hello ken,
i am a teenager. the mists of avalon i one of my favorite movies and in my opinion the book is a masterpiece! it is based on a story. it is wrong to judge the movie on a pornographic scale. i consider myself pagan,and i would NEVER dream of sleeping with anyone related to me. you cannot judge another religion just because you don't like it.
