 Merlin was also a magician (like The Magician - grandson).

 Glastonbury Grove was reffered to by Cooper as "The burial place of King
 Arthur", maybe burial place in the most important part there - maybe
 the Glastonbury Grove in Twin Peaks is an old indian burial ground where
 "Mike - the seer/shaman" is buried.

  Other references to kings was when Briggs in the series was drugged and
  talks about the white lodge he says "Even the King of Rumania couldn't
  attend" - what is so important about the King of Rumania? In a flashback
  Briggs has when describing his trip to the white lodge we see him sitting
  on a throne with a bunch of trees/plants around it (King Arthur's throne?)
  And also when he was drugged he asks "Which way to the castle?" - King
  Arthur's Castle?
