Merlin’s Tomb is a neolithic megalith in Paimpont Forest near the city of Rennes in Brittany, France. The Bretons tell many legends of King Arthur and his great magician, Merlin. It is in this forest, at the fountain of Barenton, that Merlin first met and fell in love with the fairy Viviane, the Lady of the Lake. It is also stated that Merlin’s tomb can be found in the heart of the forest, hiding the ‘prison of air’ in which Viviane incarcerated him to prevent his return to Arthur’s court.

The Irish werewolf is different from the Teutonic or European werewolf, as it is really not a “monster” at all. Unlike its continental cousins, this shapeshifter is the guardian and protector of children, wounded men and lost persons. According to some ancient sources, the Irish werewolves were even recruited by kings in time of war. Known in their native land as the faoladh or conroicht, their predatory behaviour is typical of the common wolf, not beneath the occasional nocturnal raid .
