Avalon, a site of great power, revered since ancient times as an entrance to, and exit from, the Otherworld. "The Isle of Avalon" illustrates and describes the physical and sacred topography of the Isle as well as its symbols, architecture and history. This is an updated and revised edition of the first book to provide a coherent context in which to understand Avalon's many mysteries. Nicholas Mann shows that the landscape features of the Isle and Tor, including the Glastonbury Zodiac, the Abbey, the Tor Labyrinth and the St Michael Ley Line are congruent expressions of Avalon's remarkable qualities as a focus for the magical and spiritual power of the English landscape.

Here we revisit The Trickster, The Hunter, The Shape Shifter, The Green Man and Gods of Wisdom Wealth and Laughter. There are many Gods and they are also the Guardians of Nature and Protector of Animals. Whether European, Hindu, Ancestors of The Dreamtime, American Kachinas, Ussen and Wakan Tanka they are all accessible today. Walk through the complexities of belief and style and find the answers to your questions.
