The British Mystery School of Avalon

Natural springs appear all over the British Isles. Many are regarded as holy and are reputed to possess healing properties. Among the most venerated of these healing waters are the Red and White Springs that flow from the base of the famed Glastonbury Tor. In the Red & White Springs of Avalon the authors draw on alchemy and other spiritual traditions to explain the meaning of these two remarkable springs. They show how these traditions provide important keys to the initiatory and healing secrets of Avalon. This fascinating exploration of Chalice Well, the Tor and the White Spring is an essential guide to the mysteries of Glastonbury.

From the text:

White Spring

"That two springs, one red and one white, should rise together and flow out from one of the most remarkable hills in the British Isles strikes a profound chord in the imagination. In esoteric tradition, the Tor as world centre and axis mundi provides the means of passage between the mundane world and the spiritual realms. In such a place, the veils separating ordinary reality from spiritual planes can thin or dissolve, allowing those who are receptive to receive the guidance and blessings of the otherworld. The guardian spirits of the Avalonian soul-portal invite all those who are drawn here to pass through the symbolic gateway that is the Tor. The interplay between the subtle energies of the Red and White Springs is a vital key to understanding the impact of this experience upon the individual soul-body.

"The springs of Avalon have very powerful effects upon those who visit them, both to drink their waters and also, as attested over the centuries by many visitors, to attune to the subtle transformative energies of their guardian spirits. These revitalising waters aid in the stepping down and balanced assimilation of the intense spiritual forces focused upon the Tor. Through contact with the gentler healing powers of the two springs, the seeker can become aligned with the hidden energies of the Tor, where, in a manner equivalent to the transformation taking place in an alchemical alembic, they can receive initiation."
