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
