Avalon, Ynys Avallach (Isle of the Apples), Isle of the Blessed, Isle of Mists. A land of mists and magick. A legend. And according to some a myth. But is it? No, it is very real.
“Avalon (/ˈævəˌlɒn/; Latin: Insula Avallonis, Welsh: Ynys Afallon, Ynys Afallach; literally meaning “the isle of fruit [or apple] trees”), sometimes written Avallon or Avilion, is a legendary island featured in the Arthurian legend. It first appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth‘s 1136 Historia Regum Britanniae (“The History of the Kings of Britain”) as the place where King Arthur‘s sword Excalibur was forged and later where Arthur was taken to recover from his wounds after the Battle of Camlann. It’s said that is the place where Arthur was taken to his final rest after fighting Mordred. Avalon was associated from an early date with mystical practices and figures such as Morgan le Fay.”
It is believed to be Glastonbury Tor. But I don’t believe it is. Because it is not that easy to find. It is hidden in the mists and by magick. For it is only found by those who know where to look.
