Camelot was the first play I ever saw. I still remember the magic of that experience. It led to a life-long fascination with King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, The Knights of the Round Table and, of course, Merlin. This interest even carried into the next generation with my oldest daughter’s love of the Arthurian legend. When I opened the email with Inner Traditions’ latest publications, I was delighted to discover that these people and places were actually real. It was a bit like a childhood fantasy coming to life. If part or all of the Legend of King Arthur is real, then maybe other fanciful beliefs that we think are myths, are actually real. It opens one’s imagination to possibilities, even the possibility of miracles that are not so much miracles as they are every day occurrences–depending on your belief system. Please join us Thursday for a fascinating journey into the discovery of King Arthur as an authentic British King, Camelot as a real place and Excalibur as a real sword.
