Book Description
The Mermaids Tail tells the story of the Universal Feminines emergence in history of humanity as a viable force in evolution. The soul qualities of compassion and regard for all human beings are what is demanding the redefinition of societys biggest questions. Without an equal voice in the debate about war, education, care for the land or the elderly, only part of the problem can be understood. Sophia takes the reader from the mythological to an awakened imagination that can define what the Feminine voice really is. Her love of different cultures and ability to synthesize experience creates a series of impressions that illuminate what at first glance may appear as mundane. She shares hard-won insights into the sacredness of the many expressions of a One god. Initially, what can be read as irreverence exposes a greater truth reserved only for the courageous. The Mermaids Tail unmasks hidden meanings of the tales we were told as childrenthe mythology buried deep in the recesses of our minds. The book offers unexpected and delightful insights into creating deeper personal meaning, all tied together with well-crafted, often poetic, prose. A delightful and very rewarding read. - Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler Best-selling author Pioneer in brain/mind research www.BuildMindPower.com This book will awaken feelings, joys, fears and emotions in readers from all walks of life, both masculine & feminine, young & old well done ! - Gary Duncan wood worker, musician, landscape artist, Ozark Renaissance man The Mermaids Tail links visions of our universal subconscious past to what our collective conscious is asking for today.

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.
