Gothic Image Tours
Jamie George
Your Sacred Tours Leader and Guide
 |
Gothic Image Tours has been operating for over twenty years as a wing of Gothic Image bookstore and publishing house based in Glastonbury, England.
The tours sprung from a call to offer small groups of pilgrims a way to explore and discover the spirit of the land by visiting the ancient sacred places of Britain and Ireland.
   Three guidebooks published by Gothic Image of Glastonbury |
It all started in the late 1970s when Jamie George began his guided journeys around Glastonbury, which then grew to include Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Since Gothic Image then began to publish well known authors such as John Michell, Geoffrey Ashe and John Matthews, it was a natural development to invite them along to accompany these sacred journeys. Thus began Gothic Image Tours.
In 1982 Jamie met Marion Zimmer Bradley, author of The Mists of Avalon. Jamie was able to help with her research for the book and then she too joined the tours.
As a pioneer in providing these kinds of journeys, Gothic Image provides a relaxed, informal, informative but well organised way of travelling with kindred spirits to these ancient places, with the benefit of the knowledge and warm companionship of respected teachers and scholars.
