Berachah was once part of Chalice Orchard, where the writer and occultist, Dion Fortune used to live. The house, standing on the original site of her Temple, was designed and built by a Welsh architect who named it Berachah, meaning ‘Place of special spiritual blessing’. In Sufi ‘Beraka’, means ‘Point of blessing’. One of the Glastonbury Holy Thorn trees grows in the garden. It is reputed to be a cutting from the Holy Thorn planted by Joseph of Arimathea on Wearyall Hill. It has beautiful white flowers in Springtime, and the unusual second flowering between Winter Solstice and Imbolc.
