The 21 Lessons of Merlyn: A Study in Druid Magic & Lore

by Douglas Monroe

Llewellyn Worldwide | September 8, 2002 | Trade Paperback

King Arthur would get advice from his magician, Merlyn, in the mythic stories. The real Arthur (who lived over 500 years before the period of the mythic Arthur) was trained by a Druid bard and poet named Merlyn. The result was an unprecedented period of peace that lasted for twenty years.

In Douglas Monroe''s The 21 Lessons of Merlyn, you''ll read delightful stories based on the historic Arthur and Merlyn. Each one is followed by lessons based on the never-before-published 16th century manuscript entitled The Book of Pheryllt. In a metaphoric sense, you''ll see how Arthur learned his lessons. In a practical sense, you be learning the same sort of lessons that Arthur may have learned.

This is truly a complete course in authentic Celtic Druidism and magick. Filled with lore, philosophy, wisdom, rituals, and more, you''ll be able to apply many of these concepts to improve your life.

If you are looking for accurate information, this is the place to start! Douglas Monroe has studied magick since he was ten years old and has taught in the United States, Britain, and South America, and is the founder of the New Forest Centre for Magickal Studies. His own illustrations and charts fill the book and clarify the deep teachings of the ancient Druids.

From learning about Stonehenge to the Rite of the 3 Rays for protective purification; from learning the four herbs that will aid in conserving male sexual energy to discovering the secrets of calling the Dragon (the power of the ley lines); this book is like a full course meal in a cafeteria of magick.

If you are really interested in gaining a thorough understanding of the real tradition of the Druids - what they believed, what they practiced and how to incorporate it into your life - then join with 120,000 other people. Get this book today!

    The 21 Lessons of Merlyn

    Justin Furtado

    8 years ago

    This is perhaps one of the worst written books on the subject of Druidism I have read to date. The teachings are at times fatally dangerous; the stories, though good for a fantasy novel, are nothing more than just that; and the followup book is even worse! Stay away from this book if you are looking for a true book on Druidism, for you will find nothing of value here.

    I borrowed this book from the library and couldn't put it down so I had to buy it straight away.....this book is the best book of this nature that I have read because it is full of story about when Arthur was a boy, Merlyn and druidic lore with magikal overture wrapped through it....it even has good recipes for sabbattal meads and wines. Anyone interested in Merlyn or King Arthur should read this book at least once, they will see a side to the famous legend that they wouldnt believe otherwise.

    An Excellent Introduction

    This is a rare thing a book on magick that is both charming and intriguing most books on magick tend to be about as readable as a tax form. this book is different it is charming where others are arrogant subtle where others are overstated it is as nice to enjoy for a springtime read as a robert jordan novel. In many circles this book is already considered to be a classic and for good reason take some time to read it and learn why for yourself.

About the Author

Douglas Monroe has been involved in practical Earth magick since his first apprenticeship at age 10. As a boy , he studied classical Magic under the guidance of Israel Regardie, and has studied and taught in the United States, in Britain, and in Argentina. He is founder of the New Forest Centre for Magickal Studies and has made many excursions to Celtic Britain to collect original materials on Druidism and Arthurian Lore. His Method of teaching - here seemingly presented as tales of magic and adventure - has many precedents in the Wisdom Teachings of the East and West, but most truly in the Druidic Tradition that he has followed, and of which he is a foremost exponent.
