You're listening to Druidcast 32.

Thank you. I'm . I have been from the beginning. I have seen all manner of things.

My voice has been heard upraised in song, in the halls of kings, in the palaces of princes,

in the houses of people, and in the groves of the druid.

forefront of the host. I have stood in the place where the sun of man was laid. I have spoken to

Magi in the groves of a baron. I have walked all roads between Erieu and Emaeus. I have listened to the

words of the wisest of the wise. I have sung to princes in the halls of Byzantium.

I have chanted my praises before the Lord of hosts. Who I was remains unknown, but in time men shall call me Merlin and Yocanan.

Three times imprisoned in the place of the goddess, I am now enclosed in the circle of the world.

In the pattern of creation I seek my source,

in the almighty power of the Holy Word,

in the dreaming choirs of the mighty abbeys,
