Merlin became famous within the Arthurian cycle, for being the person who was entrusted with little Arthur after his birth to be raised as the future King of Great Britain. It is believed that Merlin is not his real name but it is a nickname. His real name is Taliesin who was also the master of Morgana. Arthur’s half-fairy stepsister with magical powers. Both lived on the mysterious island of Avalon, a land hidden from mortal eyes because it was imbued with magic that could not be revealed. Avalon was in fact hidden by a thick blanket of mists {the famous mists of Avalon}. But perhaps not everyone knows that the legend is true, as Merlin the Wizard was a real-life character. It is said that Master St Germain was an incarnation of the Wizard Merlin.
