melbellelove:Mythological Places - Avalon (Ynys Avallach, the Isle of the Apples)The Isle of Avalon is the home of the Lady of the Lake and a paradise of earthly pleasures. It exists outside of the mortal world but is accessible from it. It is a gateway to the Otherworld, a land of the mythical and mystical. On this island of apple trees, food-producing plants are so abundant that no one ever needs to farm the land. After his deadly confrontation with Mordred, King Arthur was taken to Avalon to heal. It is here where he waits to be roused from his slumber to once again assist Britain in its hour of need. -- source link
