Avalon derives from a Celtic concept expressed through the Welsh word Afallen meaning apple tree : a universal, mythological theme for a sometime paradisial, inner state. Most people are familiar with the idea of Avalon as the island to which King Arthur was taken to be healed of his wounds after his last battle. But Avalon also encompasses an entire mythos in which lie many other facets of the "Matter of Britain":

P rimarily Avalon can be associated with the visionary experiences of the Welsh prophet Myrddin ( the original Merlin) in his grove of apple-trees, as recounted in the Afallenau poems in the Black Book of Carmarthen (right)

I t also came to be associated with the journeys of Arthur and Taliesin into the underworld of Annwn and the Faery women: Morgan, Guinevere, Ceridwen and Arianrhod, who together with pagan goddess/Celtic saint Brighid, embody the healing and transformative powers of Avalon
