Tintagel

david hobbs · Tintagel

Has anyone been to Tintagel. I think that this year I will spent a day or two down in that part of the world. The asocciation with Arthur and Merlin are well known.
I used to work with the Merlin current (for want of a better word) Back in the good old days and I think I have done the crop circles to death over the last ten years.
This is of course prompted by the book that my friend has just published about the roots of the Arthurian legends.

Ian

i went there last year dave, a brilliant place, full of atmosphere, love to go back.

Ian

I like to read that book when you have it dave, i have always been drawn to arthur and merlin. Perhaps instead of going to wiltshire this year we can go to tintagel and perhaps cadbury castle on the way down.

i think i have some pictures i took at tintagel last year i will try and put them on.

meiah

Have you been?

This is a place I'd love to visit with the old King Arthur and Merlin 'stories' and such... great stuff

david hobbs

I just learned from Ian that he has changed his job and can't go now.

Peed off I am.

I shall still go but at a different date possibly on my own and bugger everybody.

Or it may just be a trip to Glastonbury instead.

See what "she who must be obeyed" has to say on the matter.

Magi never comes with me but true to the feminine species she is a marvel at organising things for me.

Reminds me, must get on with tiling the kitchen.

I think the old King Arthur stories are most probably humanised versions of old pagan gods of the British Isles, a bit like the Robin Hood tales.

I did a pathworking some years ago an quite out of the blue it was revealed to me that 'Merlin' wasn't in fact the name of just one man, it was the title of many.
The title of Merlin was apparently handed down from one mage to another to denote a higher rank and greater power.

david hobbs

I have met quite a few Merlins occupying a human body and with 9 to 5 jobs so you could be right.

I always referred to it as working the Merlin current which suggests that it is not a man but a universal energy.

I must say the the current is powerful, workable, and easy to access.

Raymond

I have worked with this 'Merlin current' Mr. Hobbs (although it wasn't called that at the time) and it is indeed very powerful.
I thinks that's where this information came from because it wasn't so much like invoking a specific person but rather a collective.
I think I will need to investigate this a little more.

I too have met people whom I think would very much deserve the title of Merlin. Not all men I might add!

david hobbs

Female Merlins.

That's novel.

Morgana Le Faye perhaps.

Merlin is an Archetypycal figure, and considered by some to be the Arch Mage of this land, with Herne the Hunter as the lord and guardian of this land.

Within the Arthurian legends we see how Arthur was the once and future king of this land.

Working with that energy is fine, but first you need to learn what it represents.

I have put something in the "this is my story thread about my introduction to the Merlin current.

It is roughly written but you may find it of interest.

laura

visited tintagel.... what an amazing place....so atmospheric....really lost myself in the place .

david hobbs

Now I am jealous.

Do tell more.

laura

as soon as you enter the village senses tingle ... the whole atmosphere of the place is ....magical (not wanting to sound corny)
the walk to the castle built the anticipation of something wonderful and we were not disapointed... the steps that wound up the cliff to the entrance to the ruins was like nothing i had seen before. looking down , the water fall onto the beach and the caves carved into the cliff ... looking up at the kestrels circling above the ruins...... once within the ruins being transported back in time to the finery of the rich and the extremly hard conditions life would be for the less fortunate . authurian or not.... the place has an atmoshere like no other place i have visited.
