The Spirituality of Avalon is a spiritual concept postulated in the novel The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, and other novels of the so-called Avalon series. Albeit a product of fantasy fiction, this spiritual path draws on modern paganism, such as Wicca, druidry and what is generally known as Goddess worship or Goddess spirituality/religion, and is set in a fictitious British past.[1][2]
The spirituality is discussed in J.S. Morgane's The Spirituality of Avalon. The book gives a detailed view of the religious aspects of the Avalon series and analyses "the religion of the Great Mother as portrayed in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Avalon books. By looking at the literary and archaeological background of the ancient, Neolithic, Celtic, Roman and Arthurian traditions the novels are set in, a close reading of the texts gives the reader the possibility to engage with the concept of the Goddess within the religion created in the Avalon cycle."
