The Faery Gates of Avalon

Book by Gareth Knight

The knights of King Arthur's Round Table - Erec, Lancelot,
Yvain, Perceval and Gawain - first appeared in the works of
Chrétien de Troyes, who cast into Old French stories told by
Welsh and Breton story tellers which had their origin in Celtic
myth and legend.

Chrétien wrote at a time when faery lore was still taken seriously
– some leading families even claimed descent from faery
ancestors! So we do well to look again at these early stories,
for they were written not so much in terms of mystical quests
or examples of military chivalry but records of initiation into
Otherworld dynamics. And those who initiated the knightly
heroes were faery women, in the role of guides, guardians and
lovers. In this respect a study of the ladies of Arthurian legend
can prove to be more instructive than the adventures of the knights whom they lured onto quests.

Gareth Knight, an acknowledged expert on spiritual and magical traditions and a student of medieval French, goes to the well spring of Arthurian tradition to unveil these original principles. What is more, he shows how they can be regenerated today. “Opening the faery gates” can have its reward not only in terms of personal satisfaction and spiritual growth but as part of a much needed realignment of our spiritual responsibilities as human beings on planet Earth.
