Full Description
Profound mermaid wisdom on the elemental kingdom, universal love, and the depths of empathy
Taking you directly into the realm of the water spirits, William Mistele shares his profound encounters with mermaids, revealing spiritual truths about the elemental kingdom, universal love, and the necessity of empathy.
Using the magical methods of Hermeticist Franz Bardon, the author makes direct contact with four water elemental queens, also known as undines or mermaids, evocatively sharing their wisdom, magic, and love. Like their fellow elementals—salamanders (fire), sylphs (air), and gnomes (earth)—undines are united with, and personify, their element of water. Their energy is deeply feminine: cool, soothing, and gentle, yet also nurturing and supportive. Mermaids are deeply empathic, sensitive, and responsive. They accept, affirm, and seek to draw together, bond, join, and unite. The author shows how, even when incarnated in human form, mermaids do not lose this powerful feminine empathic magic.
Speaking through the author, the mermaids reveal that the oceans of the earth are the outer expression of an inner kingdom of love. Personifying this magical love intertwined with profound empathy and compassion, mermaids are able to contain within themselves the soul of any being so as to shelter, inspire, and transform. The mermaids reveal how their abilities are latent in us all and crucial to humanity's spiritual growth and survival, especially empathy, harmony with nature, and a cooperative rather than combative relationship with the world.
Sharing elemental exercises and attunements, the author shows how we each can awaken mermaid intuitive and empathic abilities and develop an inner connection to rivers, lakes, and oceans as well as the inexhaustible love of the mermaid kingdom. When we experience this love, we will no longer perceive nature as external to ourselves. Rather, like these magical beings of water, we will feel united with nature from the core of our being.
