This review is from: Dion Fortune's Glastonbury: Avalon of the Heart (Paperback)

Celebrate ... this book is no longer out of print! After searching for it for many years, it has recently been reissued. Dion Fortune, a.k.a. Violet Mary Firth, wrote this classic work in the 1930s, yet her observations on Glastonbury still ring true today. GLASTONBURY: AVALON OF THE HEART eloquently brings together in one place all of the various mundane and esoteric lore that surrounds this quaint little hamlet in the middle of the English West Country. All of the mystery, intrigue and sacredness of this land are beautifully rendered in her tiny collection of essays. To read this book is to inspire a visit to that sacred land. To visit the ancient seat of Avalon is a life-changing experience. Those of you who are familiar with Dion Fortune know clearly of her association with esoteric secret societies, the sacred Qabalah, and psychic warfare. Fortunately, for those of you haven't the time or inclination to pursue those other nobel but complex disciplines, AVALON OF THE HEART has been kept simple and accessible. Read it. Then visit this truly magical land.
