Historical Merlin and Sites of interest

Historical Merlin and Sites of interest

I have for a while now, with my best friend been investigating the various myths associated with Merlin (Wether he is one man or several is not my interest at the moment, but has factored into my research) We have taken it upon ourselves to try and gather together as many Merlin stories and such to see if we can draw some sort of correlation between all the myths…

hi,

have seen this rosette in various old UK churches – can anybody tell me what it symbolises please?

Black Annis, Leicestershire

Black Annis, Leicestershire

Black Annis [also called Black Anna, Black Anny, Black Agnes and Cat Anna or Cat Annis] is a blue faced hag who haunts the Dane Hills of Leicestershire in central England. She is very tall with tattered hair and long, yellow or white fangs. Some say that she has only one eye. She lived in a cave called Black Annis’ Bower, which she scraped out of the rock with her own sharp fingernails.

Dead Birds – are they an omen or a curse?

Dead Birds – are they an omen or a curse?

During our recent holiday in Dorset we were staying in a rented house and one morning we were intrigued to see a dead bird perched on the railing which runs along the porch at the back of the house. It did not look injured and was certainly dead as it rocked when it was blown by the breeze. It almost looked as if someone had stuck a stuffed bird to the rail.
