As for the prophecy, what prophecy do you mean?

I mean the prophecy that says that Emrys will free the land from oppression, meaning that magic will be free again and that he helps Arthur uniting the lands of Albion.

Since there were quite some people who knew about Merlin's destiny and the prophecy I can't really imagine that especially the High Priestesses didn't know about it. Unless it was a secret prophecy that had to be kept secret from the Triple Goddess. If so, this would contribute to the assumption that there were different agendas among the gods/goddesses within the Old Religion and that the Triple Goddess probably wouldn't allow Emrys/Merlin to bring about a new era without the Old Ways but a new religion.
