Sacred sites in the city.

I'm going to be working on a replacement for http://urbanpaganism.info/ over the next couple of weeks. It's going to involve using Google Maps to plot out and discuss 'sacred sites' in urban locations

Anything I can find on a map with a simple search is fine - once I've got it in Google Maps I can get the lat/long to put into the app.

As far as the definition of 'sacred' - my initial view is that this would probably be places that speak to someone on a personal level, ideally with a note of why. Ultimately, what counts for the site will be determined by the users of the site. My goal is to provide a resource for people who might be new to or visiting an area - or maybe just want to find a new aspect to their city.

I'm sure that the local Pagan Federation would take that line, but frankly it's not for them. People with that kind of thinking are more likely to ascribe to the 'real Pagans don't like cities' mentality that I really hate.

Feel free to talk about/promote your book on here - there's precious few decent resources for urban Paganism that aren't about recreating nature in a windowbox.
