Morgan Le Fay

Morgan Le Fay is a mythical character who was first introduced to the world in Geoffrey of Monmouth's text Vita Merlini or The Life of Merlin. Geoffrey portrayed Merlin as a prophit and Le Fay as a Sorceress. Later, she became known as a fairy, priestess, dark magician, enchantress, witch, sea goddess, shape-changer, healer, and the half sister to King Arthur.

From all the different persona's Morgan was given, it is clear to see that her name was used in many made up tales. She was a mysterious womanly figure who posessed powers that were exciting and dangerous to people of the time. Her name would come about in the telling of children, and adult stories alike. Her name eventually descended into an literary metaphor for deviancy, evil and mischeif.
