I am a Mermaid

I live on the ethereal realm. Sometimes I visit planet earth and stay there for eons.

I splash in the waters and dive from the tops of island cliffs, deep deep into the sea.

I swim with my girlfriends, usually of three. We comb and braid one anothers hair. We each have special hand mirros made of mirrors from sunken ships and large clam shells.

I laugh and love and live in the sun. With energy heart full of joy I return to the ethereal realm. Time to play, out of day, to be in a fantasy of a child's dream. We will laugh and ride unicorns, fly with butterflies, and play until the break of day.

Mermaids on the Material Plane

Mermaids on the material plane. It is said that our ancestors
entered into the material plane,
and merges into plants, trees, and some even became mermaids.

Some such mermaids are believed to be in Scotland; The Blue Men
of the Muir. It is said they appear as adult males of great
beauty. They are friendly, and you may easily contact them using
your mind. They are slow to anger,
unless you desicate their waters. They may be contacted for
rituals and even to assist in the rescue of a
human lost at sea....

Eating Mermaids

History books claim what sailors were really seeing were manatees. The quote from Columbus' journal is always altered slightly depending on who's article is appears in. One such quote could be: "On the previous day when the Admiral went to the Rio del Oro he saw three mermaids which rose well out of the sea...they were not as beautiful as they are painted though they have something of a human face." The form of this statement leads us to believe that what they were actually referring to were manataees or dungons (manatees have spoon shaped tails and dungons tails look more like dolphins).

At one time manatees could easily be found in large groups lazily grazing around the coastline. --That was until they became hunted. Hunted for meat.

Mayan Indians of Guatemala called manatees "tek" and fequently dined on them. The meat was not only of good taste, but was also beleived to posessed supernatural powers. In fact the earbone was a special prize and was worn as a necklace to protect the wearer from evil.

Upon discovery, Spanish explorers also dined upon the manatees. Pirates who preyed upon the Spanish ships began hunting in large quantities and eating manatees. The Mayan had a special way of cooking manatees with a drying process and called it "bucan". The pirates became to rely upon this meat, hence being dubbed "bucanneers".

Manatees no longer play in the sun down the coastline of Mexico to Nicaragua. Years of hunting have led to large groups diminishing into much smaller groups, and instead of playing in the sun some have even become nocturnal. However, in a few spots in Florida you'll still find them out in the day -ready for play. Although illegal to even swim with, hunters still find it a "sport" to shoot these friendly creatures.

If you'd like to visit with a real manatee, visit "The Crystal River Florida Manatee Expidition", located in Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida. You'll even see LIVE MERMAIDS! The area set for live interaction with manatees (give them belly rubs), sometimes is occupied by a couple of mermaids! Actually these mermaids can turn into human just like Ariel from "The Little Mermaid". These mermaids are real humans, who wear a beautiful mermaid tail and swim with the manatees.

Scales and Hair - There's No Way!

=======Report of Deceased Mermaid=============
In 1931 on the Scottish island of Benbecula, a dead mermaid was found and buried near the shore by the sheriff. "The upper part of the creature was about the size of a wellfed child of three or four years of age, with an abnormally developed breast." She had long dark hair and white skin. "The lower part of the body was like a salmon, but without scales."
=========================================

Drawings of mermaids depict beautiful women with long hair and and tails of green scales, however, biology laws state it would be impossible for one to be both a mammal and a fish; to have both scales and hair.

Some imagists have decided this to be true and solved this little problem by drawing mermaids with blubber type tails; like that of dolphins or whales.

So if this thought becomes plausible, then possibly there were & are mermaids. Perhaps on an evolutionary scale we could be said to be derived from these people of the sea. Or Visa Versa, perhaps, in order to survive people took to the sea and as evolution shows, the human body adapted in shape and form to sea life. If you can imagine then what a true mermaid may look like.... Perhaps they do have hair, maybe it's more like a mane. Seals have whiskers don't they?? Mermaid females would still have breasts because they would still need to feed thier young. What would their noses look like? Would they have adapted and no longer needed oxygen, or perhaps they are just able to hold their breath for long periods of time?

People question why haven't we seen them? For one thing the Sea is a huge place, many fish species they have existed for hundreds or thousands of years are just now being discovered. Plus mermaids have human intelligence and they are cautious and avoid boats and "people".

The New Movie "AquaMarine"!

AquaMarine written by
Alice Hoffman 2002

Editorial Reviews @ Amazon.com
This wide-eyed, magical tale by distinguished author Alice Hoffman reflects the pale blue hue of two 12-year-old friends about to be parted at summer's end. Hailey and Claire have lived next door to each other and have been best friends all their lives, but now Claire's family is going to move away to Florida. The two hang out at the neighborhood beach club in the blistering heat, dreading the end of things. The Capri Beach Club, too, is coming to an end--neglected and shabby, due to be bulldozed at the end of the season. Despite the girls' fear of change, everything shifts with a summer storm. At the beach club the next morning, Hailey and Claire find that the storm has left its mark, filling the cloudy waters of the swimming pool with jellyfish and seaweed. Hailey boldly dives in and discovers that the waves have also brought a delicate blue and white mermaid who is extremely grouchy at her predicament. The girls scheme to return the fish-woman to the sea, but she obstinately refuses to leave the vicinity of Raymond, the handsome boy who runs the gift shop. Alarmed at the mermaid's growing weakness, Hailey and Claire extract her promise to go back to the sea in exchange for one evening with Raymond. They set up a blind date, dress her in a long blue dress to hide her tail, and take her to the rendezvous in a wheelchair. But the next morning the dying mermaid is in love, and the patio is full of partygoers. Can the girls sneak her past all those eyes to save her life? And will she let them? Young teens will be entranced by the strange dreaminess of this poignant little story about love and loss. (Ages 10 to 14) --Patty Campbell --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
