Wizard Earrings

Wizards, magicians, enchanters, and prophets are to be found among all folklore and traditions. Most recently, Tolkien made famous his great wizard of Middle-earth, Gandalf the Grey, and his nemesis, Saruman.

Perhaps the most famous wizard of European lore was Merlin, aid and counselor to King Arthur in the Arthurian tales. His name, “Merlinus,” is a Latinized adaptation of the Welsh “Myrddin” – the name of a late sixth-century northern bard reported to have the gift of sight. As a young prophet, he is brought to Vortigern to be sacrificed to a dragon, but saves himself by displaying feats of magic greater than those of the King’s sorcerers. He casts the spell that allows Uther to wed Ygrain and assists Arthur in obtaining the magical sword, Excalibur.
