The Selkie

Weaving her black seaweed tresses into long braids with bits of broken shells, she steps far out into the woods cove tide pool..."He cannot find me here" she whispers while wiping salt stained tears from her eyes. Looking back at the shoreline she lifts her head up into the darkend sky and beckons the wild turbulent waves to drown her once again...down down down she sinks...down down down...but she does not drown as she shape shifts... 'I am a Selkie' she sighs...I am one with my sisters of the drowned world

Selkie?

Like half sealion and person?

Or person inside a sealion skin?

I've only read the seal mother(out of print) so I don't know much about them.

Unlike mermaids who are half human half fish. Selkies are Seals and will shed their fur to walk among humans. If a human steals their seal coat they are trapped in human form .

It’s a beautiful and ancient folklore .

Ahh that's what happened in the story. A man stole a women's skin. Her son-10years later hears an arugement between his parents. He searches and finds the skin and gives it back to his mother. She takes him to their world and eventually he marries one??because the ending their all dancing in the moonlight on an island rock. It was one of my favorite stories.

I hope to hear more stories. I wrote some stories in my community(children_zone) from island. If that may interest you.

Island life, has also created an independence on imports. But if SHTF I guess I can catch chickens 🙃 they freely roam here BTW.
