The Thaumaturge

In the late 5th century, a boy was born, heir to magic and foresight of future events. His name came to be 'Merlin'. According to accounts, his teacher in Druidical understanding, was one Blaise...a clergyman or Druid of those days. It is likely, Merlin was cared for by Blaise, as a father would a son. 

His fathering is mysterious, as was the fathering of Jesus and as was the fathering of one 'Merovech', a contemporary of Merlin's birth period...the mid to late 5th century. This Merovech was fathered of a sea creature, called a Quinotaur, or 'fish' that came unto his mother, while bathing in the sea. 

It is my consideration, that Merlin, this magical boy, might have been connected...in some fashion to the conception of the Merovingian Dynasty, of the same time period, across in France, called Francia, in latin at that time. 

It is further, of curious note, the 'Old English' name for the Merovingian's, was 'Merewiowing'. It is my supposition, that the boy seer of the Calidonian forest, was one 'Merewiowing'(Merlin), as we have come to know him, and that he was of a royal line, destined to work with Kings, and wielder's of 'thaumaturgy'.

His line and his truth were buried beneath myth, or fictionalized history, so as to obscure a light that came to the Earth to heal and teach. His obscurity, I feel sure...has always been politically motivated at root; and yet...in the minds and hearts of men, who believe in light, and enlightenment, there is still that spark ...that magic Merlin represents.

If Merlin is associated, in some way, with a Royal bloodline, a dynasty of Frankish Kings, and he were marginalized for his safety, or for the shape of his nose...I would suppose, men have a right to know...and might want to, for these 'long haired' Kings may, indeed hold a clue to a possible bloodline of our very savior, Jesus Christ.



This is, at present...an informal idea, with notes below from Wikipedia. Read at your risk and decide for yourselves...is there reason to continue this investigation? I believe, with these clues, alone, as a key to an ancient mystery, a sepulcher may be opened that holds the very soul of truth. There is much much more, but this is a beginning...perhaps a crack in 'the damned lie'.

If you are a scholar or a prelate of some 'pile' of religious contention...I am but a poet, with a mind and a pen. Consider this...don't criticize it, for what do you know...really?

I wish to publish this short essay, in order to give a clue and so that, readers, in future, may somewhat understand what I am on about with my Merlin poetry's and jottings.

Notes: The legend about Merovech's conception was adapted in 1982 by authors Henry Lincoln and Richard Leigh in their book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, as the seed of a new idea. They hypothesized that this "descended from a fish" legend was actually referring to the concept that the Merovingian line had married into the bloodline of Jesus Christ, since the symbol for early Christians had also been a fish

The Quinotaur (Lat. Quinotaurus) is a mythical sea creature mentioned in the 7th century Frankish Chronicle of Fredegar. Referred to as "bestea Neptuni Quinotauri similis",[1] (the beast of Neptune which resembles a Quinotaur) it was held to have fathered Meroveus by attacking the wife of the Frankish king Chlodio and thus to have sired the line of Merovingian kings.

The Merovingians (/ˌmɛrˈvɪnɪən/) were a Salian Frankish dynasty that ruled the Franks for nearly 300 years in a region known as Francia in Latin, beginning in the middle of the 5th century. Their territory largely corresponded to ancient Gaul as well as the Roman provinces of RaetiaGermania Superior and the southern part of Germania. The Merovingian dynasty was founded by Childeric I (c. 457 – 481), the son of Merovech, leader of the Salian Franks, but it was his famous son Clovis I (481–511) who united all of Gaul under Merovingian rule.

The Merovingian ruling family were sometimes referred to as the "long-haired kings" (Latin reges criniti) by contemporaries, as their long hair distinguished them among the Franks, who commonly cut their hair short. The term "Merovingian" comes from medieval Latin Merovingi or Merohingi ("sons of Merovech"), an alteration of an unattestedOld Dutch form, akin to their dynasty's Old English name Merewīowing,[3] with the final -ing being a typical patronymicsuffix...Source: Wikipedia.




Thaumaturgy (US pronunciation: i/ˈθɔːməˌtɜːrdʒi/, from Greek θαῦμα thaûma, meaning "miracle" or "marvel" and ἔργον érgon, meaning "work") is the capability of a magician or a saint to work magic or miracles.

Magic

In the 16th century, the word thaumaturgy entered the English language meaning miraculous or magical powers.
The word was first anglicized and used in the magical sense in John Dee's book Mathematicall Praeface to Euclid's Elements (1570). He mentions an "art mathematical" called "thaumaturgy... which giveth certain order to make strange works, of the sense to be perceived and of men greatly to be wondered at."
