      Merlin was born on May 1st, 449 a.d. His first name, Merlin means the one with great
      knowledge. The Welsh version of Merlin is: Myrrdin, which means ‘the laughing one’. His last
      name was Emrys (Welsh), which means Ambrosia/Ambrosius, so he was also called
      Merlin/Myrddin Ambrosius
      Merlin’s mother was a daughter of the King Of the Demetier region.
      Merlin's father, King Morvyrn, was a visionary, and these visionary capabilities led to Merlin
      being referred to as a "scion of the devil," a magician, a sorcerer. The naïveté and simplicity of
      the Christian interpretation held that Merlin and his father's paranormal abilities meant that
      they were satanical, and that father and son were allied with the devil and thus fathered by
      him.

    Thanks, Snadhghus, for posting this interesting documentary. Very good work, clearly set out, and plain to the understanding. (Oh, and in MY dream, Myrrdn spoke to I a warning most fair and foul. He said, but he said, "Woe to the People of the White Dragon in the latter days. For a creature shall come where sit many men, wise in mind, in the general meeting place, and stump them and confound them. It shall have but one eye, it shall have two ears, two feet, twelve hundred and more heads, a back and a belly (alack, but merely half a belly-baton), and two hands, some twain arms, some rounded shoulders, one great big neck (the better to twist it) and two sides. Then shall be a day of great constipation unto all foreigners in the land!"... For the life of me, I doesn't know what any of this means, but I wrote it down as soon as I woke up. Hope this helps some with the discussion of the subject.

    This is back when the History Channel produced some fairly solid edu-tainment. Sure, there is some storytelling aspects and license (Was Merlin the last Druid?!") for a good story, but still overall these were well done.
    Now, as another poster pointed out, it's hardly anything other than sheer entertainment about Pawn Shops, Aliens, 'trash pickers' and the never ending nothingburger of Oak Island.
    The last remnant of anything akin to decent, documentary style edutainment on the late great History channel are the military documentaries. Sans that, it's just the 'Story Channel'.

    No, it wasn't conflicting stories of Merlyn, it was the Brits having re-written history. The winners write the history books. Merlyn was indeed the master druid; the great sage of the Celts. And as stated quite plainly in this, the first REAL historical account of Merlin/Merlyn is about him going into the woods and going mad with grief after the Brits tried and almost completely obliterated the pagan way of life; their culture was surely destroyed.

    The story goes like this: Arthur’s father, Uther Tudur Pendragon, fell in love with Queen Ygerna of Cornwall, the young and beautiful wife of Gorlois, Duke and Prince of Cornwall. Ygerna, however, was faithful to her husband. So Uther Pendragon sought the support of Merlin and devised an intrigue to abduct the Queen of Cornwall and seduce her. Merlin lured Gorlois away from his castle on a pretext in order for Uther Pendragon to secretly snatch Ygerna at night and bring her to Tintagel. A confidante of Merlin who was also a servant to the Queen Ygerna of Cornwall then administered a drug to her, and she reached a hallucinogenic and will-less state. Ygerna was kidnapped from the castle and taken to a certain place where Uther Tudur Pendragon and several male and female druids where already assembled under Merlin’s leadership. Inside the circle they formed, Uther and the drugged (will-less) Ygerna performed the procreation. From their union, Arthur/Artus/Arthus was born on January 4, 469. Uther Tudur did not leave that matter to rest for long - the very same night he let Ygerna’s prince consort Gorlois be killed by his own bloodthirsty knights. The plan he devised with Merlin thus ended with complete success, Ygerna’s husband now out of the way. When Gorlois’s dead body was returned to Tintagel, Ygerna was already back home, but was now made pregnant by Uther Tudur and was still highly intoxicated by the drug and did not realize what had really happened, since she only later learned everything. The Caladvwlch sword (pronounced Caladfluch) was known as a “lightning sword “. It later became known as Cliburn and was rendered falsely by the church and its Latin language as Excalibur. Dinas Brân is the castle where Merlin lived. Dinas Bran Valley was located in the Cymru region where Merlin (the one with great knowledge) was also working. Merlin’s real name was Myrddin (the laughing one). Merlin, the druid of Camelot received his initiation when he was just nine years old, but he was not a magician and sorcerer, as falsely declared by Christianity, but a well-versed druid in many different fields of knowledge. He was also a bard, a doctor, a teacher, a prophet, a historian and ultimately the king and prince of druids of the Demetier tribe from South Wales. . Merlin’s father was King Morvryn, and his mother was a daughter of the King of the Demetier. Merlin’s father was also a visionary, and these visionary capabilities led to the evil legend within the Christian world that Merlin was a “scion of the devil,” a magician, a sorcerer. The naïveté and simplicity of the Christian interpretation held that Merlin and his father’s par anormal abilities meant that they were satanical, and that father and son were allied with the devil and fathered by him. Merlin was born on 1st May of the year 449;. he himself also turned to the sword and fought against the belligerent Christian intruders who broke into the country with murder and setting on fire and murdered or subjugated the population with the aim of spreading the Christian belief, conquering the country and destroying the Celtic philosophy of belief. After his last fight, when he was 66 years old in year 515, at the lost battle at Arfderryd, Merlin fled and settled down in a remote area in the wilderness of Caledonia in the Cheviot Hills, where he lived as Myrddin Wyllt (Merlin in the wilderness). He lived there for some time and then returned to his hometown, where an old female druid named Niniane (also known as Nimue) joined him and was a good friend to him. When he felt his death approaching, she finally accompanied Merlin on Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island), which he had chosen as his death place. He died there in the arms of the old druid, on June 14, 542 at the age of 93, and he was buried by the wise woman in a rocky cave according to his wishes.

In a place called Hinterschimidruti, Switzerland inter-dimensional beings (dwarfish in stature) come out at night to help cleanse an area of negative energy. There are also elemental conscious beings that are of high consciousness.

    King Arthur, or Artus, king of the Celts, contrary to today's depiction of having been a hero or the like, was absolutely not a courtly king in shining armor, nor a good-hearted and noble hero. King Artus was a fierce sixth-century clan leader, a “war king”, who led his pagan warriors in bloody battles and raids. He was a slaughterer and kept the name the “Boar of Cornwall”. His “knights” truly were bloodthirsty murderous thugs as you say. Artus himself was Merlin’s protégé, a pupil of Merlin the druid, for seven years.
    Born on January 4, 469, Arthur died on August 11, 509 in the Battle of Camlann (crooked valley) in a battle with his nephew Prince Medraut. Arthur was a brutal and stubborn man to whom human life meant little or nothing.
    Arthur's wife was Gwynhwyfara, Guanhamara, or Guinevere (white spirit or glowing spirit, Billy's note). His father was Uther Tudur, carrying the surname Pendragon, who was already married and impregnated another woman in a most insidious manner and thus procreated Arthur. Arthur's mother was Ygerna, who was also married and was the wife of Prince Gorlois. (Actually the liberal Celtic marriage laws did not overvalue lifelong physical fidelity. Thus, while Gorlois, the Cornic duke was deceived and cheated by the fraud, King Uther and Queen Ygerna could engage in a sexual act.)
    The story goes like this: Arthur’s father, Uther Tudur Pendragon, fell in love with Queen Ygerna of Cornwall, the young and beautiful wife of Gorlois, Duke and Prince of Cornwall. Ygerna, however, was faithful to her husband. So Uther Pendragon sought the support of Merlin and devised an intrigue to abduct the Queen of Cornwall and seduce her. Merlin lured Gorlois away from his castle on a pretext in order for Uther Pendragon to secretly snatch Ygerna at night and bring her to Tintagel. A confidante of Merlin who was also a servant to the Queen Ygerna of Cornwall then administered a drug to her, and she reached a hallucinogenic and will-less state.
    Ygerna was kidnapped from the castle and taken to a certain place where Uther Tudur Pendragon and several male and female druids where already assembled under Merlin’s leadership. Inside the circle they formed, Uther and the drugged (will-less) Ygerna performed the procreation. From their union, Arthur/Artus/Arthus was born on January 4, 469. Uther Tudur did not leave that matter to rest for long - the very same night he let Ygerna’s prince consort Gorlois be killed by his own bloodthirsty knights. The plan he devised with Merlin thus ended with complete success, Ygerna’s husband now out of the way.
    When Gorlois’s dead body was returned to Tintagel, Ygerna was already back home, but was now made pregnant by Uther Tudur and was still highly intoxicated by the drug and did not realize what had really happened, since she only later learned everything.
    The Caladvwlch sword (pronounced Caladfluch) was known as a “lightning sword“ because it emitted lightning-like rays. It later became known as Cliburn and was rendered falsely by the church and its Latin language as Excalibur. It was a light ray-weapon in the form of a sword, forged on the Isle of Avalon under the guidance and with the participation of the Plejarin[1] Keridwena, a sister of my grandfather Ezekeel[2]. Keridwena gave it as a gift to Merlin, who later handed it to Arthur, who then fought many bloody battles with it. All of Keridwena’s efforts to regain possession of the sword failed because it had been abused. .
    Hence, she was very angry with Merlin but could not persuade him to demand Arthur’s sword back and return it to her. It was only after Arthur’s death that the sword was reclaimed by Merlin and returned to the Plejarin Keridwena, after which she left Earth. She had already angrily ceased contact with Merlin at the time when Arthur committed his first murderous deeds with the sword.
    Dinas Brân is the castle where Merlin lived. Dinas Bran Valley was located in the Cymru region where Merlin (the one with great knowledge) was also working. Merlin’s real name was Myrddin (the laughing one). Merlin, the druid of Camelot received his initiation when he was just nine years old, but he was not a magician and sorcerer, as falsely declared by Christianity, but a well-versed druid in many different fields of knowledge. He was also a bard, a doctor, a teacher, a prophet, a historian and ultimately the king and prince of druids of the Demetier tribe from South Wales.
    He taught in the West/Occident on Plejarin Keridwena’s (the triple goddess, Billy’s note) instructions and had great visionary skills based on his practiced meditations. Merlin’s father was King Morvryn, and his mother was a daughter of the King of the Demetier. Merlin’s father was also a visionary, and these visionary capabilities led to the evil legend within the Christian world that Merlin was a “scion of the devil,” a magician, a sorcerer. The naïveté and simplicity of the Christian interpretation held that Merlin and his father’s paranormal abilities meant that they were satanical, and that father and son were allied with the devil and fathered by him.

    According to the Druid ways or traditions. Merlin was a title. The adviser to the King was called a Merlin. Also each Merlin must pass certain tests. They were "seerers" and they could float stone with certain frequencies. I know not all these tests but I do know I saw a woman facing a lion and she was to subdue that animal with her telepathic ability. In this case she panic and failed. I am a seerer and I see past lives at times.

    I have no proof to back this up so don’t ask, but, I honestly believe he is an immortal. So all the different Merlin’s everyone are referring to are actually the same one. As you recall he was said to be a shape shifter and becoming animal or human young or old would give him the advantage of hiding in plain sight. He was said to be wise and I speculate that he knew the time for magic and the old ways had passed and a new age was approaching.

    Merlin was born on May 1, 449. He also picked up the sword and fought with it, and he used his skills in military operations and as Arthur’s military advisor, contrary to the instruction and wishes of the Plejaren Keridwena, however without becoming morally bankrupt. Merlin also fought with his sword against the warlike Christian intruders who stole into the country through murder and arson, killing off or suppressing the population, to spread the Christian faith, conquer the land and destroy Celtic philosophy and beliefs.
    After his last fight, when he was 66 years old in year 515, at the lost battle at Arfderryd, Merlin fled and settled down in a remote area in the wilderness of Caledonia in the Cheviot Hills, where he lived as Myrddin Wyllt (Merlin in the wilderness). He lived there for some time and then returned to his hometown, where an old female druid named Niniane (also known as Nimue) joined him and was a good friend to him. When he felt his death approaching, she finally accompanied Merlin on Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island), which he had chosen as his death place. He died there in the arms of the old druid, on June 14, 542 at the age of 93, and he was buried by the wise woman in a rocky cave according to his wishes.

    Merlin was actually called Myrddyn (myrthn as dd is pronounced as th) he was actually a pagan prince of stradclut ( Strathclyde) with his dads base at Partick, his sister was the princess called Langoureth who eventually became queen and Christian but Myrddyn remained faithful to the Pagan cause hence why he was called a wizard and a madman etc etc. It’s in OUR HISTORY BOOKS. When the Ancient Brits aka cumbrae we’re split north from south many of the story’s that took place in what is now Scotland went to South to the Cymric people of Cymru. Wales means stranger and they are anything but, the last remnants of the old Cumbric/Brythonic language remains in the Cymric language.
    Most of this is nonsense but entertaining and good to get people interested in the subject. Tintagel Castle wasn’t even built then and Geoffrey was a good story embellisher.

He is a Christ the Redeemer substituted into earlier Celtic traditions. There are many Irish, Welsh and Scottish stories that are pre-christian stories that then has woven into them christian symbolism and plot lines - these were powerful tool for conversion.
