  • Morgana Le Fay’s Influence in Game of Thrones

    For today’s post I would like to look at Morgan Le Fay’s influence in the characters in Game of Thrones (or as the book series is called A Song of Ice and Fire).    The obvious Morgana connection here is to Melisandre of Asshai.   She is the redheaded witch character.   In many ways…


  • Merlin, a Half-Demon?

    For today’s post I would like to look at the origins of Merlin.   In many of the medieval sources he is said to be the son of a human woman and either a demon or an incubus.    So this gives Merlin the origins of having an evil magical being as a father. This…


  • The Rhiannon and Lady Godiva Connection

    For today’s post I would like to take a look at the way Rhiannon can be seen as connected to the legendary tale of Lady Godiva!    The Goddess Rhiannon had a story that began with her riding a beautiful white horse at a slow and steady pace across a magical border between the land…


  • The Anne Boleyn and Morgana Le Fay Connection

    Today’s post is inspired by something I mentioned in one of my twitch.tv streams.    I said I always felt there was a connection between Anne Boleyn and Morgana.    So that is my topic of discussion in this post!   Morgana was a witch and faery enchantress, and Anne Boleyn was accused of witchcraft,…


  • Bellatrix Lestrange: Witch Bitch

    For this week’s Femme Fatale Friday I have chosen a truly fatal female.   In the Harry Potter books there was not a more evil and wicked female magician than Bellatrix Lestrange.    There is literally nothing but blackness and bile in this bitchy witch!    She is an antagonist and rather mad, and is…


  • Phoenix: Bird of Fiery Rebirth

    For today’s post I would like to discuss the fiery bird, the phoenix.   The phoenix is a fire bird from mythology.    The story of the phoenix is a bird who gets engulfed in fire when it is ready to die.    The unique part of this bird is that it gets born again…


  • Avalon Magick Poem

  • Morgana, Mermaids, and Melusine

    Hello my lovely readers!    For today’s post I would like to focus on watery faerie women.   This is a favorite subject of mine, as regular readers here will remember.   For today I want to focus on how Morgana, mermaids, and Melusine are connected.    In particular I want to focus on the…


  • YouTube Update

    I just wanted to let everyone know I am in the process of uploading my video. I has to be in three parts because apparently my 31 minute video was too long for the level of account I have. I hope you will like Origins of Morgana le Fay parts 1-3!


  • Morgana Le Fay as La Belle Dame Sans Merci

    For today’s post I would like to analyze the poem La Belle Dame Sans Merci by John Keats.   This particular analysis will focus on my belief that the Belle Dame of the poem is none other than Morgan Le Fay! Within the poem we meet a knight who is lying near death and tells…
