Glastonbury Goddess Temple

Honouring Bridie, Maiden Goddess of Imbolc

The Gateway to Goddess in Avalon

“THE GODDESS is alive in Glastonbury, visible for all to see in the shapes of the sacred landscape. She is soft as the rounded hills of Her body and sweet as the apple blossom that grows in Her orchards. Here Her love enfolds us every day and Her voice is always near, carried on the wind, whispering through the mists of Avalon. Her Mysteries are as deep as the Cauldron She stirs, taking us down into Her depths and lifting us up to Her heights. She is our Source, our Inspiration and our Love.”

– Kathy Jones

Our Temple is devoted to bringing Goddess alive in the world.
As a modern day Goddess-loving organisation and community based in Glastonbury, Somerset, we are dedicated to the development of a spirituality tradition rooted in the empowerment of women and men. We have been a registered place of worship since 2003.

For the Love of Words

with Writer and Priestess Kathy Jones

10th – 11th May 2025

Do you love words? Do you love writing, prose and poetry? Words are the way that we communicate ideas and information with each other. I love writing. It makes me happy. It is my craft, a skill I have honed over many years. I have written maybe 18 books, not sure how many, and have self-published because my books are not those generally accepted by publishers. I usually write on the margins between fact and fiction, you could call it faction.
