Do you think that Arthurian Legend can be ‘divinely inspired’ like traditional religious texts? I mean especially from an esoteric Christian perspective, since there is a lot of mysticism based on Arthurian legend.

Neoplatonism is just platonism
Platonism is inspired by pre-socratic thought
The first greek philosopher Miletus is said to have been taught in egypt


Well, Arthurian legend is at its core the celtic mythology of 'Albion', and Celtic mythology originates from Indo-European mythology.
In indo european myth there is no concept of divine revelation, only Hinduism which developed from indo european myth has a concept of the vedas being divinely inspired.
So you can kinda claim it but also kinda can't

But is it just that really? Yeah sure it makes up a large part of the stuff in it, especially in its older form, but what exactly do you mean by core? Arthur himself is a 100% post-Christian figure, from very the start of when we can call ‘Arthurian legend’ ‘Arthurian’ (since you know, it featured Arthur and the main premise) the pagan elements were all pulled from different stories and sources and they were woven together by this Christian narrative, which is explicitly a Christian propaganda against the invasion of pagan Anglo-Saxons. Arthurian legend was about Christian spirituality meshed together with old pagan ideas from its Celtic conception, so the idea of Christian revelation being mixed in with these elements at its core isn’t too crazy. Even Merlin wasn’t just based on druids but on two prophetic bards of the Christian Era, again emphasising that’s a lot of it is from the merging of pagan tradition and folk Christian theology. 

Also the elephant in the room, most of what we know as ‘Arthurian legend’ did not come from the original Celtic version (that we really don’t know that much of) but came far later in the High Middle Ages. Arthurian legend as we know it is arguably far more French than British, and you can argue that it’s a pan-European myth or even beyond since many European countries contributed to the myth as we know it and they took things from a variety of sources. Tristan and Isolde was also actually based on Persian, not Celtic, myths.

The hard ridiculous division between pagan and Christian elements in culture is a very modern idea, these things just merged together naturally and what was pagan became part of folk-Christianity, world views organically evolve and merge not enter hard distinctions.

Anyway, divine inspiration can be ‘natural’ and not lucid.
