#Merlin

Scholars re-examined early Welsh poems from the 10th century and found that Merlin, or Myrddin, was portrayed as a nature-connected prophet. This suggests he was an early environmentalist.

These findings emphasize Merlin’s timeless importance as an environmental steward.

I have a #bird feeder almost right in my face while I'm #wfh. I keep being given bird identification guides/apps but studying those doesn't seem to #hyperfocus me. What I really want is a tech solution...

I have parts arriving to set up #frigate #security #cameras. Grabbing a still and identifying it a) as a bird and b) as a particular species still seems somewhat daunting (ObXKCD)

Except I now remember that frigate runs a (100% local!) #ai identification thing that sounds like it works pretty well. It can almost certainly tell me I have a bird. It can very likely run a script. That script can...uh....do whatever it is that #merlin does. Hm.

Eigentlich wollte ich hier sitzen, die Welt mit meinem Handy retten und kluge Beiträge schreiben. Stattdessen werde ich hypnotisiert von diesem kleinen Wesen, das mich so erwartungsvoll anschaut, als ob es seit Tagen nicht gestreichelt wurde. Verantwortungsvoll wie ich bin, lege ich mein Handy jetzt natürlich weg und rette zuerst diesen Hund – oder vielleicht rettet er ja gerade mich?

Ein kleiner schwarz-weißer Chihuahua liegt gemütlich auf einer weichen blauen Decke und schaut mit großen, erwartungsvollen Augen zur Seite. Eine Hand streichelt ihn sanft am Hals, während er den Kopf leicht schräg hält, als wünsche er sich mehr Aufmerksamkeit.

"Early poems about #Merlin portray him as #environmentalist, say scholars

Re-examination of #Welsh poems dating back to 10th century show #Myrddin as prophet concerned by human interactions with #Nature

"He is probably most often thought of today as a wizard, a shape-shifter or a mentor to the young King Arthur.

"But a detailed re-examination of Myrddin – Merlin – by Welsh scholars suggests he can also be considered an early British environmentalist deeply worried about human interaction with the natural world.

"Over the past three years academics from three Welsh universities have edited and translated more than 100 poems, all in Cymraeg (Welsh), about Merlin dating back as far as the 10th century.

"David Callander, who is based at Cardiff University’s school of Welsh, said some of the conclusions of the Myrddin Poetry Project challenged the modern view of the figure."
