5.0 out of 5 stars MAGICAL, Jun 5 2000
By David D. Warner (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Glastonbury: Avalon Of The Heart P (Paperback)
Celebrate! This delightful book is no longer out of print! After unsuccessfully searching used and out-of-print bookstores for this book for many years, it has recently been reissued by Samuel Weiser, Inc. I was NOT disappointed. 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 ancient 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 the use of psychic defense measures to combat Nazism during World War II. Fortunately, for those of you who haven't the time or the inclination to pursue those other noble but complex disciplines and intersts, AVALON OF THE HEART has been kept simple and accessible. Read it. Then visit this truly magical land and see it for yourself. And by all means, take a copy of this book with you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Glastonbury - Avalon of the Heart, Mar 27 2000
By BuddhaFrog "buddhafrog" (TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glastonbury: Avalon Of The Heart P (Paperback)
The author's love for the Glastonbury area shines through in the wonderfully detailed images she is able to convey to the reader. We learn a bit about the surrounding countryside, the history of the area, and the stories and myths of Avalon. Christian and Pagan alike will find things that touch the heart in this book. If you have been to Glastonbury, it will bring back fond memories. If not, after reading the book you will probably want to visit some day. Minus one star for slightly redundant writing style; otherwise a five star book.
