Springs,wells, rivers, lakes etc. all have significance in early religions.We all come from the primordial ocean, we're told.. so no water - no life. Around my area there are many springs bearing a saint's name since the christianisation of pagan worship and local and visiting pagans leave strips of cloth (clouties) hanging from the branches of the trees and bushes by the well or spring today. This practice has been recorded from around the world in ancient times, in particular in India.
