Merlin remains the archetypal wizard of the dark ages, an enigmatic magician whose gifts of prophecy and miracle-working have made him the greatest mage ever.
In this enthralling book, the famed wizard's life is vividly reconstructed among kings and knights, damsels and dragons, and lost kingdoms. From serving as King Arthur's advisor to obtaining intimate knowledge of Atlantis to launching the quest for the Holy Grail, each aspect of Merlin's life is explored in fascinating depth. Connections to Druidry, Celtic and Welsh culture, and the Tarot provide historical context to an existence steeped in war, madness, love, lust, and sorcery.
"This is not a book about a dead king in a past and distant land, but an evocation of an impulse within all our psyches, which can vivify our future."
—Alan Richardson, author of Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune

Dawn of the Goddess
Gordon Strong
Soon, in the ancient Six Kingdoms of the West, the Age of Kings must end. But what will be the new era that takes its place? The Goddess has waited, with the patience of the moon, for her time to arrive.
Paldarch the Wizard is aware of her coming, as he knows that much will soon change in the
The tale unfolds - passion, enchantment and wickedness combine to make an intoxicating brew. The courage of knights, the mystery of maidens and the beauteous wonder of the natural world, together create a fascinating pageant.
This new book echoes a time when magic and majesty ruled the earth, and all was eternal.
This is the dawn of The New Age – this is the Dawn of The Goddess.

The Author writes… If he is fortunate, the writer produces a book because he has been requested to do so by his publisher. This is the logical approach to authorship. Another prompting he may have to write, and one totally without reason and unbidden, comes from somewhere else. I never thought that I would write a novel of wizards, knights and kings. Fair maidens, possibly, but they are an essential part of the fiction of any age. I found myself writing Dawn of The Goddess almost involuntarily. It was as if I were watching a series of events that occurred long ago, and then simply recording them as best I could. I was drawn to the characters that so clearly appeared upon the stage before me, and in some of them I began to recognise parts of my own self and that of others. But the more I wrote, the more I realised that there was more to all this than merely creating any fantasy world. This was all strangely real - certainly as real as anything else I might encounter in my life. And when I had finished recounting the tale I knew I had been privileged to experience something unique. ~o00o~
