I have been told that I was a legendary ruler in England. Though I do like the idea, I am hesitant to believe such a possibility, of course, it took me a while to believe that I was Manfred von Richthofen, but I have many memories of being Manfred unlike this one. Maybe I was one of the people who the legend is based around. I have heard stories that King Arthur was a combination of several rulers. Well, anyway, here is a memory from a lifetime that I cannot place. It seems to fit in with the era of Arthur and the possible location of his whereabouts. Why do I say this, I was watching a special about the English and Welsh countryside. There were two places that were shown that sent chills up my spine. I knew that I had been there. I don't know the names of both places but one was a hilltop that rose up from a grassy plain and the other was western seacaost called Tintagel. I am sure that I have spelled that wrong. The television show said that King Arthur was rumored to have been around those regions, and that is why I even entertain the idea even though it may be so far fetched. I know that I had been in those places. Who knows, maybe I knew Arthur and was a close friend. Hiking on the coastal hillside I am standing on a ocean side cliff that is really green with vegetation. A trail winds up tightly up these cliffs. The day is bright and sunny. I am about 200 or 300 feet up from the beach level. I am used to these cliffs and I don't feel the usual fear I feel when standing near something this steep. A boy is coming up the trail. He is approximately 10 to 13 years old. His clothing is from an older time. His hair is light brown to partially blonde. His hair cut reminds me of one of the Henry plays by Shakespeare. The boy does not look at me as he walks up the narrow trail. He seems to be limping since he is walking with a staff in his left hand. He is walking up the trail in about a West North direction. It is about 9 or 10 in the morning. It is so green. So very very green everywhere. It reminds me of the place that I saw on TV called Tintagel. The boys clothes are wooven and dark shades of blue and burgundy. He looks like he is wearing a long sleeved shirt and some kind of tunic. He is also wearing something that covers his legs. He also seems to be wearing some kind of short cloak. Here are some pictures that I had a very strong emotional reaction to. I looked at them and I actually thought at first that I was going to say, "I remember being there when....and it dawned on me that I have never been to those places. It was very unsettling, but these are places that the legendary Arthur was supposed to have been around. All this proves to me is that I lived at one time in the lands where Arthur was supposed to have been. The photo of the cliffs is very much like the place that I described in the short memory of the boy coming up the trail. The book in which I found these photos is an encyclopedia about the Arthurian legends and after browsing through it, I have come to the conclusion that if I were Arthur, I would think that stories have gotten a bit mixed up and altered. If I have any more memories pertaining to this time and place, I will post them. Who knows what time will yield. See below. |

Since I last wrote about this lifetime I have gathered very little information except that the historical person Ambrosis Arelius seems to feel very familiar to me. I do have memory flashes of wearing Roman gear in a not so Roman setting. I also know that certain tasks that are attributed to King Arthur were tasks that only I could have carried out. So perhaps I am one of the people that the legend is based around. |
