Like anything in Greek mythology or in fiction, it depends on the version and on your interpretation.
Hi anon, thanks for sharing! Some context would be helpful because I don’t have a clue what you’re referring to unfortunately!
Hi anon! Unfortunately, this isn’t something we have a lot of experience in ourselves (we don’t really have any experience of being concept kin), but we’ll try our best.
I would think that a lot of the advice given to otherkin such as mermaids, sirens, naiads, selkies, and marine therians would apply to you in a more general sense.
Maybe you would benefit from doing things like wearing or collecting shells, or taking saltwater baths. (You can use Epsom salt).
I’ll ping our mermaid beloved in our partner system in case they have any ideas for you too. ( @megaphonegirlk )
Different labels and different understands of similar experiences are definitely really interesting to look into, share and talk about!
I would never try to label someone’s personal internal experience for them– which has always made it hard when someone comes to me and asks ‘am I otherkin’, ‘am I a soulbonder’ etc. That’s a question a person can only answer for themselves.
But it’s really interesting and wonderful to come together and share these experiences, in all their similarities and differences, and value the fact that they mean something different to each of us.
