Personal Introduction

My name is Christina and I'm a writer, medievalist, journalist and teacher.

I first heard of the Goddess movement way back in the 1980s, when we were still all eating brown rice and meditating and wearing tie-dye skirts.

That was before the internet and the web and the whole incredible technological transformation of the world began.

I'd read of Avalon in twelfth-century English manuscripts. I'd been to Glastonbury and drunk the water in the spring sunshine of the secret chalice garden. I'd taken my babies up onto the Tor and looked out over the sacred land.

I'd met priestesses of the Goddess. I knew about the Glastonbury Goddess Conference and the new manifestation of Avalon. As a journalist, I'd written about sacred sites in the West of England and made TV programmes showing them.

Then in 2006, chance brought me to the Glastonbury Goddess Temple. And we had a new idea: to set up a web column, to let everyone know what was going on there.

This is the beginning of that process.
