Introduction

Thanks for joining us once again. 

The other day we crossed the bridge at Pines Way. Yellow foam floated on the surface, like someone had poured washing up liquid into the canal. No one else stopped to look. 

Last week one of us walked down a suburban street in Bath. A stream of water poured from a gap at the base of a bush with the strength of a hosepipe on full blast. The bush was at the top of a hill jammed with parked cars. Thanks to leaves clogging the drains, the torrent ran all the way to the bottom, and pooled at a busy junction.

The stream continues four days later. Foam still floats down the river. Has no-one in the nearby houses looked out their window? Does nobody care about the river by their front door? Are the citizens of Bath that blasé about water

Many of our new posts contain recordings of those who have seen the goddess. We decided not to use the loose interview form of our previous transcripts, but allowed our interviewees to record a monologue of their experiences. 

This is not an interrogation. Our questions will not prove or disprove the metaphysical. Instead we wanted you to hear their sincerity, understand that even if you do not believe their story to be true, these are not liars. 

Alongside the audio files are a final piece of history on the mythology of the goddess, and a trip to a site of special interest to Sulis Minerva. One you could walk past without realising any significance.

Unless there is something exceptional, these final tales are the end of our journey. And do not worry. We promise that there is a conclusion. We have an answer to if the goddess exists. 

So here we go.
