Of Swords and Magic: History, Myth and the Continuation of Arthurian Legend
Welcome to your newest source of Arthuriana!
The stories of King Arthur give us a sense of hope; they give us adventure, inspiration, magic and absolute triumph over darkness against all odds. These stories have themes that will always be relevant and lessons that will always be important. That’s why I will never stop analyzing and discussing it. ❤ Welcome to my rambling spot!
Read some blog posts, listen to a podcast episode, buy some tea, check out some inspiration boards…step back into a time of swords and magic. Enjoy!

I thought about this last night and compiled a list of fun activities to do in honor of Women’s Day (and all month!) inspired by some of the women of the Legend. ❤ Let’s get to celebrating!Continue reading “Activities for International Women’s Day: Arthurian Edition”
