The free course in natural magic that many of you have asked me to run will start on Saturday 19th September at 10am . Meet at the Blue Note cafe, High Street, Glastonbury (opposite the Speaking Tree bookshop). Don't be late, as we will leave soon after meeting. The first part will be experiencing the element of Earth. This will involve walking a bit, probably up the Tor, and dowsing, and will include connecting with the Earth, a short meditation, a discussion and the identification of herbs and trees

Mechelle has a great deal of history and family involvement with witchcraft and speaks regularly on many associated subjects as well as running an excellent Pagan herbs/oils/incense. See www.avalonesoterics.co.uk

We shall follow the Michael and Mary earth energy flows associated with the St Michael Line as they flow through Glastonbury, in this fully interactive day, as well as the Wessex Astrum alignments as they converge on the area. Morning: First, we shall walk the sacred labyrinth at St John's Church, before going into the church to view Joseph of Arimathea's window and tomb. We shall also dowse to Michael current that goes through the church.. Then into the Abbey grounds and magnificent ruins, to dowse and sense the energies of the Mary and Michael currents which pass through the Abbey. King Arthur's Grave is also reputably there. We shall gather around the Holy Thorn in the grounds and then we shall see the little-known Omphalos Stone, to do a meditation/circle. We end with a healing meditation around a huge beech tree that stands on one of the energy flows. Lunch: Time for funky shops and food! Afternoon: We will then go over to a little known Mary Magdalene chapel, which is really powerful and holy, a quiet, sacred place of meditation and prayer, where we will do a silent meditation. Then we shall walk to the Chalice Well Gardens - incredibly beautiful and sacred gardens, with its holy water flowing, vesica pisces, Excalibur art, votive thorn trees, and views of the Tor. Then we will go up the Tor. There are glorious views from the tower, and we shall dowse the Mary and Michael energies as they weave around the hill. We shall end with a healing circle and drumming looking across the sacred landscape of Avalon, looking out along the various ley lines that converge on the Tor from around the world. Cost: only £12 per person. Only 15 places (first come first served). Please note: there are small admission charges into Chalice Well and the Abbey, which are not included in the above cost. Please bring extra money to cover these. We will need to provide our own transport to Glastonbury and back we can organise car sharing as much as possible once the group has been arranged
