It is best to present this bio in Lady Galadriel’s own words:

On February 21, 1999, Lord Merlyn went into the arms of the Goddess following a fatal heart attack. He has left behind a vast legacy that spans almost all the metaphysical paths. Equally at home in a Wiccan Sabbat or high Anglican Mass, an alchemical laboratory or Masonic Rite, a Golden Dawn Lodge or Reiki Center, Lord Merlyn represented the best of the Renaissance man.

 

Initiated on the Summer Solstice of 1939 as the Priest of a family tradition in Essex, England, he also counted amongst his teachers Dr Israel Regardie, Manly P. Hall, W.E. Butler, Charles Seymour, and Dion Fortune. He was considered the worlds foremost expert on the subject of Enochian Language and Magick.

 

A graduate of Emory University in Atlanta, where he earned a PhD in Philosophy, and later a Professor Emeritus there as well, Dr Head also held doctorates from Oxford in England and Heidelburg University in Germany as well. Competent in over 29 languages, ranging from Greek, Latin, Egyptian hieroglyphics and hieratic, Sanskrit, Aramaic, Hebrew, Russian, French and German to Tibetan and modern Japanese, Dr Head could decipher almost anything from almost anywhere!

A true adept of the Western Mysteries, he dedicated his life to the Great Work, and fostered many groups which will carry on his legacy.

Due to his life work, many changes have been seen and felt within the public arena regarding the acceptance of magick. The world will miss this wonderful man and his light and wisdom, which were given to all who were truly seekers.

Many blessings to my teacher, father and mentor, as he journeys into the light...

I shall miss him
