Beware the Jabberwock

I believe in the legend rather then what historians think "really" happend.

the problem with that is that the legend was created, over hundreds of years by different people. Chretien de Troyes was the first person ever to mention Lancelot. It wasn't until years later that the relationship between Lancelot and Guinevere was considered a "bad" thing. The grail wasn't originally a holy grail, it was just a grail. etc.

The legend hasn't remained static, not to mention that even today there are many different versions of it.
I think just because there is no proof of something like Excalibur,or Merlin,or even Avalon doesn't mean they do not exist.I do not believe for a second that Arthur was roman or Merlin was some barbarian as the historians suggest.

When you two argue about legends vs. historical proof you are forgetting one thing. That is that there is a distinct difference between truth and fact. Fact is documented proof with physical evidence to back it up. Truth is anything that an individual or group of individuals believe.
Every single legend ever told can be true, but that does not mean it is fact. I agree that those legends are true and that you believe them over historian's facts, but that does not give you the right to disregard fact. On the other side of the coin is that historian's have no right to disregard people's belief systems, because sometimes facts are hidden within these truths.

I have an Arthurian tarot deck with an accompanying detailed and informative book called Hallowquest which goes into amazing detail about individuals within the Arthurian mythology.

I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in both Arthurian mythology and tarot

I just started to get interested in it about a month ago. I read the book I am Morgan le Fay and am reading The Mists of Avalon. I'm really interested in Morgan le Fay (currently applying to be her.)
