Fw: Ancient Origins Premium Preview (May 15)
News Articles Shop Account The Enduring Legacy of Merlin: Shaman, Warrior, Wild Man, Magician, Prophet Imagine the scene. Merlin, however you see him¡ªas a grey-bearded but ageless man, or youth with more knowledge in his eyes that he should have¡ªsits in a room somewhere in Wales. He is speaking to a second man, a cleric or possibly a monk, who writes as fast as he can, with a sharpened quill on parchment, by the light of a rush lamp or wavering candle, the words of the great prophet. Almost in what we now would call stream-of-consciousness Merlin, perhaps with eyes closed, watches events unfold on the screen of his eyelids, unfolds the things only he can see: the coming of the Great Dragon, the Antichrist; the crowning of Arthur, the greatest king of the western world; the fall of kingdoms, the loss of crowns. All this and more. And in between these prophetic utterances, fragments of stories from the vast panoply of Arthurian romance, some familiar¡ªthe quest for the Grail, the adventures of Lancelot and Percival¡ªothers never heard before: the dream of Guinevere and the bringing of letters to King Arthur from the mighty Prester John, whose fabled Kingdom in the Far East became a beacon of hope for the beleaguered West in this long-ago time. According to the Medieval French Story of Merlin, the last person to hear the voice of the great magician was the great knight Sir Gawain. He was himself, at the time, in some difficulty, having been turned into a dwarf. But having recovered from this adventure he carried home to Arthur the last words of the mage: 'Never shall no man speak with me after you, therefore it is for nothing that any man should try to seek me out.' But this last call, the 'Cri de Merlin' as it is called, still echoes in our ears, just as the figure of Merlin himself continues to exert a profound fascination on the Western world. Dozens of books, plays, and films have appeared in recent years, which have kept the focus of attention on this remarkable being, who combines the roles of wise man, seer, prophet, and shaman and whose story is one of the great native epics of Britain. Volumes of prophecies, attributed to Merlin, have appeared over the centuries since this story was written down¡ªhis cry taking this form so that all could hear it. That this Merlin is a British or at least Celtic figure is important. While the Arthurian legends of which he is such an important part betray the extensive influence of French and Germanic story-tellers, the story of Merlin, in its purest form, draws entirely upon native British traditions and beliefs. Despite efforts to trace his origins back to Atlantis, he remains essentially a Celtic figure, whose characteristics are traceable to specific themes within Celtic tradition. Continue reading...

Fw: Astronomy Picture of the Day (5/15/2025): A Plutonian Landscape
Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 May 15 A Plutonian Landscape Image Credit: NASA, Johns Hopkins Univ./APL, Southwest Research Institute Explanation: This shadowy landscape of majestic mountains and icy plains stretches toward the horizon on a small, distant world. It was captured from a range of about 18,000 kilometers when New Horizons looked back toward Pluto, 15 minutes after the spacecraft's closest approach on July 14, 2015. The dramatic, low-angle, near-twilight scene follows rugged mountains formally known as Norgay Montes from foreground left, and Hillary Montes along the horizon, giving way to smooth Sputnik Planum at right. Layers of Pluto's tenuous atmosphere are also revealed in the backlit view. With a strangely familiar appearance, the frigid terrain likely includes ices of nitrogen and carbon monoxide with water-ice mountains rising up to 3,500 meters (11,000 feet). That's comparable in height to the majestic mountains of planet Earth. The Plutonian landscape is 380 kilometers (230 miles) across.
