During the neolithic, Celtics druids and kings used to be buried in a sacred place about twelve kilometers in diameter. This giant necropolis is what we call today "the forest of Brocéliande". Opposed to a modern, distorted vision of an amusement park, Franck Gardian invites us to comprehend the sacred dimension of that "greenness sanctuary" and describes the Mecca of this forest: their place names, their geographic disposal, their legends and the archetypes linked to it.

"Brocéliande is not an imaginary place for people keen on the Middle Ages or fascinated by Heroic Fantasy: this forest (located at 30 kilometers from Rennes) exists and represents a great field of experience for the knowledge of oneself" says Franck Gardian.  In this first part, the author proposes to analyze mythological figures of Brocéliande: Merlin, the shaman druid, king Arthur then Gawain, Percival, Ywain and Lancelot.

Who am I?
