For those with an inner drive to touch genuine Druidism-or who feel that the lore of King Arthur touches them personally- The 21 Lessons of Merlyn will come as an engrossing adventure & psychological journey into history & magic. This is a complete introductory course in Celtic Druidism, packaged within the framework of 21 authentic & expanded folk story/ lessons that read like a novel. These lessons, set in late Celtic Britain ca A.D. 500, depict the training & initiation of the real King Arthur at the hands of the real Merlyn-the-Druid: one of the last great champions of Paganism within the dawning age of Christianity. As you follow the boy Arthur's apprenticeship from his first encounter with Merlyn in the woods, you can study your own program of Druid apprentiship with the detailed practical ritual applications that follow each story. The 21 folk tales were collected by the author in Britain & Wales during a ten-year period; the Druidic teachings are based on the actual, never-before-published 16th-century manuscript entitled The Book of Pheryllt.
