do you know anything about the talisman of merlin?
Historicity, there is no reference to a “Talisman of Merlin”; however since the popularity of movies and television there have been several. There are also “Talisman of Merlin” cited in various novels dedicated to Merlin and (in some fictional tales) his Daughters.
According to some historians, Merlin was more of an office than a person, so in fact there may have been a talisman handed down from one “Merlin” to the next.
In T. H. White’s book: “The Once and Future King” Merlin is referenced as a man who was trained in the old religion and embraced the Christian influence. This seems historically correct in that at the time of the first wave of Christendom, the Celts embraced the religion because most of the ethics (and some of the lore) matched the Old Ways. It wasn’t until the second wave of Christendom when the social structure was toppled by the wave of Christians who slaughtered the old Women and young men in order to supplant the culture and gain access to their lands and workforce.
If indeed Merlin was one of the people caught in the first wave, then he was a living bridge between cultures, gods and people. I would imaging his talisman would represent such of bridge of lore and understanding, possibly something new and different; although I have no resources to tell me otherwise. Unfortunately, the “Talisman of Merlin” may be only considered a modern Homage to this almost mythical Man.
