Chance To Be Part Of Project Albion


ASSAP (The Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena) in partnership with Mysterious Britain & Ireland is opening up its long running Project Albion to enable members of the public to directly contribute towards it.

Project Albion is ASSAP’s ongoing census of the paranormal, an attempt to record the full spectrum of anomalies, past and present, within their geographical, as well as historical, context.

This is your opportunity to ensure that the legends, folklore, traditions and strange experiences from your neighbourhood are recorded and preserved for future generations.

If this appeals to you, please review the following guide to Project Albion. You can e-mail the information directly through to albion@mysteriousbritain.co.uk for inclusion in a forthcoming Albion Database and in the meantime it may be included on the Mysterious Britain & Ireland website.

Green stone mace found in thames

A friend who stayed at my home,(3 years) near the Thames, discovered a perfect large green stone mace in 2012. He took the mace to the British Museum and was told that a similar Mace head had been found near mortlake...He took the mace with him and has made a handle etc. He says he has taken the mace to stone henge and along the thames, and has reported back that he wants to visit with me before he takes it to the Museum...I think that the mace was an offering to the Thames and should have remained there...His wealthy friends say he shoud keep the Mace,....Im uncomfortable with the fact that the british museum is sponsored by BP and shell oil and controlled by the british Government....If this Mace head was an offering to the Thames and possibly used in a Human offering to the Thames and left there...I feel uncomfortable with this and ask if anyone could advise on the symbolism of these incredible artifacts...Any Advise or suggestions.

Re: Green stone mace found in thames

Whilst I cannot comment on the status of the British Museum, I am strongly inclined to agree with your view, which is that the artefact should be returned to the river.      I have an inner feeling that this was in the first instance (whenever when?) intended as a votary offering to the river god as percieved at that time.
