"Early poems about #Merlin portray him as #environmentalist, say scholars

Re-examination of #Welsh poems dating back to 10th century show #Myrddin as prophet concerned by human interactions with #Nature

by Steven Morris

"He is probably most often thought of today as a wizard, a shape-shifter or a mentor to the young King Arthur.

"But a detailed re-examination of Myrddin – Merlin – by Welsh scholars suggests he can also be considered an early British environmentalist deeply worried about human interaction with the natural world.

"Over the past three years academics from three Welsh universities have edited and translated more than 100 poems, all in Cymraeg (Welsh), about Merlin dating back as far as the 10th century.

"David Callander, who is based at Cardiff University’s school of Welsh, said some of the conclusions of the Myrddin Poetry Project challenged the modern view of the figure."

After 2 years off, I'm back to scanning slides taken by my grandfather. Today I found some pictures of fellow Ohio Bell phone company man, Don Tanner.

Turns out, Don was an important guy in the world of professional magicians. He edited several trade publications and even wrote some books!

Don passed away at 57, but his memory lives on at Magicpedia where there's now a face to go with his name. geniimagazine.com/wiki/index.p
