The vibe reminds me of Asheville NC but with way more history. Would love to visit and possibly move here someday 😍☺
Amazing
The Glastonbury festival is no where near Glastonbury. It’s in the village of Pilton which is in the district of Shepton Mallet. So why did they change from Pilton to Glastonbury.
It's a sacred place with so much to look at, but there is a lot of Darkness there too, in various forms. Be planned and prepared when you go, especially since once you've been there 2- 3 days, the strong energies affect you so much, you lose track of time, and actually don't mind, as you cease to care any more. For you're in the Glaston Zone, influenced by the Glaston Zodiac, and even the Twilight Zone is a big second to the Glaston Zone.
Hello anyone else got this as homework??!
exactly bro hahahhaah
Next time you visit here dont forget to visit Wells (filming location for Hot Fuzz)
The Cathedral looks amazing!!!
@@nialloneill5097 definetly worth a visit bud. Also cheddar gorge
@@warrensmith4006 Thank you. Strange that, as someone I met where I am had worked there, then he moved back to Bristol, and sadly passed over now. We used to speak spiritual matters, but he never mentioned the Gorge. I'll see if I can take it in, next time I'm up that way. Thank you.
@@nialloneill5097 thats sad, sorry to hear that. Spiritual is in Christianity?
@@warrensmith4006 True Christianity, yes!
I would really want to visit this town , I would marry a gogo just to move there
Oh, and the Hawthorn tree, which flowers on the Winter solstice, and is said to have been taken there by Joseph of Arimathea, and planted upon Wearyall Hill, along with the plate used by Tudor Pole, which some thought initially may be the Holy Grail Chalice.
Did jesus visit the abbey at Glastonbury and walk the gardens and I haven't visited the abbey but always wanted to walk their
He probably did but he regretted it..
@@antyeardsley thanks for the information, why would he have regretted the visit? It's a beautiful place and cheers with a good pint of Real Ales
@@abaha9898 because it's full of people who don't really care for his visit n also the shit hole it is now just money making that's what what's it's about...
Joseph of arimathea or some crap like that aparently planted his walking cane on a hill that overlooked , not the tor ... this then turned in to the holy thorn (actually a asian hawtorn tree) grows in surrounding areas of glastonbury in the uk ....what is differnt from native hawtorn trees is that it blooms twice rather than once a year close to Christmas and easter
@@RussyMurkz This is true, I have seen the beautiful blooms, before the tragedy that struck upon Wearyall Hill, although I seem to recall there are a few others, including in Chalice Well. I do not hold true to the stories of Jesus and Joseph, although perhaps there was some kind of spiritual tidings received by mediums, but not physical visits, no way. However, I did experience the Crucifixion after tying a bow, or booty upon the Wearyall Tree, so perhaps there are some spiritual threads between the tree and the Crucifixion due to men's volitions and thoughts, which has created a path to that particular event in the past.
The tor n spring are great but the town is full of posh rich people that look down on every day people..it's a police state...
They been creaming the name Glastonbury for to long just to make fkn money...
It's very similar to Totnes, with a mix of local farmers, local rich, or middle class, bolstered by business men, and immigrants, usually from London. Add to that a lot of flaky esoteric and cultish peoples, hippy types, artistic dreamers, and drug/drink addicts, and it's quite a mix. Each to their own, I've met a few decent ones, usually amongst the Druids, who can be down to earth, sensible, yet open too, without going OTT. Then, some of the poorer locals can be friendly and humble too, but like you said, generally it's hard work, and not the Utopia that people imagine on their fleeting visits.
