Avalon

📍 Glastonbury Tor, England Legendary Place ~500 AD
Avalon

In Celtic tradition, Avalon was portrayed as a mystical paradise - an island where eternal springtime blessed the land and harmony prevailed among all beings. The isle was renowned for its abundant apple orchards, and legend tells that its soil was so fertile that crops grew freely without need for cultivation. This magical realm was governed by Morgan Le Fay, a powerful enchantress, alongside her eight sisters who were all skilled in the healing arts.

According to the tales, when King Arthur suffered mortal wounds in battle, he was transported by boat to Avalon's shores. There, Morgan Le Fay tended to his injuries with her mystical healing abilities. Arthur remained in Avalon's timeless embrace, where it was said he would rest until Britain required his leadership once more. Many scholars and traditions have connected Avalon with Glastonbury in Somerset, England, where local lore claims that both Arthur and his queen Guinevere were laid to rest within the grounds of the historic abbey.
