Book Of Merlin
The Book of Merlyn is an Arthurian fantasy book by British writer T. H. White. It is the conclusion of The Once and Future King, but it was published separately and posthumously.[1]
Book of Merlin
The book opens as King Arthur prepares himself for his final battle. Merlyn reappears to complete Arthur's education and discover the cause of wars. As he did in The Sword in the Stone, Merlyn again demonstrates ethics and politics to Arthur by transforming him into various animals.
The last chapter of the book takes place only hours before the final battle between King Arthur and his son and nephew Mordred. Arthur does not want to fight after everything that he has learned from Merlyn. He makes a deal with Mordred to split England in half. Mordred accepts. During the making of this deal, a snake comes upon one of Mordred's soldiers. The soldier draws his sword. The opposing side, unaware of the snake, takes this as an act of betrayal. Arthur's troops attack Mordred's, and both Arthur and Mordred die in the battle that follows.
White was inspired to write this book upon determining that the key theme of Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur is to find an "antidote for war". Rather than containing a distinct plot, this book reads more like a discourse on war and human nature.[1]
White had revised The Sword in the Stone (1938), The Queen of Air and Darkness (1939), plus The Ill-Made Knight (1940) to weave in the anti-war theme.[1] In November 1941 White sent the revisions along with The Candle in the Wind (part 4) and The Book of Merlyn (part 5) to his publisher with the intent that all five parts be published together as a single book.[1] The publisher declined due to wartime paper shortages and White's antiwar message.[1][2]

Meet Merlin Sheldrake, the man who loves fungi so much he's not only written a book about them, but he's also allowed pleurotus ostreatus to devour his every written word, producing a healthy crop of oyster mushrooms, which he then decided to eat.
The Cambridge scholar and author of Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds, & Shape Our Futures admits to being flattered at first by the fungi's voracious appetite, as it greedily consumed the pages of his book, but upon reflection realises that pleurotus can devour everything from crude oil to cigarette butts.
Gaius was given his grimoire when he was still a young man. After magic was outlawed during the Great Purge, Gaius kept the book hidden and later gave it to Merlin after he became Arthur's manservant (The Dragon's Call).
When Camelot was stricken by a magical plague, Arthur nearly discovered the book during his door to door search for evidence of sorcery. Merlin later used a healing spell recorded in the grimoire to cure Guinevere's father with a magic poultice (The Mark of Nimueh).
A year following the event of Wizards, Blinky manages to completely decipher Merlin's book and uncover the history behind the Arcane Order: Billions of years ago in the Age of First Creation, the Order created the universe (including Earth) with the Titans as their handmaidens. The Titans have been in stasis for millennia, awaiting their masters to break the Genesis Seals and arouse them from their slumber. If the demigods converge their Titans together at the "center of the universe" (aka Arcadia Oaks), then the world will be reborn back to the age of First Creation.
After Nari sacrifices herself to kill Skrael and his Ice Titan and prevent the three from uniting, the Guardians of Arcadia are baffled that Bellroc and her Fire Titan are still marching towards Arcadia. Jim asks Blinky if he read the entire grimoire, to which the latter insists he has. However, the Trollhunter realizes the book's pages were molded together and pries the pages apart, revealing that Blinky had missed one critical piece of information: The Titans never had to unite with each other, but rather with the last surviving primordial Heartstone. If only one Titan succeeds in reaching the Heartstone, that will be the element the world will be reborn as (in this case, the Fire Titan will destroy the world and remake it into a desolate planet filled with nothing but fire and lava).
To complement the reference work by Lupack, this is perhaps the best non-fiction book detailing the history of King Arthur and his possible life (if he ever lived) as well as his fruitful afterlife as literary inspiration over the centuries. Day really knows his subject, and is an affable guide through Arthuriana with its various twists and turns.
The Black Book of Carmarthen (Welsh: Llyfr Du Caerfyrddin) is thought to be the earliest surviving manuscript written solely in Welsh. Written before 1250, it is the work of a single scribe writing at different periods of his life. The book's name comes from its association with the Priory of St. John the Evangelist and Teulyddog at Carmarthen, and is referred to as black due to the colour of its binding. The book contains a collection of 9th - 12th century poetry falling into various categories: religious and secular subjects and odes of praise and mourning. Of greater interest are the poems which draw on traditions relating to the Welsh heroes associated with the legend of Arthur and Myrddin, also known as Merlin, thus predating the descriptions of Merlin by Geoffrey of Monmouth. In essence, The Black Book or Carmarthen is the first text that establishes the existence of the world most famous sorcerer.

Michael Richardson, a special collections librarian at the University of Bristol, found the parchment pieces glued into a 15th-century book in 2019, reports Sarah Durn for Atlas Obscura. Since then, Campbell and colleagues Leah Tether and Benjamin Pohl, both medieval historians at Bristol, have concluded that the pages made their way to England about 80 years after they were written.
The text probably remained at the library until Richardson discovered the pages in 2019. Now, the scholars have published the translation, as well as their study of the manuscript fragments, in a book titled The Bristol Merlin: Revealing the Secrets of a Medieval Fragment.
Take the vial over to Merlin. He won't perform the Watering Can enchantment himself, but rather hand you a book with its ingredients. First, you'll need 25 Mushrooms, which should be easy enough to find in the Glade of Trust. That leaves two items you've never seen before: Falling Water and Ice Heart. The Ice Heart is easy enough to get. The seed is inside the book that Merlin gives you, so just walk to any plot and plant it. The seed grows pretty quickly, so take a few moments to wander around. The Falling Water is a little trickier, unless you know where to look. Go to the Glade of Trust and walk toward the waterfall near the south end of the map. You can interact with part of the waterfall and collect the Falling Water.

Apparently a copy of the Eternity Book along with Sultan Suleiman's scimitar was hidden beneath an ancient Roman temple by Merlin in 1566. The book was later founded by Selma Tolon, who uses its spells as the heroine known as Janissary. Although Tolon has not yet fully master the spell book.[2]
"I would like to thank all the organizers and mentors of the Mentor Merlin centre for their support and guidance throughout the journey. They helped me with online classes, onsite training, and exam booking as well. By God's grace and their teamwork as well as support I was able to crack OSCE in the first attempt in a month's time. Their study materials, checklists, mock exams, and especially onsite training made me confident. I would proudly recommend the centre to all future aspirants.Thank you all for your support, guidance, and patience with us. Above all, I thank My almighty Lord Jesus Christ for his blessings."
ONCE & FUTURE is queer King Arthur in space and is one of the most unique and diverse books you will ever read. In this story, King Arthur reincarnates every few hundred or thousand years because he always dies before he completes his mission to unite humanity. It takes place far in the future when humans live throughout the universe on different planets, and Arthur reincarnates as a girl for the first time. It seems really exciting, but the world is actually ruled by the corrupt Mercer Corporation which is a major obstacle for anyone who wants to unite humanity. 041b061a72
