For episode 91 we are joined by patron Jessica Mitchell who will recount for us her amazing encounter with a \\u2018dark man\\u2019 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.

\\n

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

\\n

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 \\u201cGwyn, son of Nudd\\u201d. 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.
