Glastonbury 's Many Faces
In the latter part of the twentieth century, Britain experienced something of a boom in pilgrimage and spiritual tourism which in many ways is exemplified by Glastonbury. Glastonbury, on the surface, is a small town in rural Somerset in the south west of England. However, depending on whom you talk to, or what you read, it is also considered to be: the Isle of Avalon; the site of a great Druidic centre of learning; a significant prehistoric centre of Goddess worship; the "cradle of English Christianity" visited by Joseph of Arimathea and perhaps even Christ himself; the "New Jerusalem"; a communication point for alien contact; the epicentre of New Age in England; and the "heart chakra" of planet earth.
