Yuri Leitch
Biography
Yuri Leitch has been a Glastonbury-based artist for the best part of twenty years (2001-2019). Yuri is now a nomadic artist; mostly sharing his time between Cornwall, Glastonbury, and the Channel Islands of Jersey, and Guernsey. He has written a number of books about Glastonbury and its esoteric history – from the Celtic Iron Age through to Dark Age Britain; the medieval Arthurian intrigues of Avalon and the Holy Grail; to the occult intrigues of the 19th and 20th centuries. He is particularly focused upon the return of the divine feminine in the original expressions of the many goddesses of the Brythonic Celts – including Nemetona, Elen, Rosmerta, and Brigid.

Programme
Well Maidens and Flower Maidens
A presentation about the Fae-Maiden lore of the Celtic and Arthurian traditions – invoking, honouring, and working with the spirits of the land, to restore the ‘wasteland’ (externally and internally). An esoteric look into the call of the Muse, one’s heart’s desire, which leads to the restoration of one’s inner landscape by establishing connection with the Anima Mundi, ‘soul of the world’, within the heart (Holy Grail) of one’s being.
