Topic: The dark side of the Glastonbury rock festival?

I have had misgivings about the annual Glastonbury festival for years as a major loosh festival played out  near and on the famous vale of avalon and the Tor and all those ley lines and always close to the summer solstice.

The ancient sites and ley lines are not evil in themselves but may i feel add enormous energies to any "spells",  symbols, crowd adoration, sound frequencies, overt or covert manipulations or subliminals and the planting of powerful memes.

With the "pyramid stage" and this year they pushing the global warming theme to all attendees with a strange pink triangle logo according to their web site  http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/

Here is an interesting view from a blogger.

Any thoughts or has anyone who lives in the UK ever been to Glastonbury fest and got a feel for the energy there during the festival?

Re: The dark side of the Glastonbury rock festival?

That blog post is very interesting indeed. I went to Glastonbury a couple of years ago, but only for one day - I didn't spend enough time there to really get a feel for it to be honest. I didn't notice anything "off" about the energy there, but I was younger & more naive back then! It has a reputation for being very positive, very chilled-out, very hippie-ish - the drug culture was obvious even in the short time I spent there - but I don't doubt that there could be something far more sinister behind it. Surely the same could apply to any music concert, albeit on a smaller scale? That kind of thing has gotta be a real energy-fest for non-physical entities. All the drugs & inebriation must contribute to that, too - all those people losing control of themselves?

I wouldn't go to Glastonbury again, not just for those reasons, but because there are usually only one or two acts in the lineup that I actually want to see. The year I attended, I loved watching Tori Amos and Martha Wainwright but hated all the rest. Bjork is the only one I'd be interested in this year. Plus I can't stand the soundalike trendy "indie" bands that are being shoved down our throats these days, and they're exactly the kind of bands that play at Glastonbury.

Thanks for posting the link, it's going to give me hours and hours of fun I can tell.

I've never been to Glastonbury, can't really say why. Most of the mainstream music now is rubbish, like Daisy said. It occurred to me that the bands that are popular at the moment sing about nothing significant at all. Think of the Artic Monkeys, they are lauded for their lyrics concerning getting drunk and police riots. And the Fratellis, what's the deal with them? Maybe I'm not hearing what everyone else hears.

And the pyramid, damn that's obvious when you know what you're looking for!

Interesting...
In Glastonbury they harvest that type of energy and in the Middle East
never ending wars they harvest another type of energy, one is “petroleum”
and the other is “gas”...

From http://matthew-delooze.blogspot.com/2007/04/answer.html
“The ancients all agree that the ‘Sun’ was created from ‘chaos’ and in
my opinion chaos = dark forces. (Biblical; let there be light)”


That is a simplistic and a incorrect view, for me he is mixing things...
He was caught in a “tutti-frutti thing”

For the thing to work should be a balanced interaction between the forces.

Only order and you have no progress, it is static.
Only caos and you have only “destruction” also ends in nothing.
So only order or only caos are evil, the only good is from the balance and
also remember me about Lucifer/Ahriman/Christ and Brahma/Vishnu/Shiva.
Or maybe it is me who is “tutti-fruttied”...

Well at least I do not like festivals...
Maybe to go and take some photos tongue

Hi Pictus, isnt the masons motto something like "order out of chaos"

I too dont agree with some of his assumptions, conclusions or black and white take on the matter but feel he is bang on the mark about what is going  on a spiritual/energy level at these events.

People familiar with the Richard Hammond crash story may find his take on that interesting.

Its not like we are fractions of the whole but rather versions of the whole.

Is that the Top Gear guy? What happened exactly, & what's your theory on it?

It seemed strange to me at the time and thought it may be some kind celebrity worship/sympathy type loosh stuff but did not think about it too much at the time, i try not to have too many personal theories smile
I just find Matthews Deloozes's take to be of interest and quite plausible and anyone interested in the planting of via memes, subliminal messages and symbols may find his analysis informative.

I do not know, but there is a book with that name

About the events probably he is right...
