#91 / Jessica Mitchell; I saw the Dark Man on Glastonbury Tor

For episode 91 we are joined by patron Jessica Mitchell who will
recount for us her amazing encounter with a ‘dark man’ on the top
of Glastonbury tor after a nighttime ascent to watch the sunrise.
It's remarkable story and one that will no doubt resonate with
many listeners. We go through what it means for the individuals
who witness such reality shattering events and Jessica describes
the impact of the event on her life and worldview.


Now a point to note which we didn't discuss in the show is the
Tor has an association with 'Gwyn ap Nudd'.


Gwyn ap Nudd is a Welsh mythological figure, the king of the
Tylwyth Teg or "fair folk" and ruler of the Welsh Otherworld,
Annwn, and whose name means “Gwyn, son of Nudd”. Described later
on as a great warrior with a "blackened face",
Gwyn is intimately associated with the otherworld in medieval
Welsh literature, and is associated with the international
tradition of the Wild Hunt.

Food for thought...
