There are several sacred sites within the town of Glastonbury. We are going to talk about each one. 


Glastonbury has been inhabited since neolithic times, a time when people started being more domestic, farming, less hunter gathering. They are creating home and community at this time. 

Glastonbury Abby was established  circa 712 reestablished 1539


Founder - King Ine of Wessex

The Abbey was founded in the 8th century and enlarged in the 10th. It was destroyed by a major fire in 1184, rebuilt, by the 14 century Glastonbury is one of the richest and most powerful monasteries in England. 

The Abbey was suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII of England. 


Through out history Glastonbury has been associated with the King Arthur and Avalon legend. King Arthur & Queen Guinevere’s burial place is supposed to be at the Abbey - Historians believe the monks did this to bring in more money to the Abbey. In legend, Arthur is taken to Avalon and Guinevere went to a convent at the end of that story.

Christian legends have Joseph of Arimathea founding the Abbey in the 1st Century.  


The Holy Grail - the cup used at the Last Supper with Jesus and the Apostles. Joseph of Arimethea brought the cup with him from Jerusalem. According to legend Joseph founded Glastonbury Abbey. He created a zodiac patterned floor with the Sun in the middle where the cup was kept until it was given to the Fisher King to keep safe. 


The Glastonbury Thorn - When Joseph of Arimathea landed at Wearyall Hill, he struck his staff in the ground and from its sprouted the Holy Thorn, which blossomed immediately, during midwinter. The thorne is a type found only in Lavant and it flowers at Christmas. Because of the reformation the tree was cut down, a slip took root. Then recently vandals hurt the tree and another slip took root. Another of the holy thorn grows in the Abbey grounds.


The Michael & Mary Line - This energy or ley line runs through many of the churches dedicated to Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, Saint Michael. The lines cross at three places in Glastonbury, the Abbey, Chalice Well, and the Tor or the bell tower for St. Michaels chapel. 


Chalice Well - Goddess Well - miracle water 


The Tor - Archangel Michaels Chapel - Tor guards against the Fairies invading the area. 


Thousands of people made pilgrimage to Glastonbury Abbey until the dissolution of the Monasteries. 



Corresponding Crystal Ammonite - picture - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonoidea


Ammonite are everywhere on this site as it was underwater for millions of years. These ancient sea creatures died, were fossilized, surfaced when the water drained away from the land. 


A symbol of stability, Ammonite is a protective talisman and wisdom keeper. This fossil can help you go deep within yourself giving you the opportunity to discover multidimensional of consciousness. The stone links to the goddess and the slow expanding spirals of evolution.


Place this stone over the 3rd eye, for clairvoyance and or over the heart to assist with infinite compassion.

  Archangel Michael & Archeia Faith Archangels and angels are created to serve the Creator and Mankind. In other words the angels are our helpers, they help us, by different kinds of guidance. When you receive guidance, remember to say thank you.  You do not have to elaborate, leave offerings or anything like that as the Angels were created to assist our Creator and us Humans, Be polite, say thank you.  Archeia are the divine feminine Archangels. Most of the archeia are compliments for Archangels.  Remember not to humanize Angels. They are Angels, we are humans, totally different living beings.  The angels do not punish, or force a way of being. Angels assist us with raising our resonance. Angels are not religious, they are love.  You don’t need to worship the angels to accept guidance for you.  All you have to do is say thank you.  Archangel Michael & Archeia Faith are the Archangels in charge of the Guardian angels.

Gratitude - Gratitude, thankfulness or gratefulness, from the Latin word gratus "pleasing, thankful", is a feeling of appreciation felt by and/or similar positive response shown by the recipient of kindness, gifts, help, favors, or other types of generosity, to the giver of said gifts.  The difference between Gratitude & Thankful  The Oxford Dictionary defines the word thankful as “pleased and relieved.” Both of those are great feelings. ... The Oxford Dictionary defines the word grateful as “showing an appreciation of kindness.” This is where the difference lies; being thankful is a feeling, and being grateful is an action.  When I lived in Colorado, my friend Vicki taught me about being present with my gratitudes.

As word smiths we were able to write some pretty lines, lines that resonated with us to help us with ...

A couple of weeks ago I had a very interesting conversation with one of my colleagues. We were discussing the different rates that some of some of the different energy workers.  There seems to be some who have opinions that rates may be exorbitant with some of the healers, energy workers or mediums. I gave myself a few days to think about the conversation and get clear on what I thought about the differences in rates. My opinion is those with integrity and get results should charge what they feel is appropriate.  The Equal Exchange of Energy - Remember? There may be some rates are so high that the middle class or lessor cannot afford them. What if this energy work is just for those of the upper class? Maybe this expensive energy work is for those people who assist with 'making our world a better place?' I am thankful for this.  Perhaps this energy work will help those who make great decisions for the masses, instead of just for the self. Does that make sen...
