In the medieval Christian context in which the principal narratives of the Celtic wild man legend are preserved, the "madness" of the wild man is attributed to his feelings of guilt for having been responsible in some unspecified manner for the death of his comrades in battle, for the slaying of his sister's son, or for the obstruction of God's earthly emissary, the saint. While the wild man's lengthy tenure as a wretched forest exile is adequately explained as a period of expiation of sin in isolation from society, the medieval stories fail to account for the details of this figure's phenomenal transformation from warrior to madman to brilliant sage.

In the medieval Christian context in which the principal narratives of the Celtic wild man legend are preserved, the "madness" of the wild man is attributed to his feelings of guilt for having been responsible in some unspecified manner for the death of his comrades in battle, for the slaying of his sister's son, or for the obstruction of God's earthly emissary, the saint.

The lack of a plausible rationale for the wild man's remarkable metamorphosis into an archetypal poet-prophet during his painful sojourn in the woods strongly suggests that a substratum of pre-Christian Celtic narrative concerned with the native theme of the acquisition of knowledge through divine inspiration forms the main background to these tales. With this idea in mind, I have approached the fragmentary Welsh Merlin legend, which is the focus of my study, from a widely comparative perspective, examining closely not only the Celtic wild man legend itself, but also casting a much wider net that includes material drawn from early Celtic literature, continental and English Arthurian tales, and Old Norse mythology, as well as classical sources and contemporary research on Eurasian shamanism.

The process surrounding Merlin's madness and his subsequent attainment of the great gifts of poetry and prophecy closely resembles the mantic procedure by which such mythological figures as the Norse god Odin receive wisdom while suffering a form of ritual death and rebirth on the World Tree. Merlin also undergoes ritual death and rebirth in connection with the Cosmic Tree. His period of madness in the forest also finds close affinities with the initiatory experiences of the Eurasian shaman, whose frenzied behavior ultimately results in his attainment of great powers. Like the shaman, Merlin and his congeners use the World Tree as a means of accessing esoteric knowledge from the Otherworld.
