My top 30 hot men of the year:

“And here is the key to the mystery, because Gwenevere’s name means ‘White Shadow’. The element ‘wen’ or ‘gwen’ means ‘white’, ‘dazzling’, ‘holy’, and can be found in many early Welsh names. The same element is found in Irish Gaelic, where finn or fionn means ‘white’, ‘fair’. It is a name frequently given to Faery beings for the simple reason that they can appear to us as dazzling white, shining and fair.”

“In the precursor to this present study, Red Tree, White Tree, I have explored in depth the very real likelihood that Gwenevere is a Faery being, not a human being. When all the evidence for this is brought together and looked at carefully, there can be very little doubt that this is so. When we realise that she is a Faery amongst humans, a Faery being living in a human world, we are able to look at the legends from a completely different viewpoint, where rather than perceiving her only as an undistinguished human being we can discover a great deal of positive meaning in her presence as a representative of the Faery race within the court of the Round Table and as a partner to the human King Arthur.”
