![]() Page 1: The Name Also known as Ynis Wytrin, the Isle of Apples, and now called Glastonbury. Legend has it that Avalon was cared for and protected by the priestesses of the Goddess, and ruled by the Lady of Avalon, also known as the Lady of The Lake. The Isle of Avalon was located on the Glastonbury Tor and rose above the Marshlands of Somerset. During the time of the Inquisition, the Pagans were removed from the Tor and St. Michael's Church was built there. It is believed that when the Christian doctrine of the One True God started to overpower the Pagan beliefs of the Mother Goddess and the Father God, Avalon began to fade Beyond the Mists, and that now only those with the powers of the Goddess could call the barge, parting the Mists so they could travel between worlds to the Isle of Avalon. There, the Priestesses of the Goddess were trained, and lived. Another legend has it that the Isle of Glastonbury and the Isle of Apples occupies the same space. Only those with the power to call the barge and part the Mists could cross over to Avalon, while St. Michael's was open to anyone. Of all the legends, this one states that the People of the Earth, also known as Pagani or Pagans, view and know Avalon as the Isle of The Goddess, and only those of faith can travel there.
