The Lost
Books of Merlyn :
Druid Magic from the Age of
Arthur
by
Douglas Monroe (Editor)
|
Reviews
Amazon.com
Part adventure tale and part grimoire,
The Lost Books of Merlyn
remains true to the Druids'
method of wrapping important
knowledge in a story. Monroe's
tale of the British Celts, their
conflict with the Romans, and the
last days of King Arthur,
recounts the demise of the Druids
but reveals the hope of their
resurrection today. Coupled with
an abundance of spells, charms,
and sacred rites, this is more
than just a well-written fantasy,
more than just a well-stocked
spell book. The Lost Books of
Merlyn is both teacher and
course. Whether you read it as a
work of fiction or dig for a
deeper meaning, you will hear a
voice in these pages speaking to
you as Merlyn speaks to the
author: "Now, at last, it is
your turn to understand what has
already been lived, and what may
come of it." --Brian
Patterson Synopsis
A guide to initiation and
apprenticeship, "The Lost
Books of Merlyn" explains
the magical elements in each of
the stories and provides
instructions on how to reenact
the lessons and replace the
rituals.

Reviews
From
Booklist , December 1, 1994
This well-packaged new book on
the Celts puts substantive
academic research into popular
terms. King's focus is on the
wheel of the Celtic year with its
cycle of four celebrations: the
fire feast of Lughnasa; the
still-celebrated festival of the
dead, Sarnhain (Halloween); the
feast of the herds at Imbolc; and
the wild abandon of Beltane, with
its maypoles. Corollary to those
festivals are the equinoxes and
solstices, observed by the Celts
in less ritualized fashion but
important to them as markers in
the agricultural year. Besides
the annual cycle, King describes
the religious underpinnings of
the festivals, the functions of
the druid priests and bards,
relationships to other
mythologies, and the influence of
historical assimilation and
migration on what we know of
Celtic myth. A good resource,
well written and well researched.

Celtic
Tree Mysteries :
Secrets of the Ogham

Reviews
Occult
and Metaphysics Editor's
Recommended Book
Steve Blamires constructs for his
readers a base camp in the
history and use of the ogham
before launching an expedition
toward complete understanding of
the physical, mental, and
spiritual aspects of the ogham
and the trees they represent.
Quite a quest, but Blamires
succeeds. Where other popular
forms of magic can be slanted
toward development of only one
aspect, Blamires's study of the
threefold nature of the ogham
insures that the body of
practical magical knowledge
gathered on this journey will be
useful in all levels of
existence. Synopsis
Trees are living aspects of the
Green World and so is the magic
associated with them, handed down
since the days of the ancient
Irish druids. With this practical
system of magical ritual and
divination, you can journey to
the Otherworld through the
powerful energy of tree spirits;
create your own set of Ogham
sticks for divination and magic
working; establish a closer link
with the Green World that
surrounds and feeds you; and much
more.
