Cynicism is easy.
But the confusion of evidence, theories, speculations, visions and lies shouldn't blind you to the power of this place. If Glastonbury Tor is nothing else, it is the Earth standing up and demanding attention, rising enigmatically above our petty human pursuits and encouraging us to look upwards. If there never was an Arthur, if the Holy Thorn were brought here in a glob of birdshit, if there never were any gods, spirits, witches or secret messages from the cosmos - then this would still be a holy place.
