Michael Scott – Fascinating Wizard Who Tutored The Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II
Jan Bartek – AncientPages.com – What can a Holy Emperor and a wizard possibly have in common? It may sound implausible that a magician tutored a Pope, but history tells an intriguing story revealing that the Catholic Church was not always an enemy of occult practices.
Everyone is familiar with Nostradamus, but there were many prophets in Europe. In Scotland alone, there were quite a few who had a talent for seeing the future. Brahan Seer, who lived in the 17th century, was Scotland's most famous prophet.
"Lailoken is portrayed as a mad prophet who lives in the woods. He is said to be a wild man and seer who spent his time in the Caledonian Forest, Scotland in the late 6th century." 1
Some speculate that Lailoken was no other than the real Merlin!
Michael Scott is largely forgotten today, and many may never have heard of him, but more than 800 years ago, he was a respected and admired man who became a legend during his lifetime. His influence stretched even beyond his death.
