Book excerpt: Have you heard the one about the ticket-less punter who was so desperate to get into the Glastonbury Festival that he hired a small plane and parachuted into the site? And what about the guy who dropped his false leg into the stinky depths of a Glastonbury toilet? The Glastonbury Festival is steeped in myths and legends and author Marc Leverton has collected together the pick of them. Every entry is accompanied by a photograph capturing the moment. Marc Leverton is a seasoned Glastonbury Festival goer and is the author of Banksy Myths & Legends which sold well in the UK and the USA. In the course of his research he has uncovered a wealth of Glastonbury rumours and myths. Or are they? Some of the stories are undoubtedly true, some of the recollections are decidedly hazy but many of the most unlikely tales are true stories. Surely it can't be the case that in a hot year a tanker usually used to suck waste out of the toilets was filled with water and sent out to damp down the dusty roads. But the wrong tanker was dispatched and instead of spraying water - Myth or legend? you decide.

Book excerpt: “[A] tour de force through an incredible array of myth, history and philosophy . . . that have shaped the teachings of the world’s Great Masters.” —Jim Marrs, author of the New York Times bestseller, Rule by Secrecy A breathtaking work of staggering research and synthesis that provides startling new information and context to the first thirty years of Jesus’ life Where was Jesus for the first thirty years of his life? Where and what was he taught? Who were his teachers? Based on new information culled from hard to find Vatican texts, theosophical classics, ancient texts, legends, and systems of hermetic symbolism, Tricia McCannon constructs a radical new timeline of Jesus’ life. She assert Jesus spent at least seven years of study and training in Egypt, a number of years in England, and visited both India and Tibet before beginning his public ministry in Palestine. This is a wide-ranging examination of the direct links and similarities between Jesus’ teachings and those of various Mystery religions and sects that were popular during his lifetime, including the Essenes, Buddhist, Mithrans, Zoroastrians, and Druids. McCannon offers compelling evidence that places Jesus’s life and mission firmly in the context of the profound spiritual teachings that came before him. Drawing on records from the Vatican, Tibet, India, and Egypt, along with Greek, Aramaic, and Pali text, as well as oral traditions of Jesus’s teachings, McCannon uncovers the real reason that he has remained such a powerful and pivotal figure in world consciousness for over two millennia. “Thoroughly researched, interesting, and highly readable. . . . Tricia McCannon has done modern readers a great service by compiling this very readable book about Jesus’s life and teachings.” —Chet B. Snow, Ph.D., author of Mass Dreams of the Future

Book Synopsis Glastonbury and the Myths of Avalon by : Yuri Leitch
Download or read book Glastonbury and the Myths of Avalon written by Yuri Leitch and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shines a much needed light upon the medieval intrigues of Glastonbury Abbey and its invention of the popular legends of King Arthur's grave and the visit of Joseph of Arimathea; but this book is much more than that. Behind the Arthurian romances of the 12th and 13th centuries are the very real historical activities of the House of Blois and the Angevin Empire. Glastonbury Abbey was intrinsically involved with the development of the Grail mysteries and the suppression of Celtic pagan mysticism. This informative book also explores and reveals many of the esoteric ideas behind the Arthurian Mysteries and medieval occultism in general. From the back cover: 'This is not a book about the historical Arthur. This is a book about the history of Arthurian Romance and its very real significance to Glastonbury during medieval times. The Arthur of Glastonbury is a myth created by the Benedictine Order of Glastonbury Abbey; motivated by the many fascinating intrigues of their day; this is their story. Richard the Lionheart, Excalibur, King Arthur's Grave, Avalon, and the Holy Grail...'
