This photo of Mother Ludlam's cave, on Moor Park Lane, Farnham, in Surrey, was taken by Bekie Bird. The cave was once the site of a healing spring, but has also long been associated with tales of a witch called Mother Ludlam who was said to live there. According to legend, Mother Ludlam was a good witch who would lend people cooking utensils. However, one person borrowed her largest cauldron but didn't return it.
Bekie co-hosts The Witching Hour on the Witches Inn YouTube channel, with Heather Wood. The witchy show is every Wednesday at 8pm and is free to watch.
My Pagan Eye posts show photos that I find interesting - seasonal images, pagan sites, events, or just pretty pictures. If you want to send me a photo for a Pagan Eye post, please email it to badwitch1234@gmail.com Let me know what the photo shows and whether you want your name mentioned or not. For copyright reasons, the photo must be one you have taken yourself.
