Lucya Starza, author of Pagan Portals – Candle Magic I’ve always loved reading tales of Merlin. In this book Elen Sentier gives a fascinating and personal account of the magical lessons she has learnt through shamanic journeying with the most famous wizard of the British Isles.
Melusine Draco, author of The Secret People and Pan: Dark Lord of the Forest:In Merlin: Once and Future Wizard, Elen Sentier does what she does best – storytelling. Among her many talents as writer and author, shaman and shape-shifter, perhaps her greatest skill is that of the traditional story-teller. Here she weaves the folk-tales, history, lore and culture of the Old Ways into a spell-binding tapestry that will fascinates anyone who reads it. She brings old Merlin alive as we sit around the camp-fire of our imagination to be transported into another dimension in the footsteps of the most famous wizard of all time.
Rachel Patterson, author of Pagan Portals The Cailleach, Arc of the Goddess and The Art of Ritual : Elen presents her personal experiences and memories of this fascinating god and the connections he brings to her Welsh homestead in her usual friendly and easy to read style.
Dr Kevin Ashby, MA (Cantab) PhD (Warwick) :Elen tells us with eloquence and passion of a deep Being, the Merlin of her lives-long experience, whose wisdom we need today more than ever. A must-read for people of spirit everywhere!

This book is magical. Wonderfully researched, delightful to read. Anyone who is at all interested in Merlin would do no better than to start here. Perhaps her next book will give a more in depth look at the feminine principle, Vivien...

I've walked with Merlin all my life, but until I read this book I had no name for the kindly old man who has guided me or an adequate way to describe the way I perceive things since I was a toddler. I stopped trying to tell people about it when I realized they didn't approve, but as I've grown I've secretly nurtured it, and I'm glad I have. I feel like my relationship with Merlin will become even stronger having read this book.
