May the Spirt of Avalon Be With You

Wearyall Hill

The last in the series of the Glastonbury Mystical Journey. Please read the previous three blogs.

The triangle symbolizes three levels: the beginning, middle and end. And the end had come for our journey. The last day of the journey was spent walking  the Glastonbury Pilgrim’s Trail—visiting the sites and sights of this mystical and metaphysical place and listening to the local legends. We were now included in a long list of prestigious people who had traveled the pilgrim’s road. Folklore has it that Jesus and his uncle, Joseph of Arimathaea, had been early pilgrims to Glastonbury. Jesus had come, during those unaccountable years of his life, to study with the Druids, as part of his initiation into higher wisdom. Joseph of Arimathaea had planted his Jerusalem Thorn Staff on a place called Wearyall Hill. The staff took root and sprouted branches. The present day tree is a descendant of the staff. Either you believe or you don’t. I’m a believer in mystical things and occurrences. So, our first stop on the pilgrim's trail was Wearyall Hill. We didn't climb the hill, but looked at the tree from the highway, because you can't get to close to it. Everyone would be pulling leaves and branches off of it.

 

The next stop was Glastonbury Abbey. Here I actually stepped on the possible graves of King Arthur and Lady Genevieve. The tour guide for the Abbey told us the graves had been found in the Abbey cemetery during the rebuilding of the St. Mary’s Chapel. However, they have no proof that these are the actual graves. Joseph of Arimathaea also built the world’s first purpose-built Christian Church on the site of the oldest part of the Abbey. Glastonbury is the birthplace of Celtic Christianity. The Abbey has a rich and extensive history.  Today the Abbey is a place of meditation,but it looks more like a scene from the movie, Lord of the Rings.The photo to the left was taken by Pawel as we walked the grounds of the Abbey. He shot this photo using a special lens to create the black and white image.

Vesica Piscis

We had to walk through the city of Glastonbury to get to the Chalice Well, often stopping at the various stores to do a little shopping. Glastonbury reminded me of Sedona, Arizona with its many stores of crystals, books, psychic readings, and any and everything metaphysical. However, there is a distinct difference between the two. Even in the commercial district of Glastonbury you sense and feel a strong spiritual energy and a connection to it.  Arriving at the Chalice Well, we had to pay a small fee to enter the garden where the well is located. Even before we could get to the well, we discovered at the bottom of the garden a pool  shaped in the form of the Vesica Piscis. I later learned that this powerful geometric symbol is found throughout the garden. The Vesica Piscis symbolizes the birth portal; it is the birthing place where people and ideas join in mutual understanding and common ground.

On this cool summer day, I found myself drinking from the wellhead of the Chalice garden. The water is known for its healing properties. For a short time, we sat on the highest hill of the garden reflecting and reading. It was heaven on earth.

After a long day, we had one last place to visit, The Glastonbury Tor. Tor is a local Celtic word meaning conical hill. I should have been excited about the seeing the Tor because Archangel Michael is my spirit guide, but I wasn’t. Maybe I was sensing the dark side of the Tor. During the Dark Ages it was place of economic and cultural deprivation and later a place of executions. But it is also known as a holy hill, the home of the King of Fairies and at one time the home of the Medieval St. Michael’s Church. From our cottage we had an excellent view of the Tor, and I knew that I didn’t need to climb it. I had received the healing I needed. Catrina and Pawel had climbed the hill before and told me that it was a long and in some places a difficult climb, but they wanted to do it again. SeDona and I opted out and spent the evening having a fantastic dinner at a local restaurant.

Later that night I listened as Pawel and Catrina talked about their experience of climbing the Tor for a second time. I distinctly got the impression that the second climb was not as enjoyable as the first. They too, I believe had reached a high saturation of energy and now needed rest. The photo to the left is Pawel standing in front of the Tor.

At last we had come to end of this mystical journey, and as they say in Glastonbury, “May the Spirit of Avalon Be with you!”

Glastonbury-My Heart Will Go On

As John and I walked down the path to the car, I shared with him, in between my sobs, what had happened to me in the mound. He told me I had released the grief  I had been carrying around for a long time. While we rode to another crop circle, I couldn’t shake the deep depress state I was in. My vacation is ruined, I thought. To add to my misery, once we got to the crop circle, we discovered it was located at the top of a hill.

After fifteen or more minutes of a steady upward climb, John found an opening into the crop circle and led the way in; I followed still dealing with my emotional pain. What happened next, I don’t know how to describe it, but I will do my best, because it was truly a mystical and healing experience. Of all the sacred sites I have visited around the world, this experience will always rate as the most profound and life changing one for me. And it was all so quick and simple. I stepped into the crop circle and I felt as though I had stepped into another space and time. Everything looked the same, but I immediately felt different. The heavy, depressed grief and sadness feeling was gone. Everything was beautiful again. The pure joy was back, filling my mind, body and spirit with bliss. I was so overcome with joy, until I was disoriented and Catrina had to lead me to the center of the crop circle where we discovered bent and twisted grains forming perfect geometric shapes.

There we stayed and meditated, and I thought about the events that had transpired so far. I know it was by Divine Order that I found the card to hire a driver and not any driver but John Flanagan, who knew to take our group to the West Kennet Long Barrow Mound, for it wasn’t on our list of things to do. No one knows who the Circlemakers are. Some say it’s ET’s, others believe that they are manmade and yet others believe they are made by the Divine Mind of God. I don’t know either. I lean towards the Divine Mind. But I do know that my life changed and my energies shifted to a higher frequency in the crop circle. Glastonbury is the Heart charka of the Earth so it makes sense to me that my heart was healed there. In the photo to the left, I'm sitting in the center of a large circle surrounded by 6 small geometric designs. 6 is the vibration of love and nurturing.  Drunvalo Melchizedek, teacher and author of Flower of Life, calls such love energy living from the heart. I also think of it as my heart will go on.

The Power of Sacred Sites--Releasing and Receiving energy

As we rode along the lovely English countryside, we listened as John Flanagan, our tour guide for the Glastonbury trip, explained what he had planned for the day. He was very concerned about getting us to the crop circles, because it was late in the season and the farmers had started  harvesting the crops. After about an hour’s ride or more, we arrived in Wiltshire, a beautiful rural area of the region, where many of the crop circles are found.


I knew from my studies, there have been at least 711 documented crop circles in this area. They appear in the southern part of the UK where two major earth energy lines converge and cross through the stone circle at Avebury, Glastonbury and Stonehenge. In fact these three sacred sites form an equilateral right triangle. Additionally, the area has a high water content making it a perfect transmitter for electromagnetic energy.

John told us that crop circles had been around since the early 1600s, but gained popularity as they began to appeared quite frequently around 30 years ago. The circular designs were simple, but now they had evolved into more intricate and captivating patterns. As he was talking my heart was bursting with joy. Soon every word that came out of my mouth was full with love for everything. I would blurt out, “Look at that tree. Isn’t it beautiful? The flowers are fantastic. I love that horse.” I couldn’t stop. It was if I was seeing the trees, flowers and animals for the first time in my life.

We would have never found the crop circles, if left on our own. The first one we visited was quite a distance from the road. After a ten to fifteen minute walk up a steep path, we came to the formation. Walking through it is much different from looking at it from an aerial view. I was apprehensive as well as excited. Having heard that many unusual occurrences have happened to people in the circles: the lost of time, watches stopping, cameras not working, healings, lights flashing and etc. Well, none of those things happened to my group, I thought at the time. We spent some time sitting in the circles and meditating. If I thought I was happy before entering the circle, I was giddy after experiencing the energy of the circle.

The next stop was a place I had never heard of, but John told us it was important that we visit the West Kennet Long Barrow, a Neolithic burial chamber. There are several of these burial mounds in the Avebury area. The West Kennet was constructed around 3600 BC before Stonehenge and was in use for clan burials until 2500 BC. John explained that it was a place of release of emotional trauma and he had seen some pretty amazing things happen to people who he had bought to the chamber. Then he would take us to the next crop circle where we would receive something. I was still vibrating in pure joy and wanted to go directly to the crop circle, forget the chamber. He mentioned there were several cavities in the chamber and we should go to the back one. Oh, here we go. I have to trample through some dark cave. This wasn’t on my agenda. I thought.

John went ahead of us to light a candle. The first to go in, I went straight to the  chamber where the light of the candle greeted me. Standing there, I felt the happiness began to ooze out of my consciousness. I dreaded going further into the chamber. But after a short prayer, I returned to the front of the chamber looking for the entrance to the rest of the mound. Both sides of the entrances were blocked. I returned to the back chamber and realized this was the place John wanted us to be. Catrina and Pawel were standing in front of the candle in a silent meditation. Eventually, I felt the presence of my granddaughter in back of me. Thoughts of a past life time with Catrina and Pawel floated through my consciousness. I was a witness to their marriage. Then, I was chasing someone through the blocked chambers. It was my deceased son. He was running away from me. Finally, he stopped and a flash of white light illuminated him. He said, “I’m happy.” And just as quickly as the light had come he was gone. And I knew not to follow him. Another flash of white light and I saw other departed family members who voiced the same message.

Tears ran down my face.. Leaving the chamber my heart was heavy with grief. The giddy joyous feeling was gone. I sat on the outside of the mound thinking. Why did John bring us to this place? It only trigger my grief. At the time I didn't understand, but later all was revealed to me. I owe John and his spirit guides a depth of gratitude for their guidance.

Mystical Experiences in Glastonbury

I'm back in the US and I'm exhausted, but feeling exhilarated. You'll find out why as I shared my story with you. Originally, I had plan to blog about my spiritual journey into the mystical world of crop circles and other energy power points in Glastonbury and London, but as you know that didn't happen. Except for one or two emails to my family, I returned to paper and pen. Here are my reflections of an incredible journey that helped me to get in touch with my energetic body and vibrate with an energy that I knew existed but had never experienced at this profound level.


The Beginning:

Once arriving at the Heathrow airport in the UK two weeks ago, my granddaughter SeDona and I met my friends, Catrina and Pawel from the Netherlands, at the Paddington train station. We still had to catch 2 more trains and a lift (taxi) to arrive at our destination --the Honeysuckle Farm Cottages in Glastonbury.

As we approached Glastonbury from Castle Carey train station by lift (taxi), I began to sense this change in the energy frequency of the area. I felt as thought I had gone through a portal or gateway to another dimension. Words can’t accurately describe this frequency of energy, except to say everything was beautiful and I felt this deep love for everything and everyone.

At Honeysuckle farm we were greeted by the owner and two large cats that looked as if they had just returned from war. Having been scratched and attacked by cats as a child, I tend to avoid them. Of course, they ran up to me, circling my legs and began to meow, showing sharp teeth. My usual response of chills running through my body and wanting to get as far away as possible from them didn’t happen. I found myself petting the cats. What happened to the fear? I asked myself later.

Originally, my small group and I had planned to visit the crop circles and other sacred sites by car the following morning. We had rented a car in advance and just had to pick it up the next morning. Catrina with much trepidation was designated as our driver. She hadn’t been behind a wheel of a car in over two years and wasn’t used to driving on the left side of the road. Neither Pawel nor I had any experience with the steering wheel on the passenger side of the car or left road driving. Nevertheless, we were determined to go forth with our plans. However, the ENERGY FORCE of this special place had a different plan for us.

On the table in the vestibule of the cottage were several cards and jumped out at me—written in bold letters were the words ‘rent a driver.’ I knew it was late in the day to even think of making any changes, but I shared my thoughts with Catrina and Pawel. They were concerned about rental car cancellation fees and hiring a tour driver for the following day? After Catrina made several calls, we were able to cancel the rental car without accruing any debts and we were placed on the schedule of the Divine Light Tours for the following morning.

The next day turned out to be more than delightful; it was divine. Our guide, John Flanagan, a teacher and healer, showed us places and shared mystical information about them that left on our own we would have never experienced. And at the end of the day, I was still in love with the cats.

Awakening Consciousness

The next several blogs will be in the form of journal entries. In ten days or less, my granddaughter, SeDona and I will be joining two of my dearest friends for a pilgrimage to the Isle of Avalon or Glastonbury, England. Glastonbury is similar to Sedona Arizona as a New Age place, but it is also very sacred. Historically, it was where the first Christian Church was built by Joseph of Arimatheaea, the uncle of Jesus. It is said that Jesus also visited there and studied with the Druids. Additionally, it was a sacred centre from the Megalithic period 4-5000years ago. In future blogs, I will describe many of these major attractions that impact on my spiritual journey.

It is ironical that Glastonbury with its ancient and sacred sites is only two and half hours by car from London, the seat of western power structures. According to Barbara Hand Clow in Alchemy of Nine Dimensions: Decoding the Vertical Axis, Crop Circles, and the Mayan Calendar, (http://www.handclow2012.com/), “people in power adopted the pyramid, a system that was invented by European aristocrats and has been described well by British researcher David Icke.” (http://www.davidicke.com/ )You know how pyramids work. Those at the top get rich and those at the bottom stay poor, but do all the work. Humanity has been locked into this material consciousness for thousands of year.

Now a proliferation of crop circles are appearing in the southwest area of England, that may be contributing to the awakening of people at a rapid pace as information comes forth from these geometric forms.

I recently read in Clow’s book and Colin Andrew’s The Complete Idiot’s Guide to 2012: an Ancient Look at a Critical Time that the Circlemakers will call you. (http://www.colinandrews.net/) The geometric shapes on the hood of my red car several times over the years are my calling card. I hope you want to know who the Circlemakers are like the rest of the world. But for now know that they exist and this is not a hoax, although those in power tried to implant thoughts of doubt in our consciousness.

It was no coincidence that a week ago on Yahoo a video appeared claiming that the crop circles were a hoax and manmade. This was an attempt by the dark forces through the media to keep us locked into fear and falsehood and away from the truth. The old energetic structure of power, control and sex is deteriorating, causing the upheaval we are now experiencing. The level of reality that you know every day in the solid or physical world is changing due to the frequencies speeding up as we get closer to 2012. The crop circles are a part of ushering in this new higher energy frequency of truth, love and order in the universe.

I’m extending an invitation to you to experience this journey into higher dimensions with me through this virtual blog tour to the world of crop circles and other sacred sites. Please share this information with others; we need to awaken as many souls as possible.
