Lady of Avalon (Avalon, 3)

Product Information

In Lope Garcia de Salazar's Spanish version of the Post-Vulgate Roman du Graal, Avalon is conflated with (and explicitly named as) the mythological Island of Brasil, said to be located west of Ireland and afterwards hidden in mist by Morgan's enchantment. [31] Avalon has been occasionally described as a valley. In Le Morte d'Arthur, for instance, Avalon is called an isle twice and a vale once (the latter in the scene of Arthur's final voyage, oddly despite Malory's adoption of the boat travel motif). Notably, the vale of Avalon ( vaus d'Avaron) is mentioned twice in Robert de Boron's Arthurian prequel Joseph d'Arimathie [ fr] as a place located in western Britannia, to where a fellowship of early Christians started by Joseph of Arimathea brought the Grail after its long journey from the Holy Land, finally delivered there by Bron the first Fisher King. [32] [33] The Avalon Series is a series of fantasy novels written by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Diana L. Paxson. [1] Paxson took over sole authorship after Bradley's death in 1999. The series focuses on the legendary island of Avalon and the various women who have shaped its history and that of Britain. Darrah, John (17 February 1997). Paganism in Arthurian Romance.

When Caillean grows old, Sianna succeeds her as High Priestess. Her daughter by Gawen succeeds her in turn, making Sianna the matriarch of a line of High Priestesses. Medieval suggestions for the location of Avalon ranged far beyond Glastonbury. They included paradisal underworld realms equated with the other side of the Earth at the antipodes, as well as Mongibel ( Mount Etna) in Sicily [71] (associated there with the optical mirage phenomenon of Fata Morgana) and other, unnamed locations in the Mediterranean. [72] Pomponius Mela's ancient Roman description of the island of Île de Sein, off the coast of Brittany, was notably one of Geoffrey of Monmouth's original inspirations for his Avalon.

Apples were prevalent and we know this because of the name of this magical place. Apples are a representation of the Mother Goddess. Cut an apple in half horizontally and the seeds form the shape of a pentagram—a five pointed star and a symbol connected to the Goddess herself. Apples symbolize knowledge. Think of the story of Adam and Eve. Eve was tempted to eat the “apple” from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. For her to take a bite was for her to “know”.

Even if it's true that she came from paradise, there's no way that she could be Merlin's younger sister. In ancient times the role of a Priestess or Priest of the Goddess was recognized as a Sacred Calling, a life lived in service to Goddess within one of Her Sacred Temples, found all around the world in many different cultures. The majority of those Goddess Temples were destroyed when patriarchal forces took over the world thousands of years ago.Barber, Richard (17 February 1991). Arthurian Literature X.

Today, the Lady of the Lake is best known as the character called either Nimue, or several scribal variants [1] of Ninianne and Viviane. Medieval authors and copyists produced various forms of the latter two, including: [2] [3] [4] Nymenche (in addition to Ninianne / Ninienne) in the Vulgate Lancelot; Nim[ i] ane and Ui[ n/ ui] ane (in addition to Viviane) in the Vulgate Merlin ( Niniane in the version Livre d'Artus); Nin[ i] eve / Nivene / Niviène / Nivienne and Vivienne in the Post-Vulgate Merlin ( Niviana in the Spanish Baladro del Sage Merlin); and Nimiane / Niniame and Vivian / Vivien in Arthour and Merlin and Henry Lovelich's Merlin. Further variations of these include alternate spellings with the letter i written as y, such as in the cases of Nymanne ( Nimanne as in Michel le Noir's Merlin) and Nynyane (Niniane). Glastonbury is the Outerworld counterpart to the Otherworld of the Isle of Avalon. To truly become a Sister/Brother or Priestess/Priest of Avalon it is important to become familiar with the actual physical and spiritual landscape of Glastonbury Avalon, even if you live at a distance from Glastonbury, as the land is the gateway to knowledge of the Lady and Her mysteries. Students need to be able to physically walk the landscape of Glastonbury with ease when they come here on visits and it is a good idea to spend extra time on the land when you come for the required visits. a b "Two Accounts of the Exhumation of Arthur's Body: Gerald of Wales". britannia.com.
