    Re: crossed bloodlines

    The last time I checked Merlin had no children in any of the tales or stories so how can you be a descendant of his? Granted I've meet a few people online who follow a Nordic pathway and claim lineage from one of the gods but that is different than claiming a blood lineage from one of them. Not trying to be an arse or discourage you but it really sounds like someone is pulling your chain here or playing you for a fool.

    I agree with Monsno.

    The reality is that most people of European descent can claim "lineage" to a number of famous and even mythological people throughout history. Most royal families of antiquity were prolific breeders with many children (legitimate and illegitimate) so their descendants are many.

    Take, for example, the Merovingians (the rumored descendants of Jesus Christ). Their mythology perpetuates them as having originated with a mysterious "Quinotaur" (sea creature) that mated with a human woman thus producing the first Merovingian, Merovee. Generations of Merovingians followed and their line continued through most of the major European royal families. Anyone who can trace their ancestry back to one of the Plantagenets of England can claim to descend from the Merovingians.

    Additionally there are many, many other historical figures with supposed "divine" origins whose descendents can be found in nearly every country on Earth. Most of the famous Greek families often claimed divine origins as did the Viking leaders.

    What I'm trying to say is that you may indeed be descended from any of these mythological/historical figures, but it is not unique. Crossing bloodlines, even supposedly divine ones, would hence affect most of the population of Europe, America and Australia if there were something inherently "super magickal" or "super terrible" about it as most of the Western World is descended from families whose origins are said to be divine.

    As for someone helping you find your bloodline crosses, well that's your job. There are so many tools at your disposal to become involved with your family's genealogy. Ancestry.com is a good place to start.

    You are entitled to you opinions. No offence is taken. Yet I feel some stories were left unwritten. no one has told me that there are unwritten ones i just feel them. I have encountered many odd things around me and it feels right even before i was given that information.

    Logically, and statistically speaking, I think it is very unlikely that it is true, and even if it was true, I think there is no way to know such a thing.

    For this to even be a possibility, too many conditions would have to be met ranging from the actual existance of a person by the name of Merlin outside of myth, the ability of gods to actually and literally takithe physical form of humans, the compatibility of genetics for gods and man to procreate, and the likelyness of that lineage lasting and ending up in a specific person or persons, to the way in which one would suss such a thing out.

    Personally, this smacks a bit too much of the dozen or so people I've met over the years that think they are the reincarnation of Cleopatra.

    “We still carry this primal relationship to the Earth within our consciousness, even if we have long forgotten it. It is a primal recognition of the wonder, beauty, and divine nature of the Earth. It is a felt reverence for all that exists. Once we bring this foundational quality into our consciousness, we will be able to respond to our present man-made crisis from a place of balance, in which our actions will be grounded in an attitude of respect for all of life. This is the nature of real sustainability.”

    I know this is off topic, but you've seriously met people who thought they were Cleopatra? I guess I thought that was just one of those bad sitcom stereotypes of people.

    All I know if the human mind can convince itself of anything and make oneself believe it. Unfortunately far to many allow that fantasy to run rampant and convince themselves they are godspawn or something similar. Unfortunately when you claim a lineage to a being that can't be proven to have existed and what is listed suggests no lineage could have come from him then it borders upon fantasy gone wild.
