The Glastonbury Legends Investigated by Robert Symes
Strange tales gather around the swelling mound of Glastonbury Tor in Somerset. Here Joseph of Arimathea is said to have brought the Holy Grail - the cup used at the Last Supper - soon after the Crucifixion. Here King
Arthur was buried in his lake-isle of Avalon. And here is the ten-mile-wide circle of the Glastonbury Zodiac. Does the famed Holy Thorn, which is believed to have grown from Joseph's staff, really come from the Near East? Does the Zodiac not only exist, but have the power to lead people to it?
