Merlin --> History or Legend

That Collard person,

two things: _ collard is also known as colewart, a cabbage green vegetable

I can not be certain, as I have no green light but Collard could relate to Crowley, Aleister Crowley of the Golden Dawn, which would certainly tie in with things, or

_ can be sort of a cryptic crossword solution to Aleister Crowley's real name, Edward Alexander Crowley.

Also, the seer of the Enochian Angel Script, if I'm right in my haphazard and unthorough research, was Edward Kelley (or Kelly), possibly also connected to the word Collard, seeings though that Collard is also known as Kale, which then cryptically ties into the name Edward Kelley.

Problem is my date was roughly 1840s but Kelley was in the 1500s and Crowley wasn't born till 1870s or something.

Also, Orcem Nezzer, though the broad feeling is Turkish, I get the direction that it is more Armenian, for correctness

Interesting topic Spirit-Being. There was a group of people that practiced a nature religion that was before the Druids. These folks were healers and powerful so called wizards and they worshiped The Mother, which we now call Mother Nature. Today's legend calls these folks the Fae. Both the Druids and Christianity, which replaced the Druids, considered these folks demons. Because the Druids were into human and animal sacrifice and these folks were not, they helped the Christians defeat the Druids which resulted in Mother Mary being an important part of the Catholic Church and Pagans not being held libel under church law, with the understanding that originally a Pagan was considered any person that worshiped The Mother and was not into human or animal sacrifice (those that were were considered witches and warlocks and of Satan). Folks like Merlin was claimed to be, did actually exist and still do even though they are now quite rare because most have wondered off to somewhere else along with the rest of the Fae. I carry their genetics (a lot of people do) and most of my yogi training is based on their system of so called wizardry.

Anyway, Arthur's sword was real and how it was made and tempered under primitive conditions can be explained once one understands that the lake was full of heavy water that was the result of rain evaporating out of a limestone pool over hundreds of years. Because the sword was real and folks like Merlin were real, I am inclined to think that there was a real Merlin.

Of course there was/is a real Merlin!
He is strict and funny and firm and reliable.
But he don't like folk who are slow or don't try and help themselves.
The term 'doesn't suffer fools gladly' comes to mind.

Merlin has always been to me very charismatic and mystical but i do love that Merlin was known as great Wizard

I love what you wrote sunmystic it's quite interesting to know more about the histories. It seems there is much more to what we know from our histories where our beliefs and understandings seemed to come from. Everything seems to evolve cultures adapting and reinventing new ways of beliefs and insights into the great mystery of life and creation.

One thing i found exceptionally interesting is how you connect with Merlin mia, i find this fascinating and so outside the box which is my comfort zone. You seem to Inspire me to look further and experience things in a whole different way.

This is taking some thought, it reminds me of the quote "To thine own self be true" which was one i really needed to contemplate to understand it better and how it relates to me. I will give this some more thought.

In a sense Merlin prcticed hoodoo

not voodooo that is the summoning of spirit energies etc..

hoodoo is the use of herbs to conjour ...Merlin is I believe to be real and since we do not actually die of course he is still maneuvering around ..overseeing...

Merlin practiced the laws of the universe and of cause and effect.

The sword I also beleive is real as in those days of long ago the Gods interacted more with humans ..

Now we are too populated and we humans have evovlved to the greedy show me a miracle lot we have sadly become.

One thing about spiritual people... can you agree that the majority of enlightened humans have had lives full of loss and low monetary means. Struggling to survive this century and yet maintain a spiritul life at the same time. How many rich spiritualists have you ever known of other then the ones who write books they shove down peoples throats full of strictly their interpretation of how things are.Which does not make them accurate.

Books are like opinions... many of them out there. and actual truth may lie in a combination of them all.

Back in Merlins century life was hard.. yet they had in some ways a easier time of it. They had no modern conveniences we have so they communicated better.. joined together to do things.. had more family and neighbor time. This in itself would make more harmonious energy fields. They lived with nature and from nature.

We on the other hand need stimulated and toys and expect a grocery store to have the bad for us foods we like. and then we wonder why we can't get spiritually right.

Are we in the better times actually.. or were they?
