Glastonbury Goddess Temple

Beltane: Celebrating Love

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.

A Journey into the Avalonian Mysteries

Step into the tides of transformation and embark on a sacred journey through the Avalonian Mysteries. The Sea Priestess journey is an immersive, soul-deepening course that weaves the wisdom of the sea, the stars, and the sacred land of Avalon into a path of personal and spiritual awakening.

Rooted in the work of Dion Fortune and the teachings of my book The Way of the Sea Priestess, this course rekindles the ancient lineage of those who walk between worlds—the keepers of oceanic and celestial wisdom. Through ritual, mythology, and direct experience, we explore the deep connection between water, star lore, and the divine feminine as embodied in the Sea Priestess tradition.
