A few nights ago I was watching an interesting program on oracles. It concerned the year 2012 and all of the hoopla surrounding it. Merlin was featured and there was mention of a specific Merlin but the program mentioned that there were believed to be more than one or the possibility existed that there was more than one Merlin. The program stated that it was possible that "Merlin" could have been a title and not the actual name of the person with the title. I'm curious to know if there was only one Merlin..one person NAMED Merlin or were there others that had Merlin attached to their names as a title. Or were there more people named Merlin? Of course, I only know of the Merlin of Arthurian Legend...if he was real, was Merlin his name or his title? If there were more Merlins...is there any possibility that one soul walked the earth as all of them? :think: If Merlin was real and only one entity...is he the Merlin of Arthurian legend and was he human or was he something else? :wtf: Was he a Wizard? (what is a wizard exactly? :lol: ) a Mage? a Sorcerer? Are all of these titles one in the same? :daze:

Kind of an odd line of questioning but I'd love to hear people's thoughts and/or experiences regarding/with "Merlin" I'm fascinated by the idea of him!

Thank-you! Thank-you! :thankyou:

From our work with Merlin, whose fame rose in Arthurian legend, he is an Immortal who appeared in mortal form and likely continues to appear in mortal form. He is a wizard in the terms of being extremely powerful in magic. I think, perhaps, others who came after Merlin in his most recognized form may have taken on the title "Merlin" as a way of self-acknowledging their accomplishments.

Ahhh. This makes sense Magnolia. Thank-you for clarifying. This makes me wonder about other Immortals who came to us in mortal form.... :think: I suppose one could go back through history and pick them out fairly easily! They must stick out a wee bit...like Merlin.

I always loved how Stevie Nicks talks about Merlin.
She has a necklace.
