The Vesica Piscis in Bloom: A Journey Through Time at Glastonbury’s Chalice Well

There is something endlessly captivating about vintage travel postcards—they capture a specific pocket of peace frozen in time.

This vintage piece (printed in Great Britain by J. Arthur Dixon) brings us straight to the heart of Glastonbury, Somerset. The focus is the famous Chalice Well, enveloped in a sea of spring flowers. Take a close look at the ironwork on the wellhead: it features the Vesica Piscis, a geometric symbol steeped in ancient mysticism, early Christian lore, and Goddess spirituality.

For centuries, seekers and travelers have journeyed to these waters looking for healing and tranquility.
