Merlin’s Isle! My Arthurian project

I share some of the vision and the hopes for my Arthurian epic!

[lmarie]

My soul stood up when you mentioned the need to reenchant the world through stories. Thank you for contributing to the reenchanting!

Hey Malcolm! I've just started learning the art of pipe smoking, and I'm loving the meditative state I get in when I'm just quietly smoking and reflecting. I'd love a video where you show your own personal ritual of smoking, from packing a bowl, to emptying it. Thanks for letting us have a glimpse in to your life!

"The problem of our times is to unshackle ourselves from reductive materialism, and to re-enchant the world". So beautifully said. Very much looking forward to the first part of your Arthuriad!

You're an absolute treasure Malcolm, at 30, my life as a brit has been characterised by a secular depression. A desperate search of wonder and meaning. As I've grown older, I've come to my own understanding of Him, and we speak from time to time. However, I struggle to find that magic around my local churches, they seem somehow shut off, the door always closed and the grounds empty.

When I sit back and light my own pipe, listening to your works and wisdom, I'm reminded that my search isn't in isolation, there are others such as Tolkien and yourself lighting the way.

How I yearn for works which are able to "slip past the watchful dragons of secularism"! I am looking forward to your Arthuriad more than I can say.

The great challenge of our age which is to shake off the shackles of reductive materialism and re-enchant the world! - Thank you!

The title "Merlin's Isle" conjures up such beautifully imaginative symbolism and landscapes in my mind's eye. What a wonderful couple of words.
Cheers, Malcolm. Will be smoking my Peterson with a pint in your honor tonight. Congratulations on the Rabbit Room collaboration.

“Baptize the imagination.” The enjoyment of listening to your words could only be bettered by the pipes you have also inspired me to pick up. Thank you!

Maggie, thank you x1, 000, 000 to the faithful filming of these moments. Your virtual and actual hospitality are splendid.

[SirShiv]

Sir, your channel is a treasure. Thank you for all of your hard work and attention!

[SuitAndTieGuy]

I hope England knows what a treasure it has in you. God bless you and your family, I wish you all the happiness in the world!

It is always a heart warming moment to ponder on another offering by Malcolm; accoutred in baccy burned weskit, puffing on a pipe and enjoying a pint of fine ale.

[bibliomania]

I cannot wait for these four volumes to be released!!! 🎉🥳, prayers for you and yours Malcolm 🙏

Re-enchant the world, could there be a nobler cause!

Although born in England i was not raised in an English house so, as a stranger in a strange land, have had to make an effort to understand 'The English'. As a child in the 70s, books were the door to the world and Lancelyn Green's Arthur was one constantly reread. This gave me the idea there was a music in England beyond the surface punk rock of class warfare. The better angels so to speak, excluded from the Comprehensive school classroom. As a teenager i hitchhiked around Britain, you could in those days, visiting ruined Abbey, Ancient stone circles, castles and in every city where there was one the Cathedrals. Where the belief was if one was still enough one could hear the Music they received from ancient times, today. Good luck with your book[s]. Safe sailing.

7:58 There's nothing to compare with the real thing, indeed. These younger generations have suffered from worldly efforts to diminish the light of truth and consequently have been "deprived of their inheritance in the gospel..." 9:57 Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, and we send our love and very best wishes for your efforts to make the complete series of Twelve. 💙 💞

Well, my morning workout lasted three playings of this little film, weights, running and Dr Guite- I’m fitter, now, in mind, body and soul! Thank you.

[wesb]

I always check out folks book shelves as well! lol You can learn a lot about someone by what they read. Great video as usual!

[mattrich]

I can't wait to get four first edition tales of King Arthur by Malcolm Guite! Thank you as always for the joy and education you share.

[paulwalker]

I can't wait to read it and see the illustrations Malcolm! Another rich trip to the study.
