I wonder which group Colin Penrose serves or if he represents yet another faction vying for the prize. He's in England and I can't help connecting him with the castle symbol and the word, "Avalon."

The call to Iris

The caller was a girl, and her voice sounded unnatural. She said "We are (unintelligible) out of time. The forces of Avalon and Analog are both (unintelligible) and growing desperate

As the old beliefs and ways fade away, we are the inheritors of the numinous. Soon, those who have learned what they should not, will find what price that they must pay. The servants and followers of Avalon have no power here.Like the Nine, they shall lose their way and their power

Seeing these words in my dream, I could read them as I never could before we had them painted over.

a path before me I did not choose
with every step, so much to lose
on one side lies the sacred ways
of Avalon and ancient days

Richard Whiting was the last Abbot of Glastonbury.

The Ninefold Sisterhood of the Morgens
http://www.kathyjones.co.uk/local/h-pages/kathyj/ap-inoavalon.html

These Nine Morgen sisters encompass all the qualities of the Goddess on the continua between light and darkness, sweetness and sour, positive and negative, creative and destructive. The Morgens are famous for their learning and knowledge of the seven liberal arts, particularly of astronomy, astrology, mathematics and physic. They are renowned for their healing arts and skill in herbal lore, for their beautiful music and sensuality, for prophecy and the ability to shapeshift, to appear in different places in a moment in time.

In legend they are nine women, three triple goddesses ranging in age from maiden to mother to crone. They are nine dark cloaked figures who sit in circle with the cauldron of inspiration, immortality and rebirth, in a cave deep beneath Glastonbury Tor in the Underworld of Annwn.
(Remember the CTW logo with what we thought to be a Triple Godess)

When the legendary King Arthur was dying of his fatal wounds from the battle of Camlan, he was taken to the shores of the waters surrounding the Isle of Avalon.

In her role as Midwife of Souls Morgen Ia Fey helps those who are dying to cross over to the Other Side of life. Also present was Nimue, chief Lady of the Lake.

In my experience of living in this magical place for nearly a quarter of a century the relationship between Glastonbury and Avalon is that of two worlds separated by a shimmering veil. Where the town is the outer world where we all live and work and express our humanity, Avalon is the inner world where the goddess lives and our souls find their freedom. The two worlds of Glastonbury and Avalon are separated only by a veil of perspective, how we look at things

Sometimes like fog the etheric Veil of Avalon is dense and impenetrable and at other times it thins and we can catch glimpses of another reality, which is the beautiful Avalon. This thinning of the veil seems to occur in a rhythmical pattern at particular seasons of the year, around the eight cross quarter and quarter days, and at the new and full moons. Then it is easier to pass into Avalon and to return safely.

The thinning of the veil is also personal. It concerns our individual spiritual unfoldment. It occurs naturally as we begin to open our consciousness to the existence and reality of the invisible worlds. We begin to see and feel what was formerly hidden from our eyes. We glimpse the shimmering etheric threads which connect everything and hold all life in form. As we walk upon Glastonbury's soft hillsides we catch glimpses of beings and objects which are not physically present.

We may see structures from another age, standing stones, mounds, goddess temples, groves, the ancient abbey in all its glory, the monastery on the Tor, as well as visions of buildings of the future. The beings we see may emerge with indistinct forms, or as heightened colours or heavenly scents, or in more familiar shapes. We can see fairies, dwarfs, elementals, devas, Otherworldly creatures, humans, goddesses and gods. If we are lucky these beings may accompany us on our pilgrimages, whispering words of wisdom into our ears, answering our questions, guiding us into a new reality.

The veil that separates is both an outer and an inner reality. It is the misty Veil of Avalon which we cannot see or walk through without permission and an open heart. It is also the inner etheric veil that separates our material reality from the invisible worlds of intuition, soul and spirit. As awareness develops and consciousness expands these inner veils also thin allowing the subtle energies of the heart and mind to penetrate our everyday awareness.

Granted this material is subjective....but an interesting take on things nonetheless.
