Glastonbury Tor

We woke up late after a long drive to Bristol. Our plane was delayed no less than three times. I was falling asleep in the airport waiting for our plane arrive from London to take us back to London!

It's official: we are crazy. We decided to rent a car and drive. In England. On the left hand side of the road. However, we have conquered Italy by driving motorcycles in the past, so this was obviously just a gateway drug for more excitement.

However, Jason is doing awesome. I am helping navigate the left lane, the too close to the curb, make sure we are on the right (er left) end of things part and then we have enlisted the the help of a GPS to give us directions.

So, we drove this morning to Glastonbury. This was amazing. The energy of the place was good. We visited a shrine and the abbey and a Bridget shrine. Sigh

God I love this stuff...

I feel like I want to create a shrine in the back this fall to the Horned God.
I'm just sayin...

From Bardic Offerings...

She Calls to my Spirit

This is more an inner vision than to a particular deity



She calls to my spirit from the shadows
From the blackness within I hear her
Face cragged like the high mountain peaks
Shrouded in the grey of winter morn
Veiled by the deep passage of time
Her fearsome gaze penetrates duality to its core

With one hooded eye she sees the oneness
The ultimate unity of the web
Winter storms rage, life recedes
Like an old woman gathering kindling
She stoops to gather her treasure
Priceless gems, the seeds of life

Onward she journeys, staff in hand
Tap, tap, tap
And each footstep brings death
Night storms destruction and decay
Still she travels, still she gathers
Then lingers to view her bounty

And in that briefest of moments
Her countenance is changed
Illumined by dazzling pure energy
Essence of life dancing in her palm
I see radiant features of beauty
A pledge of life to be


Phil

I like the lyrics

In trying to find out the meaning of Akhera Goiti Akhera Beiti I found this song. It's by a metal band. If anyone knows the meaning of the term, can you please pass it along...

In the meantime...


AKHERA GOITI


Between the sunset's bloodstained veil,
Thy horned prospect reflects on me.

The he-goat above - The she-goat below
Cried through beads of mirrored tears
It fills the air ! - It fills the air !
An atmosphere that hath no key.

I'm disguised by the kindle of nite and I can fill your liquid, glass heart
Grasp your cold-shaded breath and whisper the sign of the hidded stone
I'm in the circle and I am the shell that granted you the horns of All-Begetter
A fixed, startless vision and a sullen fabrication cursed the Sun
of which our lustful ways are performed.

Half of me is all of her
Hath no shower; hath no sol
Half of me is all of her
Hath no shower; hath no sol
Half of me is all of her
Hath no shower; hath no sol

Akhera-goiti
Akhera-beiti
Fantasies I realized
Dance of thorns, I thrive
For below the great abyss is a virtue contained in itself.

"We shall eagerly expect one black opalith for tomorrow."
