Just a question to while away the time waiting for lineup news. I tell my husband the festival has a uniquely special feel because of the ley lines. I am half joking but not sure I don't believe it. He thinks I'm daft. Am I? I like the mystical thought of it anyway. 

Hiya look at some of the early videos to do with the festival, theres normally about 5 . I normally start to watch them in January to get me in the mood.  Did I actually say videos. I meant Utube

Read 'The Old Straight Track' by Alfred Watkins,  written in 1925.

It was the Pyramid Stage that was laid out by way of the Ley lines !

Just found them

 

 

For some reason I don't remember seeing that... (not that much ley line related, but fascinating) It's interesting to see how they interacted evidently quite a bit. She was a complicated person and did have legitimate concerns.. although it's pointed out the festival was there before she was. I feel like I understand her a bit more, if not empathise with her all that much. It seems like they tried ways to pacify her although it was always going to be a big problem. Is her place where Tangerine Fields is now?

This is awesome, thanks! 

Does anyone know what happened to poor Mrs Goode? Hope she managed to make peace with the Eavii 😂

Yes...Mrs Goode has sinced passed on but her family still own the house sited just off Pylle Road.  Tangerine Fields use at least one field owned by the Goode's and Mrs Goode's large white crucifix still stands at the top of the field visible from the festival.

Although not a Christian business (as far as I'm aware...) Tangerine Fields does have a small shelter set up at the bottom of this field which has some Christian literature to browse, and has in the past had a simple Sunday service for anyone wishing to attend. I'm guessing it may be a concession made by TF for use of the field.

I don't think it's ley lines, but there's definitely a special energy to that place. It was still there at Worthy Pastures.

It's the people, not the place. Well some (enough) of them anyway.

Ley lines are something I ignore and write off as being obvious hippie bollocks and nonsense.
 

BUT I’ve had to change my mind about other stuff I’ve written off as being tosh for hairy people (yoga, chai tea, manic organic breakfasts, etc etc)!
there is something entirely magical and beautiful in the fields of Glastonbury festival. I felt it within two minutes of getting through gate C at my first festival, and I feel it in my bones every time I’m there. I don’t understand it, can’t rationalise it, other than there’s something magical. Something beyond my comprehension. So I dial down my cynicism, smile and enjoy it.

Interesting, cheers. 😊

In 2021 her son David said in an article that she "Liked Michael very much. There was a warmth and respect there, even though they held fundamentally different views."

Doesn't sound like the family hold any grudges. 

I googled her the first time I saw this documentary, and found a Telegraph article on the documentary and the story after... Although I am fairly sure nobody here wants to pay for the Telegraph, so just use way back machine to bypass the paywall... (You don't have to thank me for that little trick if you weren't already aware... 😉 It's a pleasure.)

This bit.

'Up the road, the owners of the Williams brothers’ old farmhouse have gone one step further. At festival time their once fiercely-protected land becomes Camp Kerala, the uber-luxury glamping “experience” where festival-goers can pay almost £10,000 for a five-star tent and a pair of VIP festival tickets.'

I remember those brothers from watching the documentary. I grew up on Anglesey and I swear every village had a version of these two. The fact one of the more preposterous glamping operations ended up on their land is just a bit sad
