I would be interested what does Avalon means to you. Is it a mystic place where King Arthur awaits till Britannia needs him, or is it an imaginary place where live will be perfect? Or is there maybe a place that you would call Avalon? Have you ever been there? Tell me what you think!
"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."
-Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture)
Avalon is not a thing of jest .... you must accept the myth or legend as is ....or not .... but those of us who believe in our pure Celtic heritage .... accept it as such
Seriously .... Avalon is a way to pin your hopes and dreams onto something .... if we don't believe in something then what is left .... Avalon is one of those things we tend to zero in on to try to attach ourselves to some kind of reality/fantasy in order to be able to accept the reality or our every day existence .... sometimes vey hard .... we have to believe in something .... for me it is Avalon and all the mythological connnotations that go along with it .... something out there must be real
It is where my wife is able to spend obscene amounts of money on perfume, lipstick, soap and ... wait a minute... No, that's Avon. Sorry, my bad.
Seriously, I place Avalon on the same par as Valhalla or, dare I say it, Middle-Earth. It is existent only in reference to the mythological cycle which supports it.

I believe its a place where Gaia and the sprits can live peacefully. a place where King Aurther waits and where everything is beautiful and lively. A place I wish I could live.

Some men are drawn to oceans, they cannot breathe unless the air is scented with a salty mist. Others are drawn to land that is flat, and the air is sullen and is leaden as August. My people were drawn to mountains- Earl Hamner Jr.
