How many of you are familiar with the Avalon Cult?

Looks like a copy and paste job to me.

I looked up the relevance of the name Avalon when I first came here, and before I got bored out of my mind I stumbled across "the avalon project at yale university - documents in Law, History and Diplomacy".....

Yale is where skull and bones started as we all know....

I just thought it was an interesting parallel.

I've used the documents through the Avalon Project via the Yale servers. It was pretty cool - most of the major documents of our history were digitized for all to see. I used it to read a lot of Indian treaties. Anyway, somebody threw a fit about something, sued the departments that sponsered it (law, history, and some others, and now it is shut down.

So much for the all powerful "Skull and Bones"!

Hi, karen:

The idea for project camelot came when we were visiting tintagel in cornwall in april 2006 (the fabled ancient site of king arthur’s camelot), very soon after we’d met.

Warmest wishes, bill

goody, hi,


Your breakdown response above is quite reasonable in my opinion except for your section 9 response which really fails, badly, to have any grasp at all of the point.

Try having another think about it.

fair enough. all of what i know about the new age movement was based upon the beleifs of the people in know who claim to be a part of it. they feel it's more about spiruality then reilgion. there is a big difference between the two. but i'll admit, my assumption could be waaay off. like i said, i've never actually done a google search about it

Oldschool thread, interesting read.

Well I got what you were saying Prof, I know it may be hard but I did get ya.

Avalon (probably from the Welsh word afal, meaning apple; see Etymology below) is a legendary island featured in the Arthurian legend, famous for its beautiful apples. It first appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's 1136 pseudohistorical account Historia Regum Britanniae ("The History of the Kings of Britain") as the place where King Arthur's sword Caliburn (Excalibur) was forged and later where Arthur is taken to recover from his wounds after the Battle of Camlann. As an "Isle of the Blessed" Avalon has parallels elsewhere in Indo-European mythology, in particular the Irish Tír na nÓg and the Greek Hesperides, also noted for its apples. Avalon was associated from an early date with immortal beings such as Morgan le Fay.

So there is a bunch of people that like the same name... the name is not copyrightable

Love to all
