Mylor Silvanus was a wizard.[1]

Etymology[]

According to legend, Saint Melor (called Mylor in Cornish) was a prince of Brittany whose uncle Rivod murdered his father to seize the throne and first maimed Melor, cutting off his right hand and left foot, but when Melor's prosthetic limbs began working like natural ones, Rivod sent an assassin to kill him. Veneration of Melor spread from Brittany to Cornwall where he has several churches dedicated to him.

Silvanus was derived from the Latin silva, "forest", and was the name of the Roman god of woods.[2]
