Morgan le Fay, by Frederick Sandys, 1864, painting, oil on canvas. Morgan le Fay, is a powerful enchantress in the Arthurian legend. Early literary characterizations of Morgan do not elaborate her character beyond her role as either a goddess, sorceress, or a fay (an evil elf). Sandys interpretation is that of a sorceress, conjuring over a flaming vessel, cooking in a brazier, wearing a leopard skin, occult symbols on her garment, and occult books on the floor at her feet.
