Magickal Mermaids and Water Creatures: Invoke the Magick of the Waters

by D.J. Conway

Book Overview

Stories of the Mer-Folk, especially Mermaids, exist in nearly every culture around the world that sailed the oceans or large rivers. Human-like, except for their iridescent, scaly tails, Mermaids and Mermen have fascinated humans for thousands of years. Because the largest of these beings exist in the oceans, most people are not aware that smaller versions of the Mer-Folk live in inland rivers, streams, marshes, and large or small waterfalls.

For those interested in the mystical & magical side of Mermaids

Although there are a number of excellent books about Mermaids legends and art involving Mermaids from around the world and throughout history, I have not found that many publications about Mermaids from the mystical and magical points of view. D.J. Conway did a superior job in writing this book. Her suggested meditative techniques are easy to understand and work with. She breaks down the different types of sea beings into good and friendly ones, as well as identifying and cautioning the reader of potentially harmful sea beings and spirits. I personally do not know of any other author that fairly and specifically breaks this topic down. I do recommend this book!

Quite Fascinating

I've been fascinated with mermaids all my life. I have recently been trying to collect as many books as possible for my personal library. A couple of months ago, my obsession turned to mermaids. I ordered this book and another that mostly contained pictures. If you're looking for facts on mermaids, mermen, and other types of merfolk (there are more than you think), this book is for you. This book contains several mermaid legends from around the world. It covers the different types of water folk, grouping them by the waters they inhabit: Rivers, Small Streams and Waterfalls, Desert and Arrid Regions (Who knew?), Swamps, Fens, and Wetlands, and finally Lakes. There is also a section of other kinds of water creatures, such as dolphins and hippocampus. In addition to these facts, there are sections on how to contact merfolk and use water magick. None of which I have tried yet but maybe someday. Even if you find that a little ridiculous, the book is worth it for the other information it supplies. There are illustrations, in black and white, most from Clipart. If you're looking for a book with mostly pictures of mermaids, I recommend Mermaids (Magical Beings) by Elizabeth Ratisseau.

Magickal Mermaids And Water Creatures: Invoke The Magick Of The Waters

Love the author's presentation. It make you feel like you are one with the mermaids. I don't like to read much. But this book got me reading page by page. I wish it has color illustration on the mermaids. The books discuss all aspect of mermaids and all kinds of merfolk and water creature.

Conway has worked in the fields of magick and Paganism for over forty years: her background lends to Magickal Mermaids And Water Creatures: Invoke The Magick Of The Waters: a collection of stories about the Mer-Folk which exist in nearly every water culture the world over. Ocean mermaids have influences on the weather and water alike: their secret powers and how to find and use them are revealed in a unique coverage not to be found elsewhere.
