glory of the Stars; She of the darkness of night; She sacred waterways; She of the lines of power;
She of the silver moon; She of the life-giving power of the sun; She of the secret ways; She of the eternal sight; She of the faerie mound; She of the holy innocence; She who is the taker of life; She who is the Cosmic Mother of all. Blessed be to the Gracious Goddess.You can find out more from the official online archive here https://albionssacredheritage.blogspot.com/

Hellebore: Yuletide Hauntings
Spectral Roman armies wading across newly built motorways, grey ladies roaming the corridors of stately homes, phantom coaches driven by headless squires. Britain is a haunted land, with layers of history crawling between the shadows.
