Welcome, fellow grail seekers! I'm not exactly sure what a grail is, but I've been told that I've seen it. Let us quest together to find out not only what the grail might be, but our relationship to it and to each other. I'm one of those Celtic characters who we will be hearing about over the next couple of weeks and we may wonder what (if any) kind of real grail appears in our tales. And can we, the ancient British, claim the origin for it? What do the rest of you think?

If you have forgotten the blog protocol, I've been given a secret manuscript which I've had transcribed (I can't write, only blog) and then reproduced below. Good luck blogging!

P.S. If you've forgotten who you are (Goddess forbid), I've heard of a Dr. Mueller who may help you find yourself. Contact him here (amuel001@plattsburgh.edu)
