BURROW MUMP, Somerset
“Let’s head back via Burrow Mump,” he said. “It’s quite special.”
And he was right.
What a glorious mound (mound seems more appropriate than ‘hill’) of earth and energies! Maintained by the National Trust (and a herd of friendly sheep), it has an outwardly gentle and surprisingly magnetic feel. Wonderfully healthy trees and their low-lying canopies entice us up the short climb to the peak where I instantly felt the aura and ‘forcefield’. The ruins of the 18th-century church of St Michael (built on the site of a medieval church) are interesting and ‘friendly’ - though not where my focus is drawn. “There’s something at the centre of this mound,” I say. Confirmed by guidance from my channel, it was the land beneath which was, for me, of main interest:
‘What we would say, my dear, is a building like this is not in alignment with the reason for the mound. It is the mound which holds the power. The mound has esoteric properties and, as you can see, enables vision beyond worlds. The building is an homage to the passing times.’
Circling the ruins and feeling into the energy pulls, I get out my compass. As suspected, the building is perfectly aligned North to South, East to West and energetically ‘gridded’ in its four corners. But it’s the centre point - the ‘cross point’ of the entrances within the nave that I’m drawn to, where not only does the ground significantly dip, but the energies converge - or emerge. Standing upon it, I have a feeling similar to a lift shaft beneath me, descending to the centre of ‘somewhere’…a gate, maybe…and a sense of the underworlds. A sense, too, of significance of the sun, moon, stars and constellations - of a decommissioned portal to other realms, or, as my companion said: an axis mundi (according to Merriam-Webster: world axis : line or stem through the earth's center connecting its surface to the underworld and the heavens and around which the universe revolves).
Supposedly, the St Michael energy line runs through Barrow Mump, and the 360 degree far-reaching views include Glastonbury Tor in the distance, though this feels of less significance to me. I sensed an energetic ‘dome’ over the mound; that it had been ‘created by men and maintained by women’ - a passing on (not ‘down’) of custodian and was a place of ‘visioning’ and information gathering. Druid or Pagan, or older even, perhaps. And a feeling of energies not dissimilar to those experienced at crop circles. I connected with the spirit of place, but was encouraged by my guidance to focus on the place of the spirit, rather than the spirit of place. Which made sense. The energies of this mound and axis hold a lot of people and land: a forcefield surrounding and emanating from it…capable of holding even more, I sensed. And, as a result, a feeling of welcome and lightness - symbolised by the fast fluttering of butterflies which kept landing and settling upon us at the ‘cross point’. Butterflies signify transformation and spiritual growth. Burrow Mump certainly feels like a gateway to this and more.
If you are ‘heading that way’, I recommend a visit :)
