I had no idea what to expect when I first began reading this book. Was it going to be a New Age look at spirituality or a re-telling of the old Celtic legends surrounding this wonderfully diverse character. I was in fact pleasantly surprised and within just two days had finished the book wanting to know more, but also with a feeling of having learned something new. This last feeling is something I don’t often get these days and I was very pleased with it!

    The book begins by setting the scene of Glastonbury, with all its myriad mysteries and myths, not least of which are the Grail and Arthurian legends and the supposed visit of Joseph of Arimathea. Quickly Yuri covered these topics and honestly dealt with the facts rather than increase the mysteries
further.

    We moved on then into those beautiful Celtic tales that> have so often given rise to later Christianised and altered stories of Saints Gwyn is more than just a fascinating character that has been misused by modern storytellers, he is in fact a key to unlocking our sacred past and the lives of our ancestors.
    Politically astute, eruditely written and enjoyable to the end, Gwyn: Ancient God of Glastonbury and the Key to the Glastonbury Zodiac is a must for anybody intrigued by our history. I highly recommend it.
