Merlin is the source of a visionary spring about to emerge, in a profound change of human consciousness. Not the fictional Merlin of novels and films, but the earth and star based primal Merlin of ancient Welsh bardic tradition. R J Stewart brings together in one volume his books on The Prophecies of Merlin and The Life of Merlin, twelfth century texts by Geoffrey of Monmouth. A detailed interpretation of the Prophecies is revealed, and a guide to the initiatory methods within the Life of Merlin. This book provides deep insights into bardic prophetic consciousness predicting the end of a planetary cycle in the early 21st century. The Prophecies of Merlin match the famous Mayan calendar, for both predict sidereal alignments and the end of a cycle.
