Glastonbury, the Isle of Avalon and its famous Tor, tucked away
amid the gently rolling hills of Somerset in England’s west country,
attracts pilgrims from all over the world.
To many, it is a holy shrine. Some call it the “New Jerusalem.”
Others see it as a mystical and psychic vortex. Numerous books have
claimed it is the last resting place of the saints. For many years,
Glastonbury’s status was an embarrassment to the Church of England.
It is a giant mosaic of numerous legends--several extremely
controversial.
For instance, Joseph of Arimathea, who took Christ’s body down
from the Cross, is said to have fled with some of the disciples to
Marseilles, crossed France (Gaul) to England, and taken refuge at
Glastonbury. In 38 AD he established the first above ground Christian
Church, and his evangelical center dispatched missionaries to various
parts of Europe. Legend or fact? Cardinal Baronious, a prominent
Vatican historian, wrote about Joseph and his party landing at
Marseilles.
At its peak, Glastonbury had 2,000 people, 500 of them monks.
In 1539 King Henry VIII ordered Glastonbury totally destroyed under
the general Dissolution of the abbeys. Its great stones were hauled
away to be used for buildings, walls and roads.
Early this century, the Church of England purchased the site,
and retained a medieval architect, Frederick Bligh Bond to excavate
and perhaps restore Glastonbury. Bond consulted a psychic specializing
in automatic writing. A host of monks in spirit -- “Watchers from the
Other Side,” -- came through with spectacular details of the old
Abbey. Bond, directed by this information, went out and uncovered
lost ruins. He published his findings. The Church fired him. It is
only in the last few years that Bond’s work has been publicly
acknowledged.
Glastonbury is known for its ancient leylines, invisible
powerlines stretching across England. It’s also known for its Zodiac,
a peculiar land formation spanning 12 miles. It can only be seen and
appreciated from thousands of feet up. Question: Why does it exist?
Was it a space signal?
Glastonbury is also the last resting place of King Arthur.
His remains were found there in 1191, and reburied with ceremony
under the eye of an English monarch. Arthurian legends abound at
Glastonbury, and many books have been written on Arthur. In 1662
Joseph of Arimathea’s tomb was found and promptly hidden again for
fear of Puritanical reactions.
In recent years, the descriptions and measurements provided by
the monks in spirit to Bligh Bond have been subjected to mathematical
scrutiny. The dimensions of Joseph’s original church and chapels--all
circular--contain cosmic power.
For instance, the diameter of a circle positioned within a square
of Joseph’s compound is 79.20 feet. Change feet to miles -- 7920 --
and you have the diameter of the Earth. There are many cosmic numbers
associated with Glastonbury, such as all measurements whether in Celt,
Roman, Jewish and English, all reduce to nine, a most powerful number
in numerology.
I have spent many days and times trekking in and around Glastonbury.
I hiked the Great Dragon Leyline at St. Michael’s Mount, and saw the
haunting remains of the old Cornish mines where Joseph of Arimathea’s
ships were loaded with tin supplies for the Roman army. As an award
winning news photographer, I photographed “The Legends” lecture over
a period of years. I enjoy sharing the color and the spectacle and
the legends with those who wish to hear and see. I do not claim that
all the legends are true, I simply share them, but it does warm the
spiritual heart to think that they might be.
Note: If any club, organization or group in
central/southern New Jersey or Delaware would like to stage "The Incredible Legends
of Glastonbury," please call Robert at the number on our Main Index Page. Presentation is
