mermaid

so many posts that transforming into anything is impossible but they still ask,,how stupid

I feel that stupid a strong word. Not doing any research first is more like it.

@ BlackCat i hate when i'm on my phone and that happens, so annoying to try and fix it because i've got a small screen.

@ tamsyn magic from movies is different from real spiritual magick practices by people of the pagan faith. spiritual magick is energy found in nature, charged and directed by the caster in a spell to create change in one's life. since this energy is a part of nature, it works within the confines of nature. a spell to change form a human to a mermaid [for example] will not work because it is not in human nature to change into other beings. spells you see in Harry Potter or Charmed are meant to entertain, not educate, so it's imaginary.

now, in regards to mermaids being real, physically they are not. granted, the ocean is vast, so there might be a slim, slim, 1% chance, but until actual evidence of their existence is found, mermaids are not physically real. [even if they were you cannot become one, see the magick explanation above] however, i have been told they are astral beings [similar to spirits] so in theory you could call on their energy similar to how you would call upon a deity in a spell or ritual. you could look into buying items adorn with mermaids to use in your rituals, or to decorate your altar, but you cannot become a mermaid, and there are no physical mermaids. not to upset you, it's just the facts of life.

Well in some mythology mermaid were the spiritual guardings of the waters. In some others mermaids were evil creature that drag sailors to the bottom of the ocean.

But you are right, mermaids could be physically real, but doesn't change the fact that you can't become one.

If you want to know about mermaid, you google and do some research on discovery channel. Long time ago, our ancestors became mermaids because not enough food to eat in the land, so they chose to live in water and from time to time, they started to evolve into mermaids.

Ding, if you're talking about "Mermaids : the body found" then your wrong. That was a mockumentary about mermaids, and though it was creative, it's not real.

I have been trying since i was like 4 just to become one!!!!

sorry, but you cannot. i was a child who use to pretend to be a mermaid with my best friend, but that was a game. we are humans, and nothing can ever change that. [unless you want to go in for surgery]

as witchessong mentioned, there's different myths about them. some were friendly, others were vengeful, some were born that way forever, others used magic to change, or were cursed somehow. there's a story about them using magic seal pelts to change into mermaids, there's also lore of them drowning humans accidentally or intentionally when they try to drag them to their underwater homes. there are other types of mer-folk depending on the region as well, not just those with fish bottoms and human tops. research them for yourself, it's quite interesting. just keep in mind this is the internet and people do lie, so keep your wits about you.

really... i'm sorry...but we're just living in an imaginative world that is filled with illusions

Well there are the cases when studying in different planes, you wander "Is our plane real? Or is it just a illution?" well every plane is real to a extent. Just some planes can be reach physically. When we enter the astral plane though we can create pretty much anything.

I would like to add something I read from Flaggs profile;

" We are gods, each and every one of us. We hold limitless potential and unlimited knowledge, we simply have forgotten this. "

He is right, our physical bodies are not gods, but our spiritual bodies are more powerful, once our limitations are out of the way. Sense physically we can't do shapeshifting, but spiritually we can do just about anything.

Doesn't mean you do anything rash. Just means you have something to learn about. Just remember our bodies can only do so much. This is because this is our physical form...Some people may call this our vessel.

But this is just my opinion.

So this kind of concludes the whole mermaid transformation thing.
