  • 14. Arthur - The Rise and Fall of Camelot
    Apr 24 2026
    Arthur: The Fall of Camelot (Part III of the Arthurian Trilogy)

    Camelot was never meant to last.

    It rose from chaos…
    forged by a king chosen not by blood, but by destiny.

    A kingdom built on honour.
    A brotherhood bound by oath.
    A vision of something greater than the world that came before it.

    But even the brightest legends cast shadows.

    In this final chapter of the Arthurian trilogy, we follow the reign of King Arthur beyond the moment he draws the sword from the stone… into the rise of Camelot, and the slow, inevitable fracture that leads to its fall.

    From the formation of the Round Table and the golden age of unity…
    to the betrayal of Sir Lancelot and Guinevere…
    to the rise of Mordred and the final, devastating battle at Camlann…

    This is not a story of triumph.

    It is a tragedy.

    Because Camelot was not destroyed by monsters…
    nor by invading armies.

    It fell to something far more human.

    Love.
    Pride.
    Betrayal.

    And as the kingdom burns, and the Round Table breaks…

    A question lingers in the silence that follows:

    Was Camelot ever real?

    Or was it always destined to fade into legend?

    This is Part III of the Arthurian Trilogy.

    The rise has passed.
    The magic is gone.

    All that remains…

    Is the fall.

    Mythic Albion — where Britain's legends are not just remembered… but felt.

  • Easter: Between History, Faith and the turning of the Year
    Apr 4 2026

    Spring arrives quietly…

    The days lengthen.
    The earth softens.
    And across the land, life begins to return.

    For centuries, this moment has been marked as a turning point — a threshold between darkness and renewal. Today, we know it as Easter.

    In this bonus episode of Mythic Albion, we explore the layered history of Easter — from its roots in ancient seasonal observances, to its transformation into one of the most important festivals of the Christian calendar.

    We trace the origins of Pascha, its connection to Jewish Passover, and the decisions made at the First Council of Nicaea that continue to shape how Easter is observed today.

    Along the way, we examine the enduring symbols of the season — eggs, lilies, and spring itself — and how older traditions were absorbed, reinterpreted, and carried forward through time.

    This is a story not of one origin… but of many.

    A convergence of belief, tradition, and the natural world.

    Because whether through faith or through the turning of the year…

    Easter has always been about one thing:

    That after darkness… something returns.

    Mythic Albion — where Britain's legends still breathe in the mist.

  • 13. Merlin - The Prophet behind The Crown
    Mar 27 2026

    Before Camelot rose…
    before the sword was drawn from the stone…
    there was a figure who stood in the shadows of kings.

    He had no crown.
    No kingdom.
    And yet, without him… there would be no Arthur.

    He was called Merlin.

    A child born without a father.
    A boy who spoke of things before they happened.
    A man who moved between worlds — shaping destiny while never truly belonging to it.

    In this episode of Mythic Albion, we explore the legend of Merlin — the prophet, the kingmaker, and the architect of Camelot itself.

    From the crumbling tower of Vortigern…
    to the rise of Uther Pendragon…
    to the moment a young King Arthur unknowingly claims his destiny…

    This is the story of a man who did not rule…
    but decided who would.

    But Merlin's power came at a cost.

    Because to see the future is not to change it.

    And as Camelot rises, so too does the shadow of its fall.

    Guided by prophecy.
    Bound by fate.
    And undone… by the very magic he passed on.

    This is Part II of the Arthurian Trilogy.

    The story of the man behind the throne…
    and the silence he leaves behind.

    Mythic Albion — where Britain's legends still breathe in the mist.
