The Others-Neopaganism/ Paganism

A couple of miles north of Penzance, and at the end of a winding muddy path, Madron Holy Well is thought to date from pre-Christian times and is still visited by passers-by. The well is easy to find, with signposts and more traditional 'clouties' - pieces of rag tied to the tree according to traditional custom at healing wells.

The use of the cloutie is a form of good old-fashioned Cornish “get rid of” magic traditionally performed at Madron Well. The cloutie spell was used to remove ailments and was done by tying a piece of cloth around or wearing it against the area of the body that held the ailment. Upon arrival at the well the piece of cloth would be removed and hung over a branch or tied loosely to it as healing was asked of the spirits. As the cloth fell to the ground and rotted the illness would be healed.
