Glastonbury Tor, a dramatic hill topped by the roofless St. Michael’s Tower in Somerset, England, rises abruptly from the flat Salisbury Plain, the Tor is a natural limestone and sandstone formation that has been shaped by human hands into seven symmetrical terraced tiers. The Tor anchors a vortex created by the intersection of the primary Saint Michael and Saint Mary ley lines.
The geological structure of the Tor is amplified by the presence of two distinct sacred springs at its base: the iron-rich Red Spring of the Chalice Well and the magnesium-rich White Spring. The seven terraces of the hill are often interpreted as a three-dimensional labyrinth, representing the seven levels of the human chakra system or the seven stages of alchemical initiation.
Phenomena at the Tor frequently include reports of “Glastonbury Lights,” mysterious orange and white orbs that hover above the summit or move rapidly across the surrounding marshes.

Note: There is currently no scientific method to prove that vortexes exist. Just because a location is on the vortex map, does not prove there is a vortex there. What it means, is that someone suggested the location and provided evidence or a personal account, and/or we found corroborating evidence from other sources. We do this so other visitors to the site can send us their opinion on the validity of the vortex claim, to build a consensus.
