Description

Isle of Avalon was written to restore the sense of the magical realm of the Otherworld to Western consciousness. It fully describes the physical and sacred topography of the British Isle of Avalon (pictured in beautiful photos) as well as its symbols, architecture, history, mythology and accounts of visitation. It also examines the implications of Avalon as an actual entrance to the Underworld.
