Camelot

Material aspects: As legends and myths take on a life of their own, sometimes bearing little relationship to the original occurrence, they become somewhat sanitized and personalized to fit with the patterns of society, at any particular time. Archetypal images, such as the authoritative king (arthur), the young knight (lancelot) setting out on a journey, or merlin the magician, thus become available through these dream characters to help us understand ourselves.
