Glastonbury Tor

Glastonbury Tor, or simply the Tor, is a tall hill located in southern England. It overshadowed the misty lake that was once home to the isle of Avalon.

History

By the 9th century, the high priestesses of the Women of the Mist that ran the island of Avalon used the very top of the Tor to make prayers and offerings to their gods amidst the white fog that covered the summit. To reach it, they used a sacred path laden with white stones.

The witch-warrior Niamh of Argyll often visited the Lady atop the Tor, including on one occasion when she asked for guidance in her quest to infiltrate the Hidden Ones to ascertain their goals, and when returning from her successful mission to recover Excalibur.
