Description

From Morgan to Merlin, the Lady of the Lake to Dame Brusen, the conjuring arts play a pivotal role in a significant number of both medieval and modern versions of the Arthurian story. This panel seeks to facilitate a productive discussion on the role of magic within these tales, to better understand how and why magic has remained an important element of the Arthurian narrative.
