I noticed that about stone henge too, the location where Morgause had Morgana probable had something to do with the spell she cast. All the other stuff, I didn't know about. But the Summer Solstice pagan celebrations remind me a lot of wiccan beltane. I thought the druids were very interesting as they don't get that much background in the actual show other than they are nice magica nomads.

I would be interested in a witchhunt blog, I watched a documentary on something called 'The Burning Times' also called the Women's Holocaust. Acoording to the documentary, it was a large witch hunt that took place over centuries in Europe. Very disturbing stuff. But not all the facts in it are true. For instance, it fails to mention that it is Protestant Christians who were mostly responsible for the witch hunt rather than jus plain christians. And there also seems to be debate on whether 9 million people were killed or 100 thousand over the course of a few centuries.

It and the Great Purge seem to have a lot in common.

The Merlin/Arthur relationship blog also looks interesting. Tho I don't think they are actually gay or romantic with each other.

Nice blog. All of the similarities between MERLIN and pagan traditions is very interesting and ironic. Maybe one about that too. For instance, in series 2, there is tapestry of a green serpentlike dragon in the throneroom that seems to have a triquetra coming out of its mouth. And Uther wears an odd necklace that looks like a druid or pagan symbol of some kind. And instead of a christian marriage, Uther and Catrina were married by handfasting, which I think is more pagan, therefore more like the old religion. The merlin writers are obviously getting decorations ideas from the pagans.
