Although Mermaids are mythical creatures,

there have been many reported "sightings"

throughout history.

There are a few myths behind them

that may have led people to believe

they had actually seen one...

-------------------------------------------------

Mermaids and mermen are human down to the waist,

and fish-tailed below.

Mermaids love to sing, and they have beautiful voices

that carry easily over the waves.

They enjoy using corals and

empty shells for jewelry.

They also love to play with other fish.

The dolphins are their favorites.

When they get tired of swimming,

all they have to do is to grab the fin

of the dolphin and they are carried thru

the depths of the ocean.

However,they can be seen more often than not,

brushing out their long silky hair

while sunning on a lily-pad or rock.

-------------------------------------------------

Mermaids come in a variety of sizes and colors,

depending on where they dwell.

They can be found in the ocean, seas,

lakes and even rivers.

They are very skilled at hiding and can sense people before they themselves can be seen.

Mermen however, are very rarily seen.

They hide deep in the depths of the ocean to avoid

getting caught in the many traps

that people set to capture them.

Whereas mermaids will frolick anywhere

there is a body of water,

mermen prefer to stay in large bodies of water

where it is deep and dark.

--------------------------------------------------

Mermen, who are seen less often than mermaids,

sometimes are equally as fair skinned

or have a stormy appearance.

Mermen are more serious as they take their

responsiblities to protect the merpeople

very seriously.

Both mermaids and mermen, according to various legends,

are creatures that have the ability to change into human form.

Mermen and mermaids don't have any magical abilities in themselves,

but the King carries with him a trident that is magical.

The King of the Seas uses his trident

primarily to protect the merfolk

-------------------------------------------------

Mermaids are the guardians and avengers of women.

They can predict storms and future events.

Some can even grant wishes

They are great teachers of wisdom and knowledge

-------------------------------------------------

Water spirits have long been a mystery.

Stories of beautiful mermaids

drawing boats towards rocks

with their singing have been told for centuries.

-------------------------------------------------

Mermaids love humans but they know

the trouble that humans can bring,

so they keep a safe distance

-------------------------------------------------

Water spirits can replenish our energy.

They refresh and renew our spirits

-------------------------------------------------

The earth and our own bodies are

made up mainly of water.

Water is very essential to our existance.

Water is a symbol of creation

and purification.

------------------------------------------------

Undines are usually female.

The Undines work to awaken

our deepest emotions

They stimulate our compassion

and intuition.

They want us to enjoy life

to the fullest.

Just like guardian angels, each of us has

an undine to watch over our life

They will often appear to us in our dreams.

Listen for their secret message

to help guide you through your life.
