For clarity sake, there are different types of mermaids. One group are remnants of the ancient planet Tiamat that survived the destruction of that planet and traveled here to build a new home, they are quite beautiful in appearance and will most accurately fit the image popularized by the media. Another group are the result of atlantean genetic experiments with DNA, this group are rather fearsome in appearance and are more primitive than the later. The last group are true water spirits they far less physical and more energetic than the previous groups, they may be regarded as the conscious part of the sea they are responsible for its regulation and maintenance. They are diverse in shape and appearance.
As the name water spirit suggests all mermaids, are quite adept at manipulating water and magnetic fluids. they are great healers and wonder workers. They are an integral part of nature and as such they resonate with that frequency. This is why it is almost impossible to see one unless you too resonate at natures frequency of love and acceptance. Unfortunately most of remain trapped in vibrations of fear and rejection.
