In the 1940s a BBC radio producer went to Scotland in search of selkies, myths of shape-shifting seal people. He treated them not as tall tales, but as cultural artefacts, believing that the stories were “the last vestiges of pagan belief, before the onset of the nuclear world https://t.co/40dOfKFzxL

In Celtic and Norse mythology, selkies, meaning 'seal folk' are mythological beings capable of therianthropy, changing from seal to human form by shedding their skin.

Kawauso are trickster otter who shapeshift into children or beautiful women. They are similar to kitsunes but also to the Irish Selkies, seal women who can take human form.

We've got Athena Merrill and the Midnight Chicken, 14k about two kids, 9 and 12, dealing with their peers, selkies, and other obstacles in the way of doing the right thing (without their dad finding out). https://t.co/MsNr8Svb1i

This past year I’ve been re-working a lot of old ideas. This is a Selkie drawing I did based off of a watercolor painting I did in 2012. I’ve always loved Selkies, the seal women of Scottish folklore (and the Kópakonan of Faroe Islands!). I hope you enjoy it!

Our mythical creature's
We've got the friendly Wulver who guides the lost and feeds the poor. The Njuggl that'll take a hold of you and drown you. The mischievous Trowies that'll steal you away and Selkies, folk that turn into seals.

Selkies, seals that shed thr skin to become human, are intensely alluring to landfolk. Many stories tell of a man stealing a selkie's skin and making her his bride. After some years the she would find her skin and return to the sea taking her children with her.

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.

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).
