Merlin is associated with Glastonbury in a number of ways and if you have ever wanted to experience this unbelievable magical energy, find out more:
Glastonbury Tor: Merlin is said to have lived in a cave on Glastonbury Tor, a hilltop with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It is said to be a place of great spiritual energy, and many people believe that Merlin's spirit still resides there.
Chalice Well: Merlin is also associated with Chalice Well, a sacred spring said to have healing properties. The spring is located near Glastonbury Tor, and it is said that Merlin used its waters to heal the sick and injured.
Glastonbury Abbey ruins: Merlin is also associated with Glastonbury Abbey, a medieval abbey that was once one of the most important pilgrimage sites in England. Merlin is said to have been buried in the abbey grounds, and his tomb is said to be located under the abbey ruins.
In addition to these specific associations, Glastonbury is also seen as a place of great magical energy, and Merlin is often seen as the guardian of this energy. Many people believe that Merlin still influences the spiritual landscape of Glastonbury, and that his presence can be felt by those who visit the town.
From Oriah~ Merlin is an interdimensional being who has channeled massive amounts of wisdom and magic to countless artists, channelers and beings throughout the Earth's history, Riz has channeled and still channels Merlin regularly. He was the first guide who came through Riz when I met Riz and went to my first Circle of Light in 2009. I am so grateful for this incredibly beautiful and wonderful being who has helped me through so many trying times in my life.
Merlin (Welsh: Myrddin, Cornish: Marzhin, Breton: Merzhin) is a mythical figure prominently featured in the legend of King Arthur and best known as a mage, with several other main roles.The familiar depiction of Merlin, based on an amalgamation of historic and legendary figures, was introduced by the 12th-century British pseudo-historical author Geoffrey of Monmouth and then built on by the French poet Robert de Boron and their prosaic successors in the 13th century.
Some say: The real Merlin, Myrddin Wyllt, was born in about 540 and had a twin sister called Gwendydd. He served as a bard to Gwenddoleu ap Ceidio, a Brythonic or British king who ruled Arfderydd, a kingdom including parts of what are now Scotland and England in the area around Carlisle.
