Glastonbury, Place of Legends and Psychic Archaeology
Glastonbury is one of the oldest sacred places in England. According to legend, Joseph of Arimathea founded the first Christian Church there. He brought his great nephew, Jesus there when he was a boy. There are the Glastonbury thorns that are said to have sprouted from Joseph’s staff when he leaned on it. According to legend, Joseph threw the Holy Grail, the chalice Jesus used at the Last Supper, into the Chalice Well. The Arthurian legends are connected with Glastonbury. In 1907, the Church of England bought the abbey ruins and hired Frederick Bligh Bond to oversee the excavations which began in 1908. He claimed to have gotten information from the spirits of monks, the Watchers who helped with the excavations.
