A description of Glastonbury that remains one of the most evocative and poignant accounts of this wild yet holy place; a power center polarizing with distant Jerusalem and linking and harmonizing the Christian way with the primeval and pagan past of England.
This book shines a much needed light upon the medieval intrigues of Glastonbury Abbey and its invention of the popular legends of King Arthur's grave and the visit of Joseph of Arimathea; but this book is much more than that. Behind the Arthurian romances of the 12th and 13th centuries are the very real historical activities of the House of Blois and the Angevin Empire. Glastonbury Abbey was intrinsically involved with the development of the Grail mysteries and the suppression of Celtic pagan mysticism. This informative book also explores and reveals many of the esoteric ideas behind the Arthurian Mysteries and medieval occultism in general. From the back cover: 'This is not a book about the historical Arthur. This is a book about the history of Arthurian Romance and its very real significance to Glastonbury during medieval times. The Arthur of Glastonbury is a myth created by the Benedictine Order of Glastonbury Abbey; motivated by the many fascinating intrigues of their day; this is their story. Richard the Lionheart, Excalibur, King Arthur's Grave, Avalon, and the Holy Grail...'
Legends of King Arthur swirl about Glastonbury like a tantalizing fog from the nearby Somerset marshes. The nearby hill fort at South Cadbury has long been suggested as the location for Camelot. Indeed, excavations of South Cadbury suggest that it was in use during the early 6th century, which is the likeliest era for the real Arthur to have lived. In this book, the author explores the idea that King Arthur and his wife Guinevere are buried at Glastonbury, a town which also has legendary links to Camelot and the iconic Holy Grail.
