The Living Goddess of Glastonbury

The Living Goddess of Glastonbury

Autumn Equinox

The weather is turning and the leaves on the trees are changing colour, as so did the Temple last weekend.

Melissa Kat , Priestess Bridge ,the beautiful Artist Caroline Probyn and myself helped dress and prepare the Temple for the coming Autumn Equinox.

Everything was cleaned and dressed the rich chocolate brown and bright orange..the colours of the season. Just as the fields have had their last cut of Harvest..and return to the furrowed earth..so the Temple once again reflects the season change in her colours.

We also have a beautiful Goddess Wheel donated to the Temple by the amazing artist Wendy Andrew. It is a moving wheel of the Goddess and her seasons. Small card versions can be bought in the Temple.

The Autumn Equinox is a time when our Ancesters would prepare for the winter months..a time of equal day and night and balancing what we have received through out the year and prepare to release what no longer serves us. The days will now be shorter and the sun disappears ..only to return at the Winter Solstice.

It is a time to prepare for hibernation....we wish! and giving thanks to Gaia for that last cut of Harvest to feed us through the winter months ahead.

Come join us for the Autumn Equinox Celebration on Friday 22nd September at 7.30pm ..this time to be held at the ASSEMBLY ROOMS in Glastonbury. We have outgrown the space of the Temple...all the more reason for a new one.

Please come and join us..with music,song and dance.

Donations are welcome

Blessed be and Happy Autumn Equinox

Priestess Georgina

Blessed be...

...our Mother. Blessed be myself. Ah Mother, I thank you for this planet divine.

Blessed be my body. Blessed be my voice, my family, my home. Blessed be my service, my journey, my tribe, my sisters. Blessed be the brothers of my community. Blessed be our Mother.

On the second day of the Conference, Aniqua from Australia led the singing, her sweet, powerful voice ringing out and picking up all the other voices in the hall. Composed and centred, she drew everyone in.

As in the evening, when in the stillness of Chalice Well Gardens in Glastonbury the beauty of the Mother's creation was there to see in its generous abundance and perfection, in the flowers and trees and the winding walkways and rippling waters. Even the bees in Chalice Well are tranquil, not agitated by traffic or other noise. It's a peaceful place.

As the sun went down, people gathered at the Lammas bonfire in Bushey Combe. The night air cooled them and the fire was welcome.

Blessed be my journey.

Blessed be.

Conference takes off!

It was unbelievable.

The huge town hall, filled with soft light and colour. The floor to ceiling paintings of the Goddess, flowers, candles, fruit, bright banners: the Madonna, the Neolithic Goddess, more.

And people, people. By the hundred, from a dozen countries or more: Iceland to Ireland, Australia to Austria. You lose count of how many there are. So many, there's hardly room to fit them all in here, standing or sitting. Women, dressed in gold, or not; men smiling, relaxed with themselves. Don't forget the gold nail varnish! We're celebrating Lammas and the Great Mother of the golden harvest.

The Lord Mayor of Glastonbury dressed in his gold chain of office welcomes the delegates. Then Priestess Kathy speaks. 'This isn't about hierarchies,' she says. 'It's about everyone's relationship with the Goddess. Welcome to this journey.'

For many, it's been a very long road already, to end up under this ancient English sky together to manifest Her. But this is just the start.

It was an honour to be there.

Goddess Conference: it starts tomorrow...

...with music, ceremonial, workshops, socialising, celebration, challenge, walking the land and more!

It will be a time and a space for the Mother Goddess in the light-filled isle. If you can't be with us, take a look - and send us your thoughts.

Love to everyone, Christina
