Interesting encounters in Glastonbury

By Alessandro Carosi

I heard about Glastonbury a lot and the Spiritual community that lives there but nothing would prepare me for what I would discover once visiting it.

The entire town is filled up of Spirituals, Hippies and people that seeing life differently then the mainstream way we are taught by the system, it was recharging and refreshing witnessing a different way to live immerse into nature and peacefulness and I felt strongly that I wanted too, I wanted to leave London and spent the rest of my life in that world that to me is more real of the bullshit banking system in the city of London but then an other thought took place and is that someone has to show to others that a different way to live is possible, different than working certain jobs, different than buying certain things, different than had to dress, talk and behave in a certain way, I’m one of those that has to show this to those people that haven’t seen anything else than darkness and lies.

Glastonbury high street hit differently than others main shopping hubs doesn’t have fashion clothes shops, luxury items for sale, fancy soaps businesses or smartphones and gadgets sellers but instead is full of fortune tellers, Chakras healers, places for meditations or rituals, healing stones businesses or natural remedies for spiritual and physical diseases, hand and tarot readers and bookshops about Spirituality, philosophy and religions.

This is my world and those are my people I wished I had a chance to spend few years living there and who knows maybe in the future, the energies were different you could feel there was a special vibration and would get you energising you, I felt better and happier, I had much more strength then normal and could walk for hours, I felt soo good and optimistic and I knew was for the collective vibrations of the community and maybe the heart chakra that is believed to be in Somerset and in Glastonbury in particular amplified it, I wanted to smile and making friends and as soon I found a nice spot I done some meditation and could feel my body calmer then when I’m in London, everything was perfect, weather, the energies and the landscape.

The second day I decided to walk from the festival to Glastonbury Tor

and after few hours and a challenging climbing to the top I was rewarded with the most beautiful view of the valley

and again not surprised about all the legends told about this area, the Tor is a tower that is what is left of a church coming all trough from the medieval times and maybe an age where people believed in magic more than they believed in the so called real life, we would not know at the moment, after spending some time enjoying the view I walked back down to the town again and at first I stopped at Chalice well a natural spring believed to have healing effects on the body and there the crowd was just as expected and if I stayed longer we would become all friends smoking and talking about after life and wizards but opted to head to the town so to have more time around and here after 20 minutes walking on the high street I meet a lady giving tarot cards in exchange of a donation, I gave her £10 and took a card …… the meaning is that a lady is in my life, there are few in my life which one is the important one? So instead to wait for the explanation I tell her about this Korean girl that since I met her in New Zealand won’t leave my energy field and as I said many times maybe I don’t want her to leave and that is why everytime I cut those cords of attachments she reach me feeling this disconnection instead to make a clear decision to leave I recreate the connection, I don’t know what is going on but after 30 minutes she tells me to leave cause she need to make a leaving out of those tarots and need customers, fair enough.

I won’t know the meaning of the card but I think that “a lady in my life” was more than enough, time to get the bus back to my camping site where I’m working at the festival ready for my last day before being back to London and will be a wonderful day made of walks that will stay with me forever.

The last day is memorable and the universe conspire with me to get me finish work 3 hours earlier than scheduled, I get to Castel Cary village and from there a wonderful day of walks trough the hills and the farms with a perfect sunny day

I was so happy and completely recharged and felt healed spiritually, I will go back to Glastonbury to experience more of the town and the spiritual aspect of it at some point but at the moment happy to have got the chance to enjoy a powerful area of U.K. that is Somerset, at the end maybe is true that is the Heart Chakra of our planet.
