Magic or Mystic?

Merlin got his ability to know the past from Satan, making him a witch who uses magic. However he then has the ability to know the future, which he got from God, making him a mystic. Since he has both abilities from different sources what would Merlin be? A witch or a mystic? What would he be tried as?

Music for Merlin

I really like to listen to instrumental music while writing or reading. While I read this long reading on Merlin, I was listening to the Game of Thrones soundtrack, and found the tone to be very fitting. This song especially was a joy to listen to towards the end of the reading, with the quote:

"His cry came from the pain he felt when he realized that he was being killed by a woman's cunning and that a woman's craft had defeated his own. The echo of the cry was heard throughout the length and breadth of the kingdom of Logres..."

Nothing better than a woman defeating a man who thinks he knows everything! To make this song even more befitting (for any GoT fans), this is the song that was playing during the scene where (SPOILER ALERT) Cersei killed off a massive amount of people in a church to save herself. This super long song has a super slow beginning that builds to a great climax of instrumentals, so if you're going to play it in class, I would recommend starting around 8:15 to see how grand it gets!

Margery: A Crybaby? Or A Savage?

Margery's life seems to be very strange to me as she is nothing like Julian or Hildegard. She was raised middle class, didn't learn to ready, and clearly loved sex. She reminds me loosely of Mary Magdalene but not as a prostitute. Margery never became an anchoress either. She was just a plain woman, for the most part who had a vision of God some time after giving birth to her own child. Which is understandable for the time and ibuprofen or morphine hasn't been invented yet so I can relate to her almost losing her mind. I also found it interesting that she found her own way of devoting herself to God through prayer and tears. This isn't a discussion question but why? Is it because she thought her sins kept her from doing so? She is no mere woman for she also had a business or two (though they failed), and "wrote" her own book. She gave birth to 14 children and tried to hold a vow of chastity (though her husband was a dick about it). Margery is a special mystic in her own right though she took a different path compared to the other mystics we have learned so far.
