Today our search for the Goddess Verbeia continued and we found this beautiful carved stone at All Saint's Church in Ilkley. More preparation for my workshop at Healing Alternatives Festival on Saturday at 4pm. All workshops are FREE~ Included in your ticket 🎟

On Saturday Luna and I visited the wonderful Ilkley Manor House where the original Verbeia stone is. During the Roman occupation of Ilkley an altar was erected to Verbeia~ Goddess of the River Wharf.

The story of the Verbeia stone has been lost to history but is the only evidence we have for the Roman name for the Wharf, the Roman unit based here and its commander. It is speculated that maybe he was saved from drowning and set up the altar in gratitude...

The Altar Stone would have been used for Libations ~ liquid offerings to the Goddess Verbeia.
