Glastonbury



Sometimes when you visit a magical place it sticks with you for a long time. I visited Glastonbury in June 2008. I have been wanting to go back to that special place since the day I left. Luckily, there is a webcam that allows me to check in every morning as I drink my coffee. http://www.checkitlive.com/camera/825

As I sit and watch the quiet Glastonbury Abbey I can remember the feelings I had while I was meditating in that fascinating place. As you sit in the lush grass, you can feel the energy of past monks wandering around the old Abbey. You can feel their servitude to God as energy that is all consuming. It's hard to describe the feeling you get just by sitting there.

When I switch to the webcam that shows the Tor, I get the same energy surge. http://www.checkitlive.com/camera/901 The Tor looks down over Glastonbury proper and you get the sense of how the entire Somerset Flats were once under water. On the side of the Tor lies the entrance to Fairyland - so the legend has it. I did not believe in such a thing until I went there and experienced the playful energy that inhabits that area.

The entire town is magical. Just walking through Market Place (http://www.checkitlive.com/camera/827)or High Street (http://www.checkitlive.com/camera/826)gives you the sense that you are at Hogwarts. It is an amazing place!

Until I can return and visit the Chalice Well as well as Gog and Magog, I have to rely on my memories, pictures and the webcams to allow me to travel back to this magical place. There is so much energy that intersects in this very spot. When I was there, I missed my family at home but I was sad to leave this wonderful place. I am ready to go back. If you are on a spiritual journey, this must be one of your spots to stop and contemplate your next phase on your trip. It is well worth it!
