Crazy or Nahhh?

These reading that we have done this week, The Mists of Avalon, is very interesting. Is anyone else as intrigued as I am??? I love that Morgan is a fairy priestess. However, the readings that are supposed to be due for tomorrow, they are a little crazy!!!! Viviane set Morgan up to sleep with her own brother!!! How disgusting. Before Morgan even takes apart of the ritual, she sleeps in some random woman's bed and the next morning, this older woman is checking to make sure her "cherry" is still there. Ughhhh. And then to sleep with a deer man with your body dyed a blue color and covered in blood?!?!?!?! It's definitely weird. They were extremely high on herbs and roots, must have been some strong weed. She had collapsed on the hill, but still while running with the deer and then becoming the deer. Sounds crazzzeeeeeeee. She should've needed a couple days to recuperate after that. Plus, y'all know she doesn't really eat anything, which just makes it worse. She should've had some serious munchies. She ate meat for the third time in like six or seven years??? That would've added to her being way out of it. Apart of me is so disgusted by this whole ordeal, but then it is also a sacred ritual. Don't some cultures do some crazy ass things when it comes to virginity and sacrifice??? Or am I just wrong?

Plus, we've seen something that we've never seen before about Excalibur. Excalibur is made from metal from a meteorite, and the sheath is made by Morgan, who used her magic. We always hear that Excalibur is given to Arthur through the Lady of the Lake, her hand appears above the water and Arthur must retrieve it from the hand. But, in this version, Arthur and Merlin and Kevin, whoever he is, actually go to Avalon to take apart in an oath before receiving Excalibur. He must rule fairly no matter what God is being blessed. Christian or Druid, Arthur must rule fairly. And we all know he does this.

I am intrigued by the magic that is being described in the Mists of Avalon. It is a lot nicer than any other readings we have done. I believe its because its explained a little bit more than in any other text we've read so far. But these readings are also the craziest we've read so far as well.
