Isn’t it possible that the narrow strips being farmed were used by peasants who had no land rights in the good areas? That that was all that was available?

If you trace back the history of Wicca/The Cult/Witchcraft you'll see that it is very rooted in conservatism. It was never about making it a cool trendy thing. Witchcraft became a total mess nowadays. I completely agree with what you have said and written here.

Myths and legends are like a broken telephone line - little bits of information are passed down through time and each person adds or takes away their bit depending on their interpretation! Arthur and Merlin are synonymous as being together - the legend says Merlin built Stonehenge and Arthur was from the fifth century? 2,500 years apart?

Thank you Roland. I have walked this path twice and the first thing that struck me was the 'how did this come to be here?' I saw the cobbles in places and guessed at the Roman connection. It is really amazing what is around still if you have the inquisitive mind and open your eyes. Looking forward to seeing the one about the rifle range, Strutt militia I believe.

The science, research, unravelling myths and legends, along with written texts were interesting points. But it definitely makes sense with the ploughed levels on The Tor. Wonderfully presented. I have been there so many times. Love Glastonbury with its mysticism, culture and history. A magical place. Unable to explain its vibe. Somerset is beautiful, despite the deluge of rain. That's why it's so green, with its numerous wildlife reserves, temperate rainforests, rock formations, and meandering rivers and Mendip Hills. ❤

@@harrydebastardeharris987 'the Levels' is a new term for the Somerset Moors (like Godney Moor, Sedgemoor, & so on) coined after the Huntspill Level was driven both to aid drainage & provide the capacious amounts of water required by the WW2 RDX plant established over the hill from it). PS local knowledge had it that the Dutch were instrumental in much of the drainage & the dividing waterways are known as Rhines, not ditches!

I live quite locally,so have been many times. Although I won't go any more. Far too many people at all hours of the day and night &they're not nice visitors either. Leaving their cars wherever they want, even in disabled bays &private residential. Please be considerate when you visit tiny, rural places.🕊️But my favourite visit was a winter morning some years ago & there were only a couple of other people, but I counted eleven rainbows around me on all sides. Several of them were double rainbows. It was really beautiful, rainbows in every direction ❤️

@@Lost_Histories As you can only see a single rainbow at once directly opposite the sun as the light is reflected and refracted in water droplets, this must have been quite a mysterious experience. If such supernatural effects were to be observed, Glastonbury would have to be the place. I hadn't been for some years but visited this summer, it was very crowded as most tourist spots are these days (it's no good moaning if you're a visitor yourself) . Still very impressive and enjoyable.
