Druid hands over sword in bid to promote peace
A DRUID who had to fight a legal battle to get his sword back after police confiscated it has now handed the weapon in to promote world peace. Merlin Williams used his blunt sword, Taliesin, to create a circle of safety around members of the druid order at ceremonies. The sword had been consecrated for use in the religious ceremonies, which are often held in Portsmouth. They either take place on the beach or by the bandstand near to the Blue Reef Aquarium in Southsea.
