There is a very ancient legacy, one which successfully evades all modern "rationality". This is often expressed through the lense of death, and the mythology of the tomb.
There is a very real congress between the dead and the living, a mystery that remains immune to standard explanation.
I am gladdened that Merlin is remembered in such company.
Hope thís goes through! Merlin, I only hope it would be possible for him to have a session with us! So shapes shifting, what vampires do, is interesting, perhaps it can occur. Avalon, likely in Brittany as you say but isn't it also thought to be near Glastonbury. The Isle of Apples isn't that where King Arthur is buried Or perhaps it is West of Ireland. The two snaked cadusa I had not heard of before. I now realise Tuiltiu raided Lugh but was not his mother. The cadusa, the rwo entwined serpents are very evocative. An interesting account of the old castle @ the end of Cornwall even if 13ú century! The alchemical 5ú element the Monad is new to me and as I've said there was a lot that was meritorious about them, their work was not all wrong. Now perhaps you were near the Lizard Head in Cornwell which is made of serpentine, Conmara marble one of my favourite stones
Amazing, so much interwoven mythology, such a rich blog, am going to read it many times to digest all that your wonderful research has unearthed, thanks Siofra 😊 😀
Wonderful piece, Siofra. 🙏

It all may be a moveable feast, a place we need to strive to find. Making things easy is the downfall of things.
