“The once and future King”
King “Author” - you are the sovereign and the king of your life.
Arthur, son of King Ayedan McGabbran (not Uther Pendragon), was a warlord, not a king, born in 559 CE and killed post-597 CE, as per historical records like the Life of St. Columba and Celtic poetry.
Arthur’s name derives from Celtic “Arur”- tied to bear gods and Ursa Major. The constellation shift from Draco to Ursa Major reflects a cosmic reconnection to Sirius.
King Arthur was a mythical reality first, then a historical figure or figures played out that mythic archetype
Generally speaking, in these attempts we detect the so-called euhemeristic tendency, which has been taken up by modern scholars because of their irre- sistible impulse to reduce the superior to the inferior whenever possible. According to modern scholars, the figures found in myths and legends are merely abstract sublimations of historical figures, which have eventually re- placed the latter and become myths and fantastic tales. On the contrary, the opposite is true: there are realities of a superior, archetypal order, which are shadowed in various ways by symbols and myths. It may happen that in the course of history, certain structures or personalities will embody these realities. When this happens, history and superhistory intersect and integrate each other; human fantasy may then instinctively attribute the traits of myth to those characters and structures because reality has somehow become symbolic and symbol has become reality. In these cases, the euhemeristic interpretation totally subverts the true relationships. Here myth constitutes the primary element and should be regarded as the starting point, while the historical figure or datum is only one of the various contingent and conditioned expressions of this superior order of things.

Pendragon: Head Dragon
"Pendragon" derives from Welsh "pen" (head) and "dragon," meaning "chief dragon" or "head dragon." It was a title, possibly linked to a dragon standard or symbol of leadership, first recorded with Uther Pendragon in Geoffrey of Monmouth's "Historia Regum Britanniae" (c. 1136). Arthur, his son, is not called Pendragon; he is known as Arthur Pendragon only in some later traditions. Historically, Arthur likely had no family name, as surnames were not common then. His identity is tied to his father’s title in legend.
The dragon ties to Celtic mythology, where it represents power, protection, and the underworld. Mystically, it’s linked to the constellation Draco, seen as a cosmic guardian, and in occult traditions, dragons embody primal energy and spiritual transformation. Spiritually, Pendragon suggests a ruler with divine or magical authority, often associated with Merlin’s guidance in Arthurian legend. Occultly, it connects to alchemy, where the dragon symbolizes the mercurial spirit (Mercurius), representing duality and enlightenment. Some esoteric groups, like the Rosicrucians, interpret it as a symbol of the initiate’s mastery over inner chaos, aligning with the quest for the Holy Grail.
