In this season-three opener Michael Papa Newton introduces Robert A. Johnson’s retelling of the Grail myth, focusing on the wounded Fisher King and the origin of Parsifal. We hear how the King’s injury renders the land barren and how nightly Grail ceremonies exclude him. Parsifal, raised by his mother Heart Sorrow in obscurity, is drawn to knighthood after seeing five knights. Naive and guileless, he encounters tents, fair maidens, King Arthur’s court, and the fearsome Red Knight. This episode ends with Parsifal’s victory and the beginning of his apprenticeship, setting up the Grail quest that will continue in the next segment.
