The Glastonbury Goddess Temple

"We stumbled across the Goddess Temple while exploring Glastonbury. I was with my kids, my 7 year old daughter was intrigued... I thought 'perhaps this is just for women'. I asked my daughter would she be ok to go in without me... "No". So I asked can men come in "Yes absolutely, everyone is most welcome". So we took off our shoes and entered. It was a moment. Like time stopped. What a sacred, serene, peaceful yet so alive and vibrant place. My daughter sat with me feeling the power of this place. She was timid initially, not wanting to do anything wrong I guess. I encouraged her to go over and light a candle by herself and perhaps if she wanted to to make a prayer or a wish. She did. She returned to me and sat with me again, she was just swimming in the majesty of the place, we both were. We then went and sat inside with the big wicker women. I explained she could write a note or a prayer on the paper. She wrote: "Loving to people that need it". When I read it she said: "don't cry daddy". I think she can feel unsafe when I do so I didn't, I smiled instead. But I was so moved by her divining of what's needed and the utter simplicity of her prayer. "Loving to people that need it" I can't quite explain what happened for me, for us, in the Goddess Temple but it felt in the realm of healing or transcendence. TL:DR: Go! Highly Recommend."

"I've been coming here for years and always found it to be peaceful and a good place for me and my young daughter to calm whilst we are glastonbury. This year, we were not made to feel welcome at all. My 10 year old daughter has autism and had been coming here since really little. She lights a candle and meditates. She is calm, quiet and has insight as to what the temple if about. Sadly this year we both entered and was met with hostility. Not only from the staff member but another woman sitting inside...on her mobile phone. We were made to feel so uncomfortable we left. It is usually the highlight of our visit and my daughter talks about how it is her safe place. Well, it certainly isn't anymore"

"I really didn't expect much from what, from the outside, seemed to be a large room on a first floor. However, as soon as I stepped in, my heart skipped a beat and I couldn't help but shedding a tear. I was overcome by the energy that emanates from the multiple lovingly arranged shrines - it is welcoming, cozy, peaceful and brings a feeling of nurturing safety, like a warm embrace. The Sacred Femenine is alive and powerful here. Thank you 🙏"

"Really unique place of worship. A great place to sit and relax awhile. Very unique place. The small Portuguese priestess lady was so kind and helpful. She gave me a blessing ritual thing that was nice."

"The Glastonbury Goddess Temple has beautiful energies. We meditate here every time we visit. The Melissae within are divine. A place for worship, visions, guidance, cleansing, healing."
