Description For the Arthurian Theme Art Show at Enchanted Artists , I decided to use Marion Zimmer Bradley's interpretation of Morgaine, as it is my most favourite interpretation of the character. In "The Mists of Avalon", Morgaine, half-sister of Arthur, is a Priestess of the Isle of Avalon, having been seperated from her half-brother when they were still children. When Morgaine is of age, she participates in the Great Rite wherein, unbeknownst to the both of them, she is partnered with her half-brother and is impregnated with Mordred. Far from the scheming sorceress of some interpretations, Morgaine in the MZB tale is horrified by what has happened and definitely not happy about being with child.
