Mornings with Mary - Mary of Avalon

In the arms of
Mary, Our Lady of Avalon,

mystical isle of sacred apples.

A few years back I followed the Michael and Mary leylines

through the countryside of England.

My journey started with a pilgrimage to Monte Sant'Angelo in Italy to the grotto

of Archangel Michael which led me to Glastonbury, also known as the Isle of Avalon in myth and lore.

Mystery works in many strange ways.

I read the book The Sun and the Serpent by Paul Broadhurst and Hamish Miller and was so inspired

that I decided to do the Michael and Mary pilgrimage. They dowsed the energy lines across

the entire England, discovering the 'solar' Archangel Michael line

which interweaves with the 'lunar' Mary line.  The Mary line flows

through all the sacred wells and through many many churches

including the great St Mary's Churches and Cathedrals.  It was obvious

that the ancients understood the flow of energy and built their

sacred wells and altars on this ley line.

Here is a map of the St Michael alignment

On each of these major crossing points stand a church today and these were all

ancient places of worship before that.

The pilgrimage starts at St Michaels Mount, at the seaside

This picture of the beautiful statue of Mary I took in the church at Penzance - needless

to say the Mary line runs right through this church.

The Michael and Mary leylines run from St Michaels Mount, through

Cornwell, Avebury, Glastonbury and the east coast.

This is the famous St Michaels tower on the Tor in Glastonbury.  The leylines circumambulate

this entire man made mount.  This was built even before the time of the Abbey.

 Blossoming apple trees in the Glastonbury Abbey orchard.

And this is my pendant that I created for Mary of Avalon.

With a glistening red apple for the sacred orchards of Avalon,

a pomegranate as symbol of the eternal feminine,

a sword for the Archangel Michael and a chalice to drink deeply

from the sacred wells of Our Lady.
