Sloanes and Witchcraft: Winston Churchill OBOD

The roots of English mysticism are rooted deep in the past.


This photo shows a young Winston Churchill flanked by a number of men in suits and Druid robes, and documents his initiation into the Albion Lodge of the Ancient Order of Druids in August 1908 at Blenheim, his family home.


Helen Duncan was the last person charged under the Witchcraft Act in Britiain, and Churchill helped to end it. http://psychictruth.info/Medium_Helen_Duncan.htm

"Some maintain that Churchill, a natural psychic in his own right, who had been
ordained as a Druid during a special ceremony at his ancestral home of Blenheim Palace
at the turn of the century and no stranger to Spiritualism, was actually defending a religious freedom."
