TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 GLASTONBURY This Incredible TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 GLASTONBURY The Chalice Well This incredible well is the center of the regional mystery of the Holy Grail. Did Joseph of Arimathea bring the grail and bury it deep within the well waters? Or was this an older site – a pagan site dedicated to the Goddess, the Earth Mother, whose sanctuary the early Christians associated with their own sacred legend?. The exquisite ironwork design on the interior well cover was constructed by the amazing Hamish Miller, the dowser, who is also a blacksmith and jeweler. We will be meeting him later on in our journey to learn the secrets of dowsing from a master! I did an early morning tour of the Chalice Well Gardens, before the tourists and day trippers arrived! Apple tree Vesica Pisces pool Hawthorn tree, with yews behind it Garden path Cobblestone and Trellis path After a hearty vegetarian breakfast provided by the Rainbow’s End, Mara led us on a tour of the garden. She told us that this was a popular healing retreat especially during the Sixteenth Century, the reign of Elizabeth I, when the queen’s doctor, John Dee, came here for the waters. Pool where Dr. John Dee immersed his patients to heal The pool was also popular during Victorian times, where people made special excursions to come and “take the waters”, although there is another famous place in Wiltshire – the town of Bath – which had been used since Roman times as a healing resort. Vesica Pisces Mara teaching by the Vesica Pisces Pool The Vesica Pisces is a geometric shape that has been known since the ancient Greek Pythagorean mathematicians. The design consists of two connecting circles of the same radius, which creates a third almond shape from the shared area between them. Vesica Pisces means “Bladder of the fish” in Latin, for the central shape is fish-like, which made it a popular symbol among Christians. It is also called a mandorla in Italian because the center portion is also shaped like an almond. The Vesica Pisces theme is recreated throughout the Chalice Well Gardens, and is also available in fine jewelry. I have found Vesica Pisces jewelry at Renaissance and Dickens Fairs, Scottish Games, as well as various shops in Glastonbury. According to the Pythagoreans, the dimensions of the body of the Vesica Pisces amounts to the square root of 3, a magical number. The Christian community associated the design with Christ in his capacity of the holy fisherman, and the New Age community interprets the symbol as yonic, or female genitalia, heralding the dawning of the Return of the Goddess. Again, this symbol, like Glastonbury itself, blends many diverse communities into a living whole. The spear through the circles is said to represent the lance that pierced Christ. I see it as another powerful symbol of the Glastonbury area – the Tree of Life. This image could also be seen as a Western version of the Chinese Yin/Yang symbol, representing male and female energies and the central area where they blend and become one. Mara led us to a very powerful spot in the gardens – the Lion Fountain, which has a faucet from which many people drink of the healing waters. There is a ceremony where we pour the waters out in gratitude before we quaff the liquid. Gathering at the Lion Fountain for water blessings Merlin, under the red stream of water A Levantine Hawthorne on the grounds of Little Saint Michael, scion from the original on Wearyall hill. Apple orchards up the hill beyond the gardens Shrine of the Mother within the gardens There are two sacred streams of water in this vicinity, both having their source under Glastonbury Tor. The Red Stream, which in some traditions is under the guidance of Morgan le Fay, who was most likely a priestess of the ancient Mother Goddess to which these precincts were once dedicated. The high chalybeate (iron) content of the levels this water flows through colors its environment red. Red is often associated with the Goddess. THE WHITE SPRING The other stream, called the White Stream, also originates under the Tor, but at a different level, going through deposits of calcium, which leaves a powdery white residue on the areas it flows through. This spring is dedicated to an ancient deity – Gwynn ap Nudd, who is the leader of the Wild Hunt – associated with winter and death. White is often associated with the God. These two springs are separated by a mere lane, Well House Lane. The White Spring courtyard Door to the White Wellhouse It has been said that the Golden Age will come again when these two magical streams of water are allowed to meet and flow together as they once did eons ago. GLASTONBURY TOR After visiting the White Springs, we trekked up Well House Lane to the entrance to Glastonbury Tor. The climb is not too long or arduous if one is in reasonably good shape. We had members in their 60’s and 70’s who made it with no problem. Glastonbury Tor Path to the Tor Tower dedicated to Saint Michael When I had visited in 2003, the tower dedicated to Saint Michael on the top of Glastonbury Tor was under scaffolding and we weren’t allowed inside, and I was delighted to get a clear view of it on this trip. It is a magnificent structure. One of the most significant carvings on the tower is a section depicting Saint Brigid milking her cow. The Saint was said to have founded a chapel in Glastonbury, which was called Beckery. The chapel and its well are long lost in all but folk memory, and there is a movement to resurrect the area, which is now buried under a car park. St. Brigid milking her cow. St. Michael with his scales Wearyall Hill from Glastonbury Tor Looking up the Tower The weather was very changeable, sunny one moment, overcast the next, and at one point the rain drove us into the building, where we dowsed for the center of its “Michael/Mary line” Me, dowsing Inside, looking up It was difficult to pull ourselves away from this ancient building and its panoramic view of Glastonbury and beyond. But there was another treat for the day – a visit to Gog and Magog, ancient oak trees that might have once been a part of a Druid grove of oaks. Here, Mara and one of her Avalonian priestesses, JoAnn, performed a ritual to honor the trees. Meditating under the trees Gog and Magog, ancient arboreal sentinels of the land: After a long visit with the trees, we walked back to the town, and several of us peeled off for a drink at the nearby Rifleman’s Arms! We didn’t stay too long, because we knew the Rainbow’s End staff had another magnificent meal waiting for us, and we weren’t disappointed!

ISBN 978-1-909698-64-2 CONTENTS Introduction Chapter 1 - Lancelot the Legend Chapter 2 - Lancelot in France Chapter 3 - Lancelot in Britain Conclusion Introduction Of all the Knights of the Round Table, none is so famous as Sir Lancelot. He is both the finest of the Arthurian knights, and the worst. He is the champion of the Round Table, and the reason for its destruction. He is loyal, yet treacherous. Noble, but base. His is a complex character that combines the best and worst of the world of chivalry in one person. It is Sir Lancelot who features in every modern adaptation of the old stories. Be it an historical novel, a Hollywood movie or a British TV series, Lancelot is centre stage. He is usually shown as a romantically flawed hero doomed to eventual disgrace by the same talents and skills that earn him fame in the first place.

Signed Name of student: Meike Weijtmans Student number: s4235797 Weijtmans, s4235797/3 Abstract Celtic culture has always been a source of interest in contemporary popular culture, as it has been in the past; Greek and Roman writers painted the Celts as barbaric and uncivilised peoples, but were impressed with their religion and mythology. The Celtic revival period gave birth to the paradox that still defines the Celtic image to this day, namely that the rurality, simplicity and spirituality of the Celts was to be admired, but that they were uncivilised, irrational and wild at the same time. Recent debates surround the concepts of “Celt”, “Celticity” and “Celtic” are also discussed in this thesis. The first part of this thesis focuses on Celtic history and culture, as well as the complexities surrounding the terminology and the construction of the Celtic image over the centuries. This main body of the thesis analyses the way Celtic elements in contemporary adaptations of the Arthurian narrative form the modern Celtic image.

On a clear day, looking east you can see the dark line of hills marking out Exmoor National Park and if you look in a west south-west direction you can even spot the Bristol Channel glistening in the distance. As our eyes pan across the view they rest on a perfectly rounded knoll with a short tower on top. This is Glastonbury Tor. Claimed as the site of the legendary Vale of Avalon and the final resting place of King Arthur, the tor rises up above the flat land surrounding it and is visible for miles around. Why does the mystical Glastonbury Tor rise up out of the surrounding lowlands? First of all look straight ahead and in the middle distance you’ll see three hills which punctuate the flat landscape. From left to right they are Hay Hill, Ben Knowle Hill and Yarley Hill, part of a low ridge just south of the River Axe. Surrounding these hills the Somerset Levels are an area of low-lying farmland. The lowest point is just 0.2 metres above sea level.
