Glastonbury Tor was located in southeast Britain in Somerset outside of Glastonbury. Many of the former Celtic Druidic Sacred Mound Sites from ages long ago, dedicated to the gracious virtues and courteous ethics of the mother goddesses, were supplanted by churches. This was done in a concentrated effort to siphon off the powerful energies of these Sacred Sites. Shaped like a large female breast, the Sacred Mound graced the Druidic Celtic landscape. Glastonbury Tor brought the benevolent motherly blessings of the Divine Feminine into outward expression and grounded the goodness of caring kindness and nurturing giving into manifestation for the people in the Glastonbury environs. In the case of Glastonbury Tor, a Christian church was built on the top of a Celtic Pagan Sacred Mound. Remnants from the fifteenth century of St. Michaels church tower remain on top of the Sacred Mound at Glastonbury Tor. The Chalice Well, a Holy Well, was across the lane from the fabled, 800 feet high power site. Located in remote hillside glades or ancient wooded landscapes, the numinous potency of Holy Wells inspired pilgrimages and journeying. Imbued with an atmosphere of soothing stillness, their waters were filled with nurturing healing graciousness and compassionate personal consideration. There were thousands upon thousands of Holy Wells that were integral to the hallowed tapestry of the Celtic Druidic landscape. Believed to be the dwelling abodes of Mother Goddesses, devotees regularly travelled to Holy Wells to request that blessings be bestowed upon them and their kinfolk.
The faithful often tossed
coins, jewelry and other valuable objects into the restorative waters, as a
token of their esteem for the Goddesses and as a form of thanks-giving. They also tied pieces of
cloth, strands of beads, and items of a symbolic nature, like farm boots or baby
rattles, to nearby bushes, shrubs, and trees. As they weathered the cyclical
seasons, they functioned as tangible tokens and friendly reminders of their
prayers, supplications. and wishes.
Celtic spiritual traditions included deeply held beliefs in an afterlife, fairy mounds, immortality, magic, nature spirits, and supernatural and mythical beings and monsters who made their home in the Otherworld. The boundaries between this world and the Otherworld were adaptable, fluidic, and malleable. All mortals had the ability or aptitude to cross over the thresholds between lands and realms and to travel back and forth between them. During Beltaine and Samhain the boundaries betwixt and between worlds disappeared for a time, for a spell. According to legend, the Tor Sacred Mound was the gateway to Annwn, the renowned Celtic otherworld and was crowned with a stone circle around 2,000 BC or earlier. Glastonbury Tor was once and important chakra point on the global light matrix system for the planet. Even though all of the ley lines, chakra point, and planetary light matrix has been superceded with a new Divine Light Matrix, Glastonbury Tor remains a Sacred Site focal point. To read about the new planetary Divine Light Matrix please see the Inspirational Insight, Divine Light Matrixes.
