Ancient Mysteries of Cornwall Unveiled

Darren Le Baron invites you on a powerful journey into the forgotten corridors of time. 

In the far south-west of Britain, amongst the moss draped stone circles and sacred landscapes, lies a hidden story, one that links Cornwall to ancient African civilisations, Egyptian priesthoods, Phoenician seafarers, and the mythic “little ones” and giants remembered in folklore across continents.

These are not merely legends. They are cultural echoes still pulsing through ritual, place names, seasonal celebrations, and the living memory of the land itself.

This unique presentation weaves together archaeology, mythology, spirituality, and living tradition to illuminate the deep, often overlooked connections between Cornwall and ancient Africa. Through historical insight, symbolic parallels, and cross-cultural comparison, a more expansive and interconnected vision of the ancient world begins to emerge.

The talk will also offer an exclusive introduction to the forthcoming Ancient Pathways: a 5 day cultural journey through Cornwall immersion. You will explore the significance of the Padstow May Day festivities and the legendary ‘Obby ’Oss procession; a primal celebration rooted in fertility, seasonal cycles, and the eternal dance between the seen and unseen. You will be introduced to the enduring Green Man and Goddess traditions that continue to shape Cornwall’s spiritual identity.
