About The Speaking Tree

The Speaking Tree, based in Glastonbury, England, specialises in high quality 'remaindered' esoteric books from publishers in the Mind, Body and Spirit domain.

The Speaking Tree Description

What is The Speaking Tree?
The Speaking Tree started out as a little canvas-covered stall in the alleyway of "The Glastonbury Experience" (a kind of alternative shopping mall in Glastonbury), where Gareth Mills sold secondhand books. The stall grew into Courtyard Books , a secondhand bookshop just paces from the stall. Then Gareth took on No. 5 High Street, selling new books, and called the shop 'The Speaking Tree'.

We have continued to develop quickly supplying shops and individuals throughout the country and planet and appearing at various UK festivals and MBS weekends. We have two shops and a warehouse based in Glastonbury. We wholesale globally and welcome trade enquiries and visitors to our warehouse (by appointment).

At the Speaking Tree we do our best to be environmentally responsible - reusing then recycling all our paper, employing local craftspeople to fit out our shops with natural materials, buying fairtrade and eco-friendly products, and using Ecotricity to supply our electricity.

Shop opening: Mon-Fri 9. 30-5. 30 Sat-Sun 10-6
Warehouse: Mon-Thurs 9-6
Office: Mon-Fri 9-5

Solstice Blessings from Glastonbury

User

Some day, if you are lucky, you’ll return from a thunderous journey trailing snake scales, wing fragments and the musk of Earth and moon.
... Eyes will examine you for signs of damage, or change and you, too, will wonder if your skin shows traces
of fur, or leaves, if thrushes have built a nest of your hair, if Andromeda burns from your eyes.
Do not be surprised by prickly questions from those who barely inhabit their own fleeting lives, who barely taste their own possibility, who barely dream.
If your hands are empty, treasureless, if your toes have not grown claws, if your obedient voice has not become a wild cry, a howl,
you will reassure them. We warned you, they might declare, there is nothing else, no point, no meaning, no mystery at all, just this frantic waiting to die.
And yet, they tremble, mute, afraid you’ve returned without sweet elixir for unspeakable thirst, without a fluent dance or holy language
to teach them, without a compass bearing to a forgotten border where no one crosses without weeping for the terrible beauty of galaxies
and granite and bone. They tremble, hoping your lips hold a secret, that the song your body now sings will redeem them, yet they fear
your secret is dangerous, shattering, and once it flies from your astonished mouth, they-like you-must disintegrate before unfolding tremulous wings. – Geneen Marie Haugen

its a good page given every part or topics of life

This is simply one of the best bookshops I have ever dealt with. Quick service and very helpful staff. I think it's the best mail order service I have used.

The sole reason for a weekend away in Glastonbury is to visit this bookshop. It is, without doubt the very best, with every esoteric topic possible represented. I bought two armfuls of books, for a fraction of the cover price. I love how you can sit and read all around the shop, but be prepared, I always allow 2-3 hours per visit, as time seems to disappear, when you immerse yourself in all it has to offer.

The bestest book shop in the world ever. An amazing range of magical books and such good value for money <3

I love this bookshop. I have recently been ordering books from The Speaking Tree online as I live too far away. The books come in excellent condition and the prices are reasonable too.
