Book Description

Publication Date: Oct 1 2008 | Series: Merlin Factor (Book 2)

Many generations have passed since the harrowing journey of Centurion Longinus, the Roman soldier who pierced the side of Jesus with his spear while the condemned one hung from the cross, as told in Longinus: Book I Of The Merlin Factor. Now, in Myrrriddin, it is the 4th Century A.D. A young boy, Myrriddin has found sacred relics of the early Christians in the ruins of an ancient Druid temple on the Isle Of Mystery in Old Britain. For reasons beyond his immediate comprehension, the lad connects with one item in particular; the Spear off Longinus, the very spear that pierced the side of Jesus and allegedly holds the power of Christ. The world would remember him as Merlin, the greatest Druid and Wizard of all time. The book follows the tale of the boy turned young man, as Myrriddin learns the power within his own being and the power within the Spear that speaks to him of ancient times and eternal knowledge. The book also follows the battles and trials with an old enemy, Creconius Mab, and new ones in the Christian church whose certain factions are bent on destroying the Old Ways and obtaining the spear and its powers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sequal that works Feb 24 2009

By Entertainment Enlightenment - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

The spear of Longinus returns in this sequel and finds it's way into the hands of Merlin of legend. I've read so many books and seen so many movies on the Excalibur story that I wasn't really hyped on reading yet another. But I was pleasantly surprised with this rendition, and found it refreshing. The story is compelling and engaging, and held my interest from cover to cover.

Many of the same spiritual ideas from the first book are present, and they are woven seamlessly into the story. The metaphysical practices of remote viewing and out of body experiences are explored, and once again reincarnation is a central theme.

If you enjoyed Longinus, then this book is a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery School Student Sep 23 2008

By Love Child 007 - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I found Myrriddin by Steven Maines to be one of the most though provoking and entertaining novels I've ever read. I found myself often pausing to ponder concepts and ideas Maines shares and teaches throughout this book.

Maines gently crafts his memorable characters from his prior novel "Longinus: Book 1 of The Merlin Factor" into the plot of this succeeding book.

Written in a similar vain to The Alchemist, besides being a great story that blends historical fact and fiction. This intellectual book is a must for any aspiring occultist or student of esoteric teachings.
