In Scottish mythology, selkies are beings capable of changing from seal to human form by shedding their skin. They are found in stories originating from the Northern Isles of Scotland.

#FairyTaleTuesday #fairytales #mythology #fairytale
There is no day or night but perpetual twilight in the land of fairies & ghosts of the dead & afterlife intermingle with them. Eating fairy food is taboo for humans, as it alters the body & prevents a person from returning to the world of the living. #FairyTaleTuesday #folklore
@Procreate Hello there! Here is Kamila, illustrator from Poland. Fairytales, folklore, dark stories are my thing! But I also love sweet and soft world of children illustrations, so I often jump between worlds, styles, mediums... That makes art so exciting and fun! #VisibleWomen
"One tale is that the Selkie or Seal Folk can only assume human form once every seven years because they are either humans who had committed sinful wrong doing, or are fallen angels"

Unlike some ugly-turned-pretty fairytales, this #manhwa confronts the harsh reality of life where looks or physical appearances, following cultural preferences, are given prejudice, and warrant great favor and power to a person, thus its title Lookism. 👁️
