The spirituality of ''Avalon'' is a spiritual concept postulated in Marion Zimmer Bradley's novel ''The Mists of Avalon'' and other novels of the so-called ''Avalon'' series. Albeit a product of fantasy fiction, set in a fictitious British past (partly on the titular Isle of Avalon), this spiritual path draws on modern paganism, such as Wicca, druidry and what is generally known as Goddess worship or Goddess spirituality/religion.〔Hildebrand, Kristina. ''The Female Reader at the Round Table''. Uppsala: 2001.〕〔Morgane, J.S. ''The Spirituality of Avalon''. AVM: Germany, 2010.〕 Religious aspects of the ''Avalon'' series are discussed in ''The Spirituality of Avalon: The Religion of the Great Goddess in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Avalon Cycle'' (2010) by J.S. Morgane, a book-length study of "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."〔 ==See also== *Goddess movement *Celtic Neopaganism *Witch-cult hypothesis *Triple Goddess (Neopaganism) *Horned God 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spirituality of Avalon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
