Welcome to Barnet's funambulatory pathways!
A warm welcome to you, dear reader, for you have stumbled upon the path direct.
A mish-mash of psycho-geography, genius loci, occult wittering and meandering through the hyper-thickness that the Borough of Barnet has to offer.
We seek the dragon paths that run under our feet from the High Empyrean reaches of EN4 to NW2 and N11 to HA7; In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
The task is to unpack the Borough as spirit realm, saints, devils, elementals and the dead.
Our patron is St. John the Baptist whose turf is marked at the summit of High Barnet Hill looking south across the borough as he enfleshes the heavenly forces through the radials that spread out from Ground Zero.
Welcome to areas of resurgence where spirit and matter infuse and break through, to hotspots and the places where the dead hack into the minds and dwellings of the living. This is a vertical investigation, leaving no thought unturned until we are fluent in reading the signs and omens that reveal the oracles of the sleeping bride under St. Mary's at Church End.
St. John the Baptist, pray for us.
St. Peter's Arkley, pray for us.
St. Mark's Barnet, pray for us
St. Stephens Bell Hill, pray for us.
