 . . . .
Has been painted as evil by nearly all Arthurian scholars, including Thomas Mallory, who reignited interest in the Arthurian legends through his book, The Morte D'Arthur. But Morgan was Lady of the Lake, a priestess of the Triple Goddess, and it is history's shame to have painted her black. alf-sister to Arthur, she bore his child, Gawain, under the festival of the Horned God (not the devil, but the God of the Hunt, representing masculinity and sheer sex, basically!). Unfortunately for both Arthur and Morgan, Christianity made inroads into Camelot, and their coupling was seen as diabolical, thus Gawain was seen as a sort of demented imp, rather than just the over-ambitious youth he grew into. Morgan kept holy the memory of the Lake though she lived a country life for much of span on earth. She had the horned moon of the Triple Goddess tattooed between her brows and she was a vegetarian for much of her life.
