These people are telling you what you don't want to hear; unfortunately that is usually the truth. And this is the truth:
You can believe all you want, but that doesn't change reality, and the reality is that magick cannot alter your physical state to the point you are only half human. Same goes with surviving off of blood, (a vampire) it simply isn't physically possible.
This life is so beautiful already, why must we expect more from it when it is such an awesome thing already?
It is possible, and I find it rather odd that you all claim it is not, yet you also claim to be Wiccan. I knew a Wiccan who, in her youth, wanted to become one, but grew out of it. She then took the year-and-a-day training, and because she had the patience to not do a single spell until she finished her training, the first spell she cast worked. She does not deny their existance as the rest of you do. Heck, I'll give you a link to her profile: http://www.43things.com/person/Iris_Nightphilly Besides, witchcraft is not the only way to become a mermaid. There is also shifting, biokinesis, and a way through astral projection to become a mermaid through both astral and physical form.
And has already been said, while possible in the astral mayhaps- it is impossible physically for a variety of logical reasons. So no, that person didn't turn either.

Magick, like anything in life has limitations. You can not change your physical appearence, genetic makeup, species or aquire superpowers through magick.

Lunasirenis ..altho a beautiful name an 'impossibility' in the 'real world', as someone historically once said ' I will not believe unless I see it with my own eyes and touch with my own hands' You cannot do this/prove this or otherwise in the 'real world' The Astral is a different story altogether....
I dont think there really is a possible way to become any sort of mystical creature through a spell, if you supposedly do.. its probably an illusion from how much you wanted it. the only way you could become one is by some rare chance you were born like it, actually manage to figure that out, and figure out how to access your powers, otherwise were all just normal humans here (and in my view mermaids, vampires, lycans, faeries etc. are just humans that just stepped up and chose different paths in evolution.) but this is al just my opinion, believe what you wish.
