Uncanny pic: A wizard is conceived

Posted on September 17, 2011 by UncannyUK


Today’s Uncanny Pic is a bit saucy. From a 14th century illuminated ‘Histoire de Merlin’ we see the Arthurian wizard’s mum being seduced by the demon that will conceive him. I don’t think BBC TV’s Merlin is supposed to be half-devil, but then again those big sticky out ears are a bit of a giveaway!
