Tor
This is the most prominent feature in the Glastonbury area. Tor means hill in Celtic. At the top of the Tor is an ancient stone tower, which was part of a small chapel built in the 14th century. The unstable geology of the Tor caused the chapel to fall down, and the tower is all that remains. Around the sides are terraced paths that form a labyrinth system going up the Tor. From the top one can see for miles around the countryside. The town of Glastonbury is visible below, as are Wearyall and Chalice Hills. The town of Wells and the twin towers of Wells Cathedral can be seen in the distance.
The Tor is one of the area’s important power spots, and one can sense the strength of the spiritual energy here. This is a good place to meditate, but especially to do Reiki and other healing exercises. Releasing negativity, empowering goals and affirmations, dreaming and formulating plans are all easily done here. This is also a great place to simply relax in the grass on the side of the hill.

When I first came to Glastonbury in 1995, I awoke at my B&B one morning to find the area covered in mists, yet I could see the sun dimly shining through. I realized there might be something special taking place on the Tor, so I quickly prepared myself and left. Climbing up through the mists, I slowly rose into brilliant sunlight as I got to the top. There was no wind and just below was a blanket of mist going out to the horizon. There were others there; we were all silent, simply staring out across the mists, lost in meditation.
