Glastonbury

In 1921, while riding his horse, English brewer Alfred Watkins gets the revelation that the English countryside is covered with an invisible network of straight lines, connecting standing stones, tumuli, old churches, hillforts and the like.
In his book "The Old Straight Track" he calls these presumed connecting roads "ley-lines".
Meanwhile, whole generations of more or less occult ley-hunters, have brought a golden age for the topographic map industry, and went looking for every possible alignment of ancient, preferably holy, sites.

Some people admire in my "Glastonbury" drawing a symbolic representation of that worldwide system of "lines of telluric energy".
Don't ask me why.
Actually, this drawing is a failure.
I tried, by means of four different levels of knotwork, to reproduce a circle surrounding two smaller, entwined circles.
Like the symbol on the cover of Chalice Well in Glastonbury.

Being the symbol, at least according to researcher John Michell, that connects different holy places in the landscape in and around Glastonbury and thus causes the abbey to become a centre for the interaction between terrestrial and solar energies.
So it has indeed something to do with it...
