Mermaids, selkies, sirens & water nymphs appear in myths, legends & fairy tales the world over. Portrayed equally as cold & predatory, luring mortals to their death, or kind & helpful creatures.

Tales of selkies (shapeshifting seal women in Scottish lore) often romanticize bride kidnapping. In "The Selkie Bride," a man steals a selkie's sealskin. She begs him to return it, but he forces her to stay on land & marry him. Somehow she comes to love him.

Made a new icon cause I've been wanting to and I just like selkies and seals. This is just the full thing and without the nonbinary flag background.

"Legends of selkies are tragically romantic; the selkie falls in love with a human, but after a time the selkie becomes restless and returns to sea.
Sometimes the humans will not know that their lovers are selkies and they will suddenly disappear, forever."

This is Lirrin, the Ocean Guardian. Technically she's a giant sea serpent, but she takes a more approachable form to interact with mortals. Unless she's planning to eat your ship. The selkies (and most seafarers) worship her as the goddess of the ocean, luck, and chance.

Today is one of my favourite mythical creatures, the Selkie, for My mum told me stories of Selkies when I was young and my obsession was sealed. If you haven't watched Song of the Sea, do it, and Shirely Hughes book on Selkies is lovely.

My Comic ‘On The Rocks’ was based on Irish Selkies from the Gaelic myths of Scotland, Wales, Ireland and some parts of England.

Selkies, or sea folk, are so special to me. If you would like to watch a good animated movie, I recommend Song of the Sea by (2014).
