Glastonbury is one of Britain's most important sites of pilgrimage. For millennia people have been drawn to it on a search for the mythical Isle of Avalon. A key part to its mystery is water. It was once an island and water rises and falls from its heart in profusion. Full of mystery and symbolism, two springs rise within feet of each other at the base of the Tor - the holy hill of Avalon. One, tasting sweet with calcium, leaves a white trail. The other, tasting metallic with iron leaves its mark in red. Both have healing in their flow.

So we sought to create a Temple here, in honour of the Spirit of the White Spring, and for the people who live in and journey to this place. We are blessed with a building ideal for this purpose, the Well house. Victorian built as a reservoir to provide the greatest gift of clean water during a cholera outbreak, it nestles under the base of the Tor. The White Spring water flows through it, as does the Ley Line known as the Michael line. Cavernous and set apart, in blackness or candle lit, mysterious it remains. A stark contrast to the wonderful gardens of Chalice Well of the Red Spring.

In true Temple tradition no-one is charged or paid. Keepers and custodians, artists and craftspeople, give their time and work freely yet find their lives blessed. Spirits of the place have made themselves known and drawn in their human helpers. Tourists, Pilgrims, and Locals alike enter free of charge.

We currently have limited but regular opening hours. The Sabbats (the festivals of the turning year) and other rituals are celebrated. Prayers are offered here. Individuals and groups from all Spiritual paths and traditions who come in peace are welcomed.

We hope you will visit the White Spring. We are encouraged by the progress so far. The building has had the walls, floors, water pipes and chemical paint (all installed in the 1980s) removed. The high ceilings, bowed floors, and beautiful stone walls have been uncovered; revealing the magnificent Cathedral-like structure of the place. The water now falls 15 feet from ceiling to floor and flows freely and beautifully inside and out. The drinking water is now much purer and energised.

We are now inspired to push on to the next phase. The building of a series of pools, designed to enhance the natural flow, will take place over the next season. The designs have been created according to the principles of sacred geometry, and by those who have the knowledge and love of the waters and the land of Avalon. Thought has been given to the opportunity for visitors and pilgrims to gaze into the water, to step into the pools, or for the brave, full submergence.

Naturally the consecrations remain the same and the shrines which have come to be appreciated over the last few years will be recreated. The Temple is home to a Brigid shrine. She is Celtic Fire Goddess and guardian of sacred springs. She is both Druid and Christian Saint. We hold two icons of her along with the Brigid flame, the flame of divine love. These will be restored and returned into a wonderful hazel bower. The candle flame has burned since Imbolc 2005 and was a re-kindling of the flame which burned for a thousand years. It heralds the birth of a renewed Brigidine Abbey.

The Shrine of our lady of Avalon will again be found within a healing pool. Glastonbury has been home to such a shrine, it is said, since time before history began. Michael, forever associated with GlastonburyTor is also honoured here. The Temple is also home to the King of the world of Faerie. Legend has it that the entrance to the otherworld is located here; through which Gwyn Ap Nudd rides. Who knows? You may just spy him. With more certainty, you will find a place with an unusual atmosphere.

The building of the physical Temple naturally combines with the building of the social and spiritual community which spreads out into the town and across the land so that joy and peace may endure.

We need volunteers who are able to give time regularly so we can open the doors more often. Also, to help fulfil the building's potential, we need trades-people, crafts-people, artists, priests, and healers who have the time and energy for this worthy cause. We ask for donations and resources of many kinds and we invite you to get involved.
