In the end of the story, when King Arthur has Percival throw Excalibur back into the Lake, when he gives the divine sign of Leadership back to the Divine, the people are left leaderless and chaos ensues.
We take these
stories to mean that in order to have peace and prosperity, one extraordinary human must be leader of us all. That great leaders will shine and be noticed and become our salvation so when we do not have our “King Arthur” we see ourselves as weakened and directionless.When feeling weak and leaderless we look for other kinds of leaders outside of ourselves. When we don’t find what we want we sue our Doctors, bitch about our Government and make Gurus of every self help book author. We wait for Magick we don’t believe in.
Who is The Lady of the Lake but Mother Life ?
What is The Dragon’s Breath* but the forces of Nature and her Laws?
What is Excalibur but your own body, the fact that you live ?
and who is Arthur but you ?
When The Horned One came into my dreams I mated with him shamelessly because he is raw power. I trembled, not with fear of Him, but with the Responsibility of desiring him and the Knowledge that he would come to me if I called.
I became Eve eating the apple, Mary birthing the force of change into Life, Guenivere holding the fate of the Realm in my hands, Morgaine the Witch* calling forth the Dragon’s Breath* and then I awoke and put in a load of laundry.
