box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.375px; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 19.26px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Once upon a time, there were two princes. Of the two men, Hoori was the great hunter, and Hoderi, the famous fisherman. Rain or shine, Hoderi always returned home with fish, and Hoori, the greatest marksman to walk the earth, ensured that no villager went hungry. But, despite Hoori’s prowess amongst huntsmen, he longed to be like his brother. He too desired to snag something extravagant from the sea, so Hoori asked Hoderi to borrow his boat and lucky fishing hook. But after an entire day spent casting and praying for a bite, Hoori went home empty-handed. Even worse, he’d lost his brother’s lucky hook.<o:p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.375px; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 19.26px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Hoderi was angry with his brother. He threatened to take Hoori’s horse and bow if he didn’t find and return his hook. Knowing that he could not hunt without his lucky charms, Hoori dove to the bottom of the sea. He swam and searched but found no hook, just a curious mermaid named Toyotama. Her name meant ‘beautiful jewel,’ and she was the sea god’s daughter. Although Hoori had not found what he’d been hunting for, he’d discovered something mightier than steel or bow – <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">he found</i> <a href="https://tamedwild.com/collections/all/products/modern-witchcraft-guide-to-love-spells" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;"><i style="box-sizing: border-box;">love</i></a>. Hoori and Toyotama made a home beneath the waves, and for a few years, he thought of nothing but his desire for the sea god’s daughter.<o:p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.375px; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 19.26px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">But after three years of living in underwater bliss, Hoori began to miss his royal life on land. Sensing the young man’s discontent, the sea god went to Hoori and bid him farewell. As a parting gift, he retrieved the missing hook from his pocket and handed it to the prince.<o:p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.375px; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 19.26px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Once Hoori returned the hook to his brother, the prince decided to build a new home for Toyotama. The mermaid was pregnant with their son and had requested a cozy, secluded room to usher in new life. Unlike other princesses, Toyotama did not concern herself with trivial demands like silk bedsheets or dressing gowns embroidered with gold thread. She only asked that Hoori make himself scarce during their son’s birth.<o:p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.375px; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 19.26px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Women often labored alongside other women, so Hoori was not surprised by her request for privacy. However, on the day their son was born, he could not resist the temptation to peek into her bedchambers. When Hoori <a href="https://tamedwild.com/collections/all/products/evil-eye-necklace" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;">spied</a> on Toyotama, he discovered that she was not a mermaid, nor was she a human – she was a dragon.<o:p style="box-sizing: border-box;"></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.375px; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 19.26px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Devastated by her husband’s betrayal, Toyotama knew the cure for a broken heart could only be found in the <a href="https://tamedwild.com/products/silver-wave-ring?_pos=1&_sid=dfcd0fe2a&_ss=r" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;">sea</a>. She left their newborn in Hoori’s care and returned to her underwater lair. Legend says that the child grew up to be a fine hunter, fisherman, and eventually, father to Japan’s first emperor, Jimmu Tenno.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.375px; line-height: 19.26px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">(Reference: Tamed Wild site: </span></span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.375px;"><a href="https://tamedwild.com/">https://tamedwild.com/</a>)</span></span></p></div>Lady Caer Morgannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13945186529772807913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2592544249874681629.post-70518269546884536572022-08-14T15:25:00.005-07:002022-08-14T15:55:59.401-07:00Atargatis: The First Mermaid<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibp3Upusoj3vsug4UhdHsQI4mfTO15iMPBJn7N-TQCzTqjjpk6r1nszweTVCTldfLMs2plZVBTxuZnomz8xpcAVdHd63F92OeIcHS-tHGQ1BYMbYd_NxrQDw4KmGWORfuDtpyuMqLcjK94aNDRFhKHeQT_6Ulkd5pEmY63DdfHO2wO3Ah9WZrR36XmVQ/s820/atargatis.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="820" data-original-width="640" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibp3Upusoj3vsug4UhdHsQI4mfTO15iMPBJn7N-TQCzTqjjpk6r1nszweTVCTldfLMs2plZVBTxuZnomz8xpcAVdHd63F92OeIcHS-tHGQ1BYMbYd_NxrQDw4KmGWORfuDtpyuMqLcjK94aNDRFhKHeQT_6Ulkd5pEmY63DdfHO2wO3Ah9WZrR36XmVQ/w500-h640/atargatis.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><p><b><u><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">THE FIRST MERMAID IS ALSO CALLED GODDESS OF THE SEA</span></u>:</b></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><b>In Ancient Roman times, Atargatis was was beautiful and powerful priestess who fell in love with a human shepherd boy.

This, of course, is the real question, isn't it? WHY are we so intrigued by Mermaids and Mermen? Merfolk appear in the mythology of every land and throughout history. Yet, people doubt their existence. "Mers" have a water-sensate appeal which may well go back to the emergence of the mammal from the sea. If we indeed came from the sea, the merfolk may be a sort of missing link between sea and land creatures. Even though we consider merfolk as myths, the half mammal-half fish form does appear in nature, as in seals which combine both sea and land characteristics. Furthermore, human blood is nearly half salt water and the human body is mainly fluid in content. Perhaps it is fair to say that we are, in fact, the first cousins of the legendary mers.</span></span><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS-df5iPEwB57YHrvCgpwr2piTB7Xtd-N7vKBFHlQLObrvKS1dJIMxgOHUfOH3xcoTMTsPFP7Xr284vVtLfaZ984_fliDJsGoE9spzoRdTH4fQDySQRR2i3DX9ZmeJXrXr_aad52PIVN59UgGhiqGP99VuNLYrK9l7V_lNEih66GL3JEPBYZI2gOoVfg/s426/mermaidchronicles.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="265" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS-df5iPEwB57YHrvCgpwr2piTB7Xtd-N7vKBFHlQLObrvKS1dJIMxgOHUfOH3xcoTMTsPFP7Xr284vVtLfaZ984_fliDJsGoE9spzoRdTH4fQDySQRR2i3DX9ZmeJXrXr_aad52PIVN59UgGhiqGP99VuNLYrK9l7V_lNEih66GL3JEPBYZI2gOoVfg/w398-h640/mermaidchronicles.png" width="398" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">(Reference: Mermaid.Net)</span></p></div>Lady Caer Morgannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13945186529772807913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2592544249874681629.post-85173360410751547842022-06-26T12:11:00.003-07:002022-06-26T12:11:36.869-07:00C.M.von Webber, Oberon, Mermaids song, K.Fuge and C.Mobbs<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/McChnl1NNAM" style="background-image: url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/McChnl1NNAM/hqdefault.jpg);" width="480"></iframe></div>Lady Caer Morgannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13945186529772807913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2592544249874681629.post-16520380733323420682022-06-26T12:07:00.002-07:002022-06-26T12:07:27.063-07:00Dance of the Mermaids Song of the Sirens<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://youtube.com/embed/QWhYGulA42c" style="background-image: url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QWhYGulA42c/hqdefault.jpg);" width="480"></iframe></div>Lady Caer Morgannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13945186529772807913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2592544249874681629.post-30303117158595360892022-06-26T09:52:00.004-07:002022-06-26T10:24:28.820-07:00The Mermaid Chronicles - Part Three: The Sea Bar<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJS2DxDHyP8ft4En2XxmCjsX3P6jYk48KC0hWpc7O5uwI4N5eb8HhGUZgv4lmRxKBugKd70ZkWW-BCz969M57sKrULo9mEXIH9CUI0QLeEYXqvCASGDpvs7W8xduukAvXhobMSg7UXOjJLGt4yKYQ1Epvcgs3Zn9eRo-WFPJnfB8GmNUFMjDTFyqE0Ng/s720/Mermaid-Water-Rum-Punch-Cocktail-Recipe-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="478" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJS2DxDHyP8ft4En2XxmCjsX3P6jYk48KC0hWpc7O5uwI4N5eb8HhGUZgv4lmRxKBugKd70ZkWW-BCz969M57sKrULo9mEXIH9CUI0QLeEYXqvCASGDpvs7W8xduukAvXhobMSg7UXOjJLGt4yKYQ1Epvcgs3Zn9eRo-WFPJnfB8GmNUFMjDTFyqE0Ng/w265-h400/Mermaid-Water-Rum-Punch-Cocktail-Recipe-2.jpg" width="265" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">The Sea Bar: Mermaid Spirits</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><u>Mermaid Water:</u></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Blue Curacao - 20 ml.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Vodka - 20 ml.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Grapefruit juice - 20 ml.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Pineapple juice - 20 ml.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Lemon - 10 ml.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">a splash of sprite</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><u>The Shipwreck</u>:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">8 oz.

Oh yes, they are quite real. There are so many different types of mermaids the average human would be quite surprised. But, I as well was also surprised when I found so many of my kind on the internet. It seems like many artists, photographers, scientists, and mermaid enthusiasts were not to far from the truth when they spoke or drew about mermaids. Although this page will be referring to merfolk in general, the term "mermaid" will be mostly used to signify the entire species because if the majority of merfolk popularity revolves around the females.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">This portion of <i>The Mermaid's Lagoon</i> will educate users about the different species of mermaid. This document is a brief outline of all the known mermaid species in the world. When the term "known" is used, this refers to all the previously documented, photographed, artistically rendered or witnessed species in the world, under the scientific name "Sirenius".</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><u>Asian (Haitian) Mermaid</u></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i style="color: #0b5394;"><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Sirenius Hindusexei</span></b></i></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUKsT9RiaEDiJ2cfZiRS1qCx68KqI_LsauiLnT5U1jYDI2elCol-b98WTVwVgfkIC01I3vJ2JDSP6-sINYpkRYBPeaNALM0tqcziInAVqB6Nb6zr5znk3sypsWhQ-8liT1Lred63_-xeBNrJuc-ZyryBLAa62vI9oyz2jEWE3L4vXjG2ReBYMzshdzQ/s365/asianmermaid.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="365" data-original-width="282" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUKsT9RiaEDiJ2cfZiRS1qCx68KqI_LsauiLnT5U1jYDI2elCol-b98WTVwVgfkIC01I3vJ2JDSP6-sINYpkRYBPeaNALM0tqcziInAVqB6Nb6zr5znk3sypsWhQ-8liT1Lred63_-xeBNrJuc-ZyryBLAa62vI9oyz2jEWE3L4vXjG2ReBYMzshdzQ/w309-h400/asianmermaid.png" width="309" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Also referred to as the "Haitian" mermaid in eastern waters, this mermaid species has been seen in the southern Caribbean sea, in and around Hawaii, and most of all in the far western Pacific and Northern Indian oceans, off the coast of Southern China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Northern India. This mermaid's origin is speculated to come from Asian/Polynesian descent due to the common facial features. Her nether portion is deep vibrant orange or golden red, with large visible scales all the way down to her two fluked tail. These mermaids do not have any vocal cords, but have a complex sign language based on tail and other body movements.</span><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><u>Butterfly Mermaid</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: times;"><i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Sirenius Pletfagigantus</span></b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfEx7evRJjUtCf_s-SFhTcpxlKpHFY9eEAwttZLObhFn_OT8XnOkkbn_BkY_Nw81ogFRvksR2uiNgqooiCTk9yv4rOlCPvYUO5x07cEOqY7Xh6y0_8KXAMUJsAe1NtHieFwgx_XWZ-4QcHmL_LMHSCfZ57S3qyMON-Y6d87Q40oJ7ucH4ZENiMPQv7vw/s456/butterfymermaid.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="456" data-original-width="447" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfEx7evRJjUtCf_s-SFhTcpxlKpHFY9eEAwttZLObhFn_OT8XnOkkbn_BkY_Nw81ogFRvksR2uiNgqooiCTk9yv4rOlCPvYUO5x07cEOqY7Xh6y0_8KXAMUJsAe1NtHieFwgx_XWZ-4QcHmL_LMHSCfZ57S3qyMON-Y6d87Q40oJ7ucH4ZENiMPQv7vw/w393-h400/butterfymermaid.png" width="393" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">The Butterfly mermaid is more temperate than other mermaids, living only off the coast of southern Japan in relatively cool waters. These mermaids are comprised entirely of females making them one of the first single-sex species, using the same sex couples to procreate. There have been many different sub-species including a catfish-like species so it has not been confirmed the exact number of differences there are. All mermaids have specific colored spots and patterns on both their nether and back area, indicating house and status. These mermaids are quite intelligent, but are ignorant to human civilization. They live and interact in village groups with the ruling mermaid wearing the proudest pattern.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><u>Cagle Mermaid</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: times; font-size: large;"><i><b>Sirenius Cagliusii</b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: helvetica; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX2v-7uOTInfn1KRFH5_2P-pFOO_yVHcRTxcnxEjsi45GZjjwGFnWXwg1hFJslA-E9S4gkS0A1sPMbq0AE1q_gyqgUbDAyvZ2ndZt7TnHv-vyPiBdQ67Hect0go57zdexATeo7VcrTQb4LCPxkMqa4dSs0CNoPaYaSzB0biB4MKmo3ERh3VwQMmZMl3A/s433/caglemermaid.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="295" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX2v-7uOTInfn1KRFH5_2P-pFOO_yVHcRTxcnxEjsi45GZjjwGFnWXwg1hFJslA-E9S4gkS0A1sPMbq0AE1q_gyqgUbDAyvZ2ndZt7TnHv-vyPiBdQ67Hect0go57zdexATeo7VcrTQb4LCPxkMqa4dSs0CNoPaYaSzB0biB4MKmo3ERh3VwQMmZMl3A/w273-h400/caglemermaid.png" width="273" /></a></div><br /><div style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;">The Cagle mermaid is similar to the Green mermaid, but because of more human characteristics the species has it's own genus. Some of their characteristics include human genitalia, the scale merging beginning below the thighs, and more human-like behavior patterns compared to others. Because of their great similarities to humans, males find them irresistible when encountered. Cagle mermaids like to adorn themselves with jewelry when found and love to taunt sailors and male swimmers while out at sea. Their tails are mostly green in color, but some teal and blue Cagles have been spotted. Found in almost all warm waters of the both oceans, they seem to be very prolific travelers - from being spotted off of the coast of Hawaii to areas the Great Barrier Reef. Discovered by artist Kurt Cagle, who has drawn and photographed many of these mermaids.</div><div style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: center;"><u>Caribbean Mermaid</u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-family: times;">Sirenius Mammalius</span></b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><i><b><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></b></i></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; text-decoration-line: underline;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWYNoZnbhqepCh-jDqxvYawtvca-uJcnV-IzwffeDmbk0yOMCz3-4wlkF5MGc15RTWkIoEmFkdqFEr9A9Pqo7st9xNHZBIuA-AEGP5ngsAdvO79rohvoJqS3V88aiat2Sw6kq8meRFRNNjgpKpPrE91I2WLFGQKJZeBQWguWDSprc0QwBsrD9bRmL9xw/s418/caribbeanmermaid.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="418" data-original-width="320" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWYNoZnbhqepCh-jDqxvYawtvca-uJcnV-IzwffeDmbk0yOMCz3-4wlkF5MGc15RTWkIoEmFkdqFEr9A9Pqo7st9xNHZBIuA-AEGP5ngsAdvO79rohvoJqS3V88aiat2Sw6kq8meRFRNNjgpKpPrE91I2WLFGQKJZeBQWguWDSprc0QwBsrD9bRmL9xw/w306-h400/caribbeanmermaid.png" width="306" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">One of the most exquisite species of them all, Caribbean mermaids are one of the most alluring, beautiful creatures in the world. As the name implies, these mermaids were first discovered in the Caribbean, but can be found as north as Cape Cod in north-eastern United States or as south as Venezuela. The most stunning characteristic is their dark vibrant red tail, usually patterned with golden streaks outlining the curvatures of the mermaid's pectoral and ventral fins and lower torso. These mermaids are known for their large two-fluked blackened tails, long blonde thick hair, and round firm large breasts. They can create breathable atmosphere for humans under water by ejecting special acids and fluids into a person's mouth via the lips. These mermaids are also known for their sexual allure and like to play and tempt males of their kind. Only recently they were exposed to mankind.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><u>Fantail Mermaid</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i><b>Sirenius Kaudlacolare</b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: times; font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheJU0N3SHhDXlqaMBjsog2tyT833LK_zihEEVVWGtSBoKWQfnb76nNA9UX3kcwWvJbTXuut23SPNXYnXMa5tNwMfIG4m5Ricqj-Zt9Q2mPPe6vY4vwOCyTk8Gz8j4SZosxgrCWOsCmaS34W1mjizLxr5nLyom0-eCS8mBXAmyeZoCnP1wOgBdQ5gmRtg/s425/fantailmermaid.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="382" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheJU0N3SHhDXlqaMBjsog2tyT833LK_zihEEVVWGtSBoKWQfnb76nNA9UX3kcwWvJbTXuut23SPNXYnXMa5tNwMfIG4m5Ricqj-Zt9Q2mPPe6vY4vwOCyTk8Gz8j4SZosxgrCWOsCmaS34W1mjizLxr5nLyom0-eCS8mBXAmyeZoCnP1wOgBdQ5gmRtg/w360-h400/fantailmermaid.png" width="360" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The Fantail mermaids consider themselves to be the royalty of the sea. Although they only occupy a fairly small amount of territory, just a few portions of the Great Barrier Reef, they present themselves as the highest and most intelligent species in the ocean. These are the most naïve of all mermaids, believing that they have the perfect society ruled by a single monarchy, the Queen, in their beautifully constructed coral castles. No human or any other merfolk has ever been very far into their territory - scuba divers are driven out by force or by seduction, whichever the mermaid guards wish. The male fantails are the minority, but only by a small percentage. Their society is based on female superiority. The origins of this species are unknown.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><u>Freshwater Mermaid</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><i><b><span style="font-family: times;">Sirenius (Nympha) Pisciformosa</span></b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><i><b><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><i><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw-c2U1uYIQ5rh3N3qhCjLHqVVT8u0DZJ_sJ9cRVXhdXywJv_DOAF2J-V5Hc5nwvoIzkE-jkrq1QhYB-9IZ8VecsBDSW2COIbckemnAex2ScdBE59lVp5e3wksMDmRYf-zU8V8Za26jEsQaPinxe2GHUzz9lkRtBOV0XutlX2gwM9ZuA2bekXhPbHmUA/s431/freshwatermermaid2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="431" data-original-width="327" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw-c2U1uYIQ5rh3N3qhCjLHqVVT8u0DZJ_sJ9cRVXhdXywJv_DOAF2J-V5Hc5nwvoIzkE-jkrq1QhYB-9IZ8VecsBDSW2COIbckemnAex2ScdBE59lVp5e3wksMDmRYf-zU8V8Za26jEsQaPinxe2GHUzz9lkRtBOV0XutlX2gwM9ZuA2bekXhPbHmUA/w304-h400/freshwatermermaid2.png" width="304" /></a></div><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The Freshwater mermaid lives in the lakes and rivers of the British Isles, northern Europe and the Caspian Sea. Their known characteristics are silvery scaly tails, similar to salmon, and a dual fluked or veined caudal fin. It is said to have a talent for healing. Diseased fish are reputed to be very quickly healed merely by contact with its' skin. These mermaids are elusive enough to trick many by mimicking the color change and pallor of death. When the danger has passed, which has led to the belief that this species can rise from the dead. Unfortunately, these characteristics have rendered them desirable - the scales are highly prized amulets. These mermaids live separate from the males and only mate twice a year when they swim out of sea.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><u>Green Mermaid</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i><b>Sirenius Sirenius</b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;"><u><i><b><br /></b></i></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><u style="font-family: times;"><i><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVeFeNrQYykU0yQN_jgprlD2ZKIKaJttWPkWYXmLxJGz09cl8yMdtiC4MJHiMP5Uj6OD362C2ORFg1_mpbgFiVvqnrX6WJhUroZkbXdZR1mkgaLoMs6f4m-py0sDAM6V9DJxSL0PDQ5Y-CnQ8t4gGVjNdXY0GlDh7_cDHSqaw0sTQtncEIWOe4Sza7Q/s410/greenmermaid3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="350" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVeFeNrQYykU0yQN_jgprlD2ZKIKaJttWPkWYXmLxJGz09cl8yMdtiC4MJHiMP5Uj6OD362C2ORFg1_mpbgFiVvqnrX6WJhUroZkbXdZR1mkgaLoMs6f4m-py0sDAM6V9DJxSL0PDQ5Y-CnQ8t4gGVjNdXY0GlDh7_cDHSqaw0sTQtncEIWOe4Sza7Q/w341-h400/greenmermaid3.png" width="341" /></a></div></i></u><span style="text-align: left;"><div style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;">Long hair, dazzling eyes, full round breasts, and the sudden transition from golden skin to green scales is the most common description of a typical mermaid. Known before as just a "mermaid", Green mermaids are probably the most widely known sirens seen throughout all the major bodies of water. There has been much decline in sightings of these mermaids, probably due to the fact of the industrialization of society over the last century. Green mermaids have a society similar to the human monarchy where the mermen (more commonly known as "tritons") have majority and control over the society. Many variations have been observed over the centuries - mermaids with long tails, transitional membranes, scaled fins, even some with two tails like the French mermaid Melusine. Many fairy tales and folklore are based on Green mermaids - probably the most famous one being Disney's "The Little Mermaid" Ariel.</div><div style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: center;"><u>Indo-Pacific (Skin) Mermaid</u></div><div style="font-family: times; text-align: center;"><i><b>Sirenius Epidermius</b></i></div><div style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: center;"><u><br /></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYgpd037E_-lZX52hhNIc2o8mWfu2qbKhYudL7m2ou5Wek0VCUxOteDAh-8iWQb3fhPKgyO7RLVDPYm7Mna9JO0fN0RZmJZIPWiByDgbx2mCx6maWG7PfunqAH0rkfpzU3GbqJ6_Jno4Vj47fhSU8HHrEbFaXVxC98a3vlvKWp1JlBGWQNPbtZN-B9fg/s368/skinmermaid.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="368" data-original-width="264" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYgpd037E_-lZX52hhNIc2o8mWfu2qbKhYudL7m2ou5Wek0VCUxOteDAh-8iWQb3fhPKgyO7RLVDPYm7Mna9JO0fN0RZmJZIPWiByDgbx2mCx6maWG7PfunqAH0rkfpzU3GbqJ6_Jno4Vj47fhSU8HHrEbFaXVxC98a3vlvKWp1JlBGWQNPbtZN-B9fg/w288-h400/skinmermaid.png" width="288" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">"Skin" mermaids are nature's irony. The most human-like mermaids on the outside, yet the most unhuman-like on the inside. These mermaids are entirely covered with skin all the way down to their fluked tail. Indo-Pacific merfolk live where their name implies: Indian and Pacific oceans. These merfolk are quite commonly found in every part of the Pacific ocean and most of the Indian, producing conflict with other mermaid species - mostly the Fantail. The Indo-Pacific are the most intelligent mermaid species - having the largest brain size out of all merfolk, even larger than humans. This large cranium seems to indicate the presence of telepathy where merfolk can communicate over short distances with others. Skin mermaids are serious naturalists living as they always have without any inventions or technology, with only themselves and the sea. Their entire way of life is based around sexual exploration where a mermaid can give birth to up to 8 merfry in four months! It is surprising how much is known about this species because they are very shy and rarely surface.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><u>Pearl Mermaid</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i><b>Sirenius Perwoscentia (Delphinus)</b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><u><br /></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: helvetica; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYqPj4wG1M8GNz_qq6XedXQu8D7B3xpHvDbf31wIbEL2SO2nWtwqSp333St2tryWuNKha_r_UOLwlJOZbzO6tlOLE6flmQVl6Wh2bfgripjrXNIkFp_ZvgrX903sT9JsWz7vMSCpDsXRG1cO3ZNDCX1ZC_xD2iRdfXczv7QgeqsEWRhTlsRe9HzQq2MA/s347/pearlmermaid.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="347" data-original-width="346" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYqPj4wG1M8GNz_qq6XedXQu8D7B3xpHvDbf31wIbEL2SO2nWtwqSp333St2tryWuNKha_r_UOLwlJOZbzO6tlOLE6flmQVl6Wh2bfgripjrXNIkFp_ZvgrX903sT9JsWz7vMSCpDsXRG1cO3ZNDCX1ZC_xD2iRdfXczv7QgeqsEWRhTlsRe9HzQq2MA/w399-h400/pearlmermaid.png" width="399" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Known as the "Pearl of the Sea", these mermaids are considered to be one of the most beautiful and wonderful creatures that live today. These quiet, subtle, passionate creatures live scattered among the Oceana, but have been spotted as north as Hawaii. These mermaids are recognized by their smooth, pearlish hue faded from their skin tone, and a smaller caudal fin. Fertile females protrude a darker ridge on their dorsal, which extended down to the tail. Violet colored variations have also been seen with a slightly larger more Delphine tail known under the subspecies Delphinus. Although no mermen have been seen, it has been observed that the females have a tendency to go out and explore the ocean - usually leaving their male companions in the deep. On rare occasions they have interacted with humans, but somehow photographer Jason Gold has managed to capture the greatest mermaid photos of all time from this species. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnOwLrAd94GGbH_KtEmTQ28xHPFtfhY5Y5Wm6emnCt0Z_h8WRTX1hUXT6VkizkiNooK2su2Zo4BOuy1hvjOBrdvZiiQcZ3IXJIG7rMygjlfS6bBZ_xONzv8y_kzsedSb3SuLgT3d2Slkc5qapQ2OAHFthuE_AaMm5DwlAgEAQFuZhZ9wWTwKqUBKq4Zw/s1262/s-l1600%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="665" data-original-width="1262" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnOwLrAd94GGbH_KtEmTQ28xHPFtfhY5Y5Wm6emnCt0Z_h8WRTX1hUXT6VkizkiNooK2su2Zo4BOuy1hvjOBrdvZiiQcZ3IXJIG7rMygjlfS6bBZ_xONzv8y_kzsedSb3SuLgT3d2Slkc5qapQ2OAHFthuE_AaMm5DwlAgEAQFuZhZ9wWTwKqUBKq4Zw/w640-h338/s-l1600%20(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>(Reference: "The Mermaid's Lagoon")</div></div></div></span></span></div></div></div></span></div></div>Lady Caer Morgannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13945186529772807913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2592544249874681629.post-8370039931002138712022-06-24T21:00:00.008-07:002022-06-25T09:39:20.025-07:00The Mermaid Chronicles - Part One: Introduction<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkjF0xkTTQCEcL29pC29PsveU-GC_FqS6Rk3tXUkrpPamhdm8qGW5EKvCiJeqtXQ2LNJswgSMC7NCTUTQL07uz8MIimGaRzwJonXB5_vQkyJOZi_CZBTzu_StXJrnv-7Wy3-urojwW93GZPeSlY1B0b2HoMm31obuI5l3deY6IIyCqQVGjm5TtzlCtMQ/s426/mermaidchroniclescover.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="423" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkjF0xkTTQCEcL29pC29PsveU-GC_FqS6Rk3tXUkrpPamhdm8qGW5EKvCiJeqtXQ2LNJswgSMC7NCTUTQL07uz8MIimGaRzwJonXB5_vQkyJOZi_CZBTzu_StXJrnv-7Wy3-urojwW93GZPeSlY1B0b2HoMm31obuI5l3deY6IIyCqQVGjm5TtzlCtMQ/w318-h320/mermaidchroniclescover.png" width="318" /></a></div><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Back in 1998, I began a collection of articles which I had found while searching on the internet.

They are mammals with the appearance of a human being above the pelvis and the appearance of dolphins or whales below. All mammals are warm-blooded and have hair, and all female mammals have mammary glands (breast and nipples for feeding young). Fish have a completely different anatomy. Mermaids do appear to have scales, but it is possible that this is in fact a pattern or camouflage that resemble scales. Some species of mermaid also have twin-tails and there are even some that are completely humanoid in appearance, apart from scale-like skin and dolphin-like biology (sonar, respiratory, circulatory and skeletal systems). The mermaid is also known to have both a Caucasian or negro complexion and some sightly have a greenish appearance.</b></span></p><p style="float: left; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 20px 20px 0px 0px; position: relative; width: 500px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIcpqCwJL1g0aajBsCiIlaH6JTqGgGGG9920vbFm6oQmWZScZCOQgSOXroF6CSDI05ul5ORPAsEJDR4Cj9KCLBknxC3k2PLCm0WbdGcP9Oyme3C1DNoZePRbSPrl5l7-zcy8fIDfTEP2oyBSRBLgd5LCL-YvD3klNoO0RLg_3LkVbyqHjL1GI_9EqKcg/s866/theanatomyofamermaid.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="650" data-original-width="866" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIcpqCwJL1g0aajBsCiIlaH6JTqGgGGG9920vbFm6oQmWZScZCOQgSOXroF6CSDI05ul5ORPAsEJDR4Cj9KCLBknxC3k2PLCm0WbdGcP9Oyme3C1DNoZePRbSPrl5l7-zcy8fIDfTEP2oyBSRBLgd5LCL-YvD3klNoO0RLg_3LkVbyqHjL1GI_9EqKcg/w640-h480/theanatomyofamermaid.jpg" width="640" /></b></span></a></div><p></p><p style="float: left; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 20px 20px 0px 0px; position: relative; width: 500px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivzhOYaQ8HGjVAuwswlTrvtz6gzHfSw5ZSF4V9fG0NGEwDYQPfh6YNIOwxgHxIhp12wqbzufOP_vvll8WBwKclF7yhn1iTagGdb918jAMjSsPetfqfzRtVKRFQcQodZtWyykyMupe7yCmiDxOP3VEmJqCBtJIfNJX1mB0KcUSyWPdJZ_9umMOYB8P4pA/s840/theanatoyofamerman.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="840" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivzhOYaQ8HGjVAuwswlTrvtz6gzHfSw5ZSF4V9fG0NGEwDYQPfh6YNIOwxgHxIhp12wqbzufOP_vvll8WBwKclF7yhn1iTagGdb918jAMjSsPetfqfzRtVKRFQcQodZtWyykyMupe7yCmiDxOP3VEmJqCBtJIfNJX1mB0KcUSyWPdJZ_9umMOYB8P4pA/w458-h640/theanatoyofamerman.jpg" width="458" /></b></span></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlYcK-F13Qn5p4mLe82gqaUHSexnH__JCK9FQe5jXsOxTxfBiuC9_1EERb2rlPlXg36NTvvfYoeCTltrVhre1nihE8Jzn1DwMCN3a5DmEafFeevzY7HiL2P_nMAKqIN_oK1-nKDnbexjTUC4bXnuXceQJkA3sWOPSsHz8P2UeXQnB5sxTxGWlKwx1Spw/s1000/tumblr_nlwmazJV7L1uqrw89o7_1280.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="620" data-original-width="1000" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlYcK-F13Qn5p4mLe82gqaUHSexnH__JCK9FQe5jXsOxTxfBiuC9_1EERb2rlPlXg36NTvvfYoeCTltrVhre1nihE8Jzn1DwMCN3a5DmEafFeevzY7HiL2P_nMAKqIN_oK1-nKDnbexjTUC4bXnuXceQJkA3sWOPSsHz8P2UeXQnB5sxTxGWlKwx1Spw/w640-h396/tumblr_nlwmazJV7L1uqrw89o7_1280.jpg" width="640" /></b></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Daa6c9D8sTNKjZIh7oGfBVDMOnalwVFdX5Ofy9XTKKe5ofek72HecJocqgu1MDAPHvgU5qtfTssmW6Za73RT1URgnq25ZbP4C5a5DXChRYiBK52TlryJrBYXwwu-PWTq8cDZ7i_5NCJX14Squ_KhwlE7jVE4Jpboecp7jmbGJEwTNN1rlEXH_Hgdcg/s633/tumblr_nlwmazJV7L1uqrw89o9_500.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="633" data-original-width="500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Daa6c9D8sTNKjZIh7oGfBVDMOnalwVFdX5Ofy9XTKKe5ofek72HecJocqgu1MDAPHvgU5qtfTssmW6Za73RT1URgnq25ZbP4C5a5DXChRYiBK52TlryJrBYXwwu-PWTq8cDZ7i_5NCJX14Squ_KhwlE7jVE4Jpboecp7jmbGJEwTNN1rlEXH_Hgdcg/w506-h640/tumblr_nlwmazJV7L1uqrw89o9_500.jpg" width="506" /></b></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><p style="float: left; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 20px 20px 0px 0px; position: relative; text-align: center; width: 500px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><u><b>Biological functions</b></u></span></p><p style="float: left; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 20px 20px 0px 0px; position: relative; width: 500px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Mermaids have organs in their chest that can operate as a lung or a gill, depending on whether they are in or out of the water. The organ expands and contracts exactly like a lung, yet has the ability to extract oxygen from the water. This allows the mermaid to ‘breathe’ water in the same way that they breathe air - by filling and evacuating the chest cavity. This organ is also needed to operate the larynx. The human larynx cannot operate under the water as it cannot be made to vibrate from water pressure, yet the mermaids larynx operates equally well using water or air. The mermaid circulatory system is also designed to withstand differing water pressures like that of the dolphin and whale, while the skeleton is light and pliable like those of a bird or dolphin. The lenses of mermaid eyes are also different and are able to correctly focus for use both above and under water. A mermaid is also able to hear on a different level to humans and has the ability to use sonar for communication and hunting purposes underwater.</b></span></p><p style="float: left; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 20px 20px 0px 0px; position: relative; text-align: center; width: 500px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><u><b>Reproduction</b></u></span></p><p style="float: left; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 20px 20px 0px 0px; position: relative; width: 500px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>In mermaids, reproduction is much like that of dolphins.
