Hello! :-)
Please forgive the presumptuous name - I'm not far into my study of the
legends
of Arthur, but I am a -big- fan of Merlin. My real name's Bill if you'd
rather
refer to me as that - I won't mind - but I -do- like this screen name.
:-)
Anyway, mulling over the various myths of the world as I often do, I was
beginning to wonder if there isn't some sort of symbolic connection
between the
figures of Merlin/Arthur and the Christian figures Antichrist\Beast. I
can't
really explain how I came to connect the two in my head, it wasn't a
rational
process and that I freely admit, but the connections were made over a
rather
extended period of time.
So, since it never hurts to ask, I thought I would. :-) I don't really
take
the notion -too- seriously, so don't be afraid to tell me it's a load of
impossible malarky - I won't be offended. It's just a sort of "what if?"
curiosity which prompts me to post my query here.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies. :-)
