Photo of terraces on Glastonbury Tor; "By this time society possessed a priestly class, the learned and respected Druids. Belief focused on individual prowess, and on the local spirits of the hearth, the springs or the groves. What the Iron Age people did not do was spend energy on enormous religious works. The Celtic people would have had to have held the island and the Tor in especial awe to have been motivated to labour on the terraces." - from Glastonbury Tor: A Guide to the History and Legends by Nick Mann (1986) #glastonbury #tor #celtic #glastonburytor #druid #terraces #religious #spirituality #holyisleofavalon #avaloniantradition

Photo of total lunar eclipse; "Total lunar eclipses hold very particular energies which have strong resonance with Arianrhod in several ways.

Image of lunar eclipse phases; "The Time of Arianrhod is heralded by the total lunar eclipse. By definition, a lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes into the Earth’s shadow fully or partially. This event only occurs a few times a year because the orbit of the moon around the earth is tilted five degrees off the earth’s ecliptic, or our planet’s orbital plane around the sun." - from The Mythic Moons of Avalon: Lunar & Herbal Wisdom from the Isle of Healing by Jhenah Telyndru #arianrhod #eclipse #lunarclipse #totallunareclipse #mythicmoons #ynysafallon #celestial #avalonian #avaloniantradition

"A rare and celebrated fifteenth-century wall painting in Wedmore Church near Glastonbury depicts a being that is half woman and half fish, holding aloft a round looking glass. That this unusual iconography was included in a Christian painting of St. Christopher may point to a continuation of affection for a local Celtic deity or water spirit; some believe her to be the Lady of the Lake herself. The symbol itself is very much in keeping with Avalon's spiritual essence. ..." - from Avalon Within: A Sacred Journey of Myth, Mystery, and Inner Wisdom by Jhenah Telyndru (2010) Image by GO69 on Wikimedia Commons. #iconography #avalon #avaloniantradition #ladyofthelake #celtic

"JUNIPER-TREE.—(Juniperis Communis.)

It is a remedy against dropsy, and brings down the terms, helps the fits of the mother, expels the wind, and strengthens the stomach. Indeed there is no better remedy for wind in any part of the body, or the cholic, than the chymical oil drawn from the berries. They are for cough, shortness of breath, consumption, pains in the belly, rupture, cramps, convulsions, and y delivery to Pregnant women ; they strengthen the brain, fortify the sight, by strengthening the nerves, are good for argues, help the gout and sciatica, and strengthen the limbs of the body ; it is also a speedy remedy to such as have the scurvy, to rub the gums with; the berries stay all fluxes, help the hemorrhoids or piles, and kill worms in children: a lye made from the ashes of the wood, and the body bathed with it, cures the itch, scabs and leprosy ; the berries break the stone, procure appetite when it is lost ; and are good for all palsies, and falling-sickness." - from Culpeper's Complete Herbal by Nicholas Culpeper (1800) #junipertree #juniperiscommunis #herbalism #avalon #berries #celtic #avalonian #avaloniantradition #botany

"For while the aforesaid chief lay ill, from Anglia came a faithless people who with sword subdued all the country and the regions across the Humber. Arthur was a boy and on account of his youth he was not able to defeat such a force. Therefore after seeking the advice of clergy and laity he sent to Hoel, king of Brittany, and asked him to come to his aid with a swift fleet, for they were united by ties of blood and friendship, so that each was bound to relieve the distresses of the other. Hoel therefore quickly collected for the war fierce men from every side and came to us with many thousands, and joining with Arthur he attacked the enemy often, and drove them back and made terrible slaughter. With his help Arthur was secure and strong among all the troops when he attacked the enemy whom at length he conquered and forced to return to their own country, and he quieted his own kingdom by the moderation of his laws." - from The Vita Merlini by Geoffrey of Monmouth Translated by John Jay Parry (1925) #arthur #hoel #family #arthurian #avalon #vitamerlini #celtic #avaloniantradition
