Merlin is best known as the wizard featured in Arthurian legend and Avalon (now called Glastonbury) . Merlin was always King Arthur's benefactor. In some legends, Merlin had a role in bring about the birth of Arthur.
It was Merlin who arranged the test of the sword and stone as a test to determine who would replace the dead king. The Stone represented Christanity and the Sword, Justice. Stories are different, either the Archbishop to claim who so ever pulls out the sword of this stone, is right wise king born of all England. Only Arthur could removed it. making him the unquestioned king of England. Merlin was always involved with King Arthur.
Merlin created the Round Table for Uther Pendragon (King Arthur's father - given as a wedding gift) . Merlin also played a major role in the mysteries of the Grail. When he met the mystic Lady of the Lake, Merlin gets her to present King Arthur with his magical sword, Excalibur to make him Invinciable in his battles of Good against Evil.
Merlin assisted Uther Pendragon and is responsible for transporting the stones of Stonehenge from Ireland. Merlin uses his extraordinary powers, brought the stones back to a site, just west of Amesbury, and re-erected them around the mass grave of the British nobles..
Tintagel is said to be the birthplace of King Arthur where the remains of the castle is now. At base of Tintagel Island's cliff is Merlin's Cave

In 2004, I had the great priviedge of traveling around the world and the main purpose of my trip was to visit and experience Ancient Britain/Avalon and following the history of King Arthur, Merlin and Lady of the Lake. I felt right at home and didn't want to leave. Glastonbury (Avalon) has profoundly amazing energy and history.
I visited King Arthur's Tomb and grave, King Arthur Castle, below this was also Merlin's Cave. This was an exciting time for me on my psychic and spiritual journey and a life changing moment was visiting Ancient Britain and where once I came from in another lifetime..
