There are many mysteries at Glastonbury, but they are all rooted in one great mystery: how is it that this small place, isolated among the Somerset marshes, plays such a leading part in the spiritual history of Britain? Here the ever-living Mystery is given historical context. Its themes and characters King Arthur, St Joseph of Arimathea, the Grail Quest, the Zodiacal Twelve, the Enchantments of Britain, the Ritual of the Chalice and the Prophecy of Restoration are traced from their beginnings, against the background of religious and social changes from prehistoric to modern times. As veils are removed, the traditions of Glastonbury are seen in a new light, as symbols of an ancient magical rite for the invocation of paradise on earth.
