'I would be a mermaid fair...' Lord Tennyson

Long ago mermaid goddesses were objects of worship - personifications of the forces of nature and supernatural helpers believed to have the power to calm storms at sea and ensure a bountiful day's fishing.
Today it is far more useful to see mermaids and other mythological beings as glorious images of feminine possibility: characters from the worlds story that can teach you by example how to better appreciate your own complexity, courage, creativity, resilience and passion.
