Classical Devotional Polytheism
Dedicated to the Theoi (Greco-Roman Deities) and Numina.

For those with a deeply devotional relationship to the manifold Divine and with the reverence for animal life embodied in Pythagorean philosophy, there is a discussion group and a Votive Temple and prayer garden based in Glastonbury. Priesthood training is also available for those called to service.

Anyone who has requests, prayers or petitions they wish placed before the Theoi may message them to the temple attendant if they cannot come in person.

Glastonbury Goddess Temple and the Goddess Hall

The Goddess Temple is a sacred space open to all, which is specially set aside for the exploration and celebration of the Divine Feminine in all Her forms. It is a holy place where people can worship and honour Her in ways that are old and new and for people to explore their own understanding of the Goddess.
In the Glastonbury Goddess Temple we mainly celebrate those Goddesses who are particularly associated with Glastonbury and the Isle of Avalon.
As well as the Goddess Temple, we now have a wonderful Goddess Hall, offering an open space for the 8 seasonal festivals ceremonies (focusing on the wheel of Ana), which are celebrated in the Hall and is open to the general public. Ceremonies, Handfastings, Priestess Training and workshops will be held in the Goddess Hall and it can also be hired for spiritual Goddess workshops.
The existing Goddess Temple will remain open 365 days of the year ,12 midday to 4pm for people to pray, meditate and connect with the Goddess.

There is also an annual Goddess conference here in Glastonbury, attended by people from all over the world.
