    I lived in Glasto for a couple of years when I was a kid. What is now the 'White Well' was a cafe called the Well House which was run by my mum. I spent many hours there after school among the dampness. I went back last year and the familiar damp smell has been replaced by incense. Strange that my late mum's cafe is now a site of pilgrimage

    I well remember my first visit to the Tor. My mates and me had been touring Spain on out motorbikes. on the trip back me and another bloke decided to pull off the M5 and visit the Tor. It was a sunny late April morning when we climbed the Tor, at the top there was only 5 people there including us. After a walk around we went to sit on the north westerly slope with the tower behind us. We were just chilling looking out over the seven estuary to the the hills of South Wales. It was then that we could hear loud male voices chanting in Latin, then a young soloist was singing the high ranges parts. This went on for about 10 minutes until my friend went over to the tower and walked through the door opening. It all then stopped dead. There was no speakers in the tower and the other people up there didn't seem to be aware of the music. A magical place indeed!

    Avalon is an Anglicisation of the Welsh Ynys Afallach , Isle of Apples , a fruit connected to the Otherworld in British mythology . The whole Tor was surrounded by water at one time , lending it it's other name Ynys Wydryn , Isle of Glass , from the mirror like surface of the water . It is the legendary resting place of King Arthur , who legend says was brought there after being mortally wounded at Camlan.

      I believe we should revive the dead Brythonic Languages
      We can use Welsh to translate Cumbric due to them being the Closest of the Brythonic Languages
      Its really sad because we actually do not know much about our Pre-roman history even the Welsh due to Christianisation .
      We have poetry and stories from that time, but they come from Roman historians
      We know what other peoples like the Vikings and Romans thought of the Isles, but not what the people themselves thought
      We don't even know who King Arthur is meant to be if he was based on a real figure
      We know so little about our own Mythology and what we do know comes from mostly outside sources
      Brythonic mythology could be as big as Norse or Greek mythology

      The Angelcynn conquered you by fire and steel and crushed your mythical Arthur (who was probably Roman anyway, if he ever existed). Get over it. Woden is the stronger God and you now live in rocks and heathland. "Welsh" is Englisc for "foreign". Enough said!

    I’m very fond of Glastonbury and certainly agree that it has a very special atmosphere - so I’m not surprised so many people make a sort of pilgrimage to find whatever they’re looking for. It’s also gloriously eccentric and some aspects are downright hilarious. The White Well for example, is actually a former municipal waterworks! Also mildly annoying is the notion that all things spiritual, occult, folkloric or paranormal are somehow ‘Celtic’.

    I think what is funny is that most people link Celtic heritage to the UK only. But the Celts lived most of their years in Germany and Austria before they moved north. Before the Celtic traditions, there have been even older ones on the islands, which have been forgotten it seems.

    I’ve been catholic my whole life , I’ve always felt a sort of confusion and distance from God. I should preface this by saying I have a very Norse ethnicity, my ancestors came from all over France, Denmark and Ireland. Now I was going to a sports match and I though, what’s a great way to get pumped, why not listen to some music from my heritage. So I started playing some traditional Norse music and I closed my eyes and within a few minutes I say this campfire and I saw a group of around 10 men and women dancing around the fire to the music and I felt connected to these people. Then I noticed this one man, very large man blonde and stereotypical Viking man. He approached me and stared into my eyes and I felt this powerful feeling of warmth and security and power. Then he was walking me through this dark forest when I knew I needed to open my eyes again and leave he turned around, and looked at me and “said” return to us again soon. Now, I am still very skeptical, but it’s making me question my Catholicism, and the world around me. What an experience.

      The devil can appear as an angel of light and deceive you. Christ rose from the dead and defeated the devil, sin, and the pagan world. If you are questioning your Catholic faith maybe it because you have only experienced the modernist version of the faith, which is a mixture of truth and error. It has diluted the faith. The modernist Catholic Church has a new Mass religious liberty, and ecumenism as opposed to tolerance and faithfulness to the one true Church of Christ. Look at the traditional faith, as practiced by the SSPX. The Mass celebrated is ancient and in Latin. There you will discover the true faith. As for the witches and pagans of Glastonbury, they are, tragically, on their way to hell, unless they turn to God and His Christ for salvation. The tower that these hippy reprobates are banging drums in is the place where the last abbot of Glastonbury, Fr. Richard Whiting was hung drawn and quartered for his Catholic faith. It is disgusting! My advice pray to our blessed Mother, and say your rosary every day.

There is far more strength, peace and grace in just one of our Sacraments than all the pagan and cultural practices rolled up together. Those practices will take you from Him and leave you empty eventually. I pray you will stay on the path to life.

    • @Darthos3
      @Darthos3 Год назад +7

      Not necessarily. I was brought up christian but joining the Army gave me the chance to find my own way, and I was drawn to paganism instantly. I explored several traditions and paths, had encounters with several Gods and Goddesses, and yet something always felt... shortsighted about it all. My current understanding is that what people refer to as Gods or Spirits are aspects of Nature that reveal their consciousness only to other consciousness and not as much through physical means like speaking, likely because of existing at a higher consciousness than humans. Those who do so, find that the consciousness of Nature expresses itself in a way that the consciousness of a person can understand and interact with, which is why several cultures all have Goddesses of Beauty, Gods of the Sun, etc. However, I also have experience of a One Creator, in which all things are thoughts in the Mind of the Infinite. So I tend to see Gods and Spirits less as "divine overlords that grant boons in exchange for offerings" and more like people that I can interact with and learn from, all while exploring the Great Mystery together and expanding consciousness in order to perceive more of that Mystery. So long story short, you do not need to bow to Gods to be Pagan. You do not need to believe beyond your perceptions. Expand your perceptions and there is no need for belief.

When we finally realize that we have been tricked into fighting each other with religion, we will then become observant of the singular truth instead of religious contempt for one another. The truth is that Odin and all his wisdom is actually the starting point for all religions. The central teachings of Odin are within all spiritual based scriptures from the beginning to the end. We all share the tree of life.

      Maybe in certain religions that have their own doctrine that they hold up as higher than the bible teachings they are supposed to be based around. But not so for the Christian holy Bible itself it is the antithesis of pagan religions. Including Oden.

    I met a wizard from the 5th century at the top of the Tor one night, dressed in a cape and pointed hat and high velvet boots he was carrying a lamp lit with scented oil blessed by a monk which as he told me purified all it touched, when he left he got in a £50K SUV and drove off to his 4bed detached home in Wellow via Tesco to pick up a few bottles of Château Cheval Blanc, its funny world at times,

    Overall, nice of you to show us this beautiful place. However, it would be so much better if you spent more time on researching the history, or perhaps found a local professor to interview. Your friend seems sweet, and her crafted items on Etsy are beautiful, but seriously expensive! I would think people who would like to have their own wands might like to make their own, because it will be imbued with their own energy and relatively low cost to create. Just my opinion. Take care! ☮

    Hate to be 'that person' but she said two words in this that i absolutely hate in regards to history, 'We know'. We really dont, unless 'we know' the doctor and can take a ride in his Tardis the best we can achieve is a best guess. Saying 'its believed' as she does later is much better. Other than that really enjoyed the video, A visit to Glastonbury is on my bucket list, I identify as Pagan but im honestly a beginner, still learning. I'll be showing my Mum the video, she's not Pagan but she will love that Northern Soul Keep the Faith sign on that shelf....

      I hate to do this but Glastonbury in Somerset is nothing to do with King Arthur, even less Joseph of Aramathea.
      There were two King Arthurs. One was the son of Magnus Maximus, a Roman who tried to usurp Constantine. The later King Arthur was the son of Tewdrig, a Welsh King, and great-grandson of Maximus.
      There is strong evidence Glastonbury in Somserset is confused with 'Glastenen' - a settlement near Lichfield in The Midlands.

      Believe me you're not missing much. I live in that part of the country. Architecturally and historically the whole area is wonderful, but Glastonbury has been taken over by this false mysticism/crystal and wannabe druids. It's so false and embarrassing. The Tor itself is well worth a visit though - providing there's no false Pagan ceremonies going on!

    Connecting King Arthur’s name to a site means more visitors and, therefore, more income. So there are a lot of places in the UK that claim to have a connection to King Arthur. This dates back hundreds of years.
