Abstract
An analysis of the pentangle and of Morgan le Fay in SGGK suggests that the poem is neither a reaffirmation of Christianity nor a tool of conversion, but a poem of religious synthesis in which paganism and non-Christian ideologies—like the Jewish Kabbalah—are presented as parallels to Christianity, not wholly appropriated or obliterated.
