It's basically just a town full of tarot shops and bookshops and candle shops and apothecaries and massage parlors and a goddess house.

If you go pre-Celtic, you're actually into the matriarchy.
Ayn Cates SullivanGUEST
8:03
So if you're going back 5,000 years BC, or we're going into the Torian Age, that's a matriarchal society.
Ayn Cates SullivanGUEST
8:09
Astrologically, Hera was the head of this matriarchal lineage, the great goddess, who fell in love with Zeus, and they had a 300-year honeymoon, and then the age of Ares rolls in, and the age of patriarchy comes in.
Ayn Cates SullivanGUEST

Clutching onto him, flanked by high clay banks and overhanging hedges, she had known that he wanted more from her than to show her the view, though quite what remained a mystery.
Martin VauxHOST
48:51
Up on those panoramic, windswept heights, he pointed to show her the vast patchwork of Somerset's fields, stretching all the way to Glastonbury Tor, a stark checkerboard of wheat stubble, dark-turned earth and thinly wavering flax.
Martin VauxHOST
49:10
the folding ancient Dorset downlands, Parrock Hill, Cadbury Castle Fort, the silver glint of a newly built Westland whirlwind on a test flight.
Martin VauxHOST
49:24
High above them, the pale, intersecting white lines of vapour trails criss-crossed the blue, heading south towards the English Channel.
Kubi MayHOST

So that's, he's considered to be sort of the keeper of the underworld or the keeper of the dead.
Kubi MayHOST
32:38
And he, there's a little medieval statue folkloric thing about him somewhere where it says that he comes out of, from beneath Glastonbury Tor on Samhain to gather up the dead and brings it back, brings it back to the underneath.
Kubi MayHOST
32:54
