Book Description
Brings these fabled creatures out of the storybooks and into real life. Stories of the merfolk, especially mermaids, exist in nearly every culture that ever sailed the oceans or large rivers. Humanlike, except for their iridescent, scaly tails, mermaids and mermen have fascinated humans for thousands of years. Because the largest of these beings exist in the oceans, most people are not aware that smaller versions of the merfolk live in inland rivers, streams, marshes, and waterfalls. Like many other magical beings, the merfolk travel easily between this world and the astral planes, appearing only to those who truly seek to know them and learn their ancient powers. Magickal Mermaids and Water Creatures bring these fabled creatures out of the storybooks and into real life through the studies of D. J. Conway. Within the pages you will learn: The secret powers of mermaids and mermen Different water creatures and where you can find them How to entice water folk for friendship and health How to avoid dangerous water folk This book was originally published in 2008. It is republished here with a new cover and a new foreword by Skye Alexander.

Book Description
Mermaids & Sea Monsters: Oil Paintings and Works of Michael D. Koch This book is a catalog of the paintings and other works by Michael D. Koch focusing on mermaids, ocean fantasy and the fantastic creatures of the sea. To tackle this subject, Koch called upon his long-standing interest in Greek mythology, his fascination with fantasy and science fiction, his love of comics as well as growing up in New England. Like unicorns, mermaids seem to have this odd yet warm affection in the public imagination. The painter regards this painting series and the Mermaid itself as a poetic subject that transforms the subject of the sea into one of legend and lore with its fantastic and spectacular creatures and oceanic beauty .

Book Description
Dragons, unicorns, mermaids ... all the famous creatures of myth and legend are to be found in the Torah, Talmud and Midrash. But what are we to make of them? Do they really exist? Did the Torah scholars of old believe in their existence? And if not, why did they describe these creatures? Sacred Monsters is a thoroughly revised and vastly expanded edition of the bestselling book Mysterious Creatures. Rabbi Natan Slifkin, the famous "Zoo Rabbi," revisits all the creatures of that work as well as a host of new ones, including werewolves, giants, dwarfs, two-headed mutants, and the enigmatic shamir-worm. Sacred Monsters explores these cases in detail and discusses a range of different approaches for understanding them. Aside from the fascinating insights into these cryptic creatures, Sacred Monsters also presents a framework within which to approach any conflict between classical Jewish texts and the modern scientific worldview. Complete with extraordinary photographs and fascinating ancient illustrations, Sacred Monsters is a scholarly yet stimulating work that will be a treasured addition to your bookshelf
