Yesterday, on 8-8, a meeting of spiritual folk was held at the Tor in Glastonbury, England. What is the Tor of Glastonbury? The origin of the name “Glastonbury” is unclear, but when the settlement was first recorded in the late 7th and early 8th centuries it was called Glestingaburg. Of the latter name, Glestinga is obscure, and may derive from an Old English word or Celtic personal name. The second half of the name, -burg, is Anglo-Saxon in origin and could refer to either a fortified place such as a burh or, more likely, a monastic enclosure. It may derive from a person or kindred group named Glast. Tor is an English word referring to a high rock or a hill, deriving from the Old English torr.
The Tor and other sites in Glastonbury have also been significant in Goddess worship, with the flow from the Chalice Well representing menstrual flow and the Tor being seen as either a breast or the whole figure of the Goddess. This has been celebrated with an effigy of the Goddess leading an annual procession up the Tor.
So… it seems the Tor in Glastonbury has linkages to spiritual practices from ancient times, particularly those of feminine nature which is thought to be important during our current spiritual journey in the NOW. Meline Lafont has written, “Whenever information is given to us from on High, what we receive, perceive and conceive is information that is tapped into the Now. THe Now is limitless and timeless, it is a space of creation in the space and time continuum, in the ever lasting now: the being, the Zero point where ALL IS and Nothing is at the same time. Omnil ~ Om = All-ness + Nil (0) = nothingness.
An event, creation and manifestation cannot be translated into a date or time as all is birthed in the Now and emerges into our reality through the own heart space and when this will be, is resulted from the state of Self consciousness, awareness, level of consciousness and the own heart portal on your inner planes. Everyone’s path is unique and therefore not to be measured nor to be predicted in time. All is in the Now in the heart and created through the heart.”
Please take the time to listen to a meditation delivered at the Tor in Glatonbury on 8-8, the Opening of the Lion’s Gate…a particularly potent portal for energy flows to the Earth from beyond! You can listen to a live recording here, dwell on this, and…
Enjoy!
