The distances between the locations and the dimension of this symbol has been faithfully duplicated at other locations in Southern Britain, consciously created and designed to personify a harmonious fusion between temple proportion, the Earth’s circumference and ancient units of measure.

"This is a well researched book which adds to our perception and understanding of the peoples who inhabited our lands millennia ago and I would commend it to the reader". David Furlong

Several different metaphors have been proposed in trying to understand our present 'pathological alienation' between human consciousness and the rest of the biosphere, the most common one being a collective amnesia, that our species has forgotten something which was commonplace to our ancestors. They‘ practised certain attitudes and kinds of perception’ with ‘ an ability to empathise and identify with non-human life, respect for the mysterious, and humility in relationship to the infinite complexities of the natural world. Thus, for a complex variety of social and historical causes, a core feature of the European psyche is a dissociative split between spirit and nature ' (Metzner, 1993). Metzner concludes that the ‘great mother goddess of ancient times has become the dead matter of modern materialism.’

'Gwyn' is the culmination of six years of contemplation, historical research and investigation into the sacred landscape of Somerset's unique landmark, Glastonbury Tor.

The book takes the reader back to the beginning of the 1st century - to the tribal society of the Native Britons specific to this area; the tribe that are known to us as the Durotriges. We glimpse their spiritual world by looking at The Children of Don; the Durotriges' pantheon of gods, goddesses and specifically Gwyn ap Nudd, the ancient god of Glastonbury. By doing this, we begin to understand Ynys Witrin as their most sacred ground. Gwyn also accounts for the first Christian missionaries of the 5th century who made very deliberate attempts to banish the old god from Glastonbury Tor.

By taking the reader step by step through medieval Welsh literature, Yuri Leitch explains how Gwyn has an intimate link with many of Glastonbury's unusual characteristics. The Tor's; it's placement on the St. Michael Line alignment, with the Mid Winter sun-roll up the Tor, and most curiously, with the landscape enigma of the Glastonbury Zodiac.

This book shows the web of marriages and alliances and the detailed planning that went into the final push that culminated at the Battle of Hastings. It shows how the Davidic line of Jesus was protected by the Odonic Kings of England and Dukes of Normandy.
In the appendices the author traces and explains who William the Conqueror's real ancestors were and shows detailed genealogies.
