As beautiful as their voices may be heard, that is exactly how alluring the impending danger calls, flee! before it's too late.

Hello, My Distinguish Readers,

I welcome you to my amazing blog!

WHAT MYTHICAL CREATURE DO YOU WISH ACTUALLY EXISTED??

I was reading an article that was about the horoscope of zodiacs. I am practically a Cancerian and my element is water. So my eyes darted to the next sentence and I burst into laughter.

The reason why I laughed so hard was that the writer knew exactly how Cancerians behave, especially the sensitive ones. In this case, I am in this category but am more fearless and bold (basically because of how I grew)... It said and I quote ...

" Because of the strings of emotions attached to cancers they could cry out in the closet while listening to Enya's music... "

I was like, how does this writer know that I have albums of Enya's collection and I play them consistently even to this present day, lol, I hate it when someone attacks me with what I do privately, like how do you see me lmao. I think this is because he or she feels that we Cancerians are quite emotional in nature.

Remember, I said that my element is water, I can't dispute the fact that I and water have an intimate connection although everyone uses water right?!!? Please don't say am weird! I certainly know what I'm saying. I could clarify that.

Yesterday being the 14th of June I had conversations with my good friend and I was telling him about the challenges am having currently and what will make me feel good, free, and recharged is sinking into a pool of water for as long as it takes and coming out like a newborn baby, and I asked him if he knows how to swim and he said yes!!

So, I pleaded with him to teach me how to while I used the opportunity to sink myself which he obliged. Infact, I remembered I wrote an article about something similar to this in one of the contests in ECOTRAIN ... ... [see here]

How does water come into all of this?

Back to the question of the week {QOTW}, the mythical creature that I honestly and genuinely wished to be in existence is the mermaids. In old tales, a mermaid is a mythical creature that is aquatic in nature and has a head like that of a human and a tail like that of a fish.

They are said to be connected with precarious disasters like floods, storms, shipwrecks, and drowning following a high number of casualties.

These creatures are magnificent beings with a heavenly voice, they can be benevolent or charitable and freely bestow petitions. Sirens as they are also called have the power to allure people.

Their place of abode is in the oceans, rivers, beaches, and streams name it all as far as they have something in common "water" but basically they dwell in a depth of water underneath.

According to many tales I have heard about the mermaids, they barely exist. Although I have watched some documents showing them lounging around rocks in a spot enjoying the natural atmosphere and humming their enchanted songs.

It is believed that this mythical creature uses its magical singing voice to lure people to their death and manipulate the victim's minds by controlling them. Unfortunately, there are good eggs too that fall in love with humans and help people who are drowning, grant wishes asf!

Based on some research I made, this said mythical creature is not as beautiful as they were envisioned these days. I wish they would be so real like the way I imagined it in a picturesque aspect.

In Nigeria, it is normally called " Mami-Water " meaning " Mother of the Water " because they believe that this half-human-half-fish creature is the goddess of the sea. I am so gullible that I believe the same thing. I mean they are in charge of the water, hehe I didn't say totally in charge just like the way fishes in all species have the sea and ocean to themselves that's the same way they do too but in this, they are ranking in high order.

Infact, I read they don't eat fish but eat sea foods just to be clarified. Can anyone categorize these kinds of seafood? I want to know if fish are also among... hehe

One thing I adore about these sea-dwelling creatures is the fact that they love water just like I do and they assign good fortunes, gifts, and healing to people who treat them well and inflict pain, misery, and death on folks who treat them badly.

In conclusion, if I was a mermaid although I wished for it hehe, I would build my camp very close to the sea where I could watch the seagulls tell me when a storm is about to hit the land, and the chirping sounds of the birds and the sounds of crashing waves as it helps me stay away from worries of this life.

I am sure you have imagined how your mythical creature looks, feel free to read the initial source by clicking [here]

Thanks for reading my piece, see you in my next post!

I have been hearing a story about mermaid for several times, and I have tried all my best to see this creature how it's looks like in my physical eye apart from those ones I have been seeing on pictures.

This made me remember a true life story which happened in my hometown. The mermaid already warned the king to tell the whole villagers not to come to this particular stream where we wash clothes when we were still very young. He did as instructed but this little boy decided to go play and that was the end.

I have heard many tales about mermaids and I know some are too nice to help give out fortunes especially to those who has done good deed while some are too wicked to inflict pain on another.

Oh .... I feel that the streams where you wash those clothes the dirts are killing their kinds or polluting the fish and contaminating it.. so she gave the warning.... Oh it's such a loss anyways if example was not shown people would sneakily still go there.

Aunty!!! I don't know where to start from. Lol🤣. If there's anyone that has heard mermaid tales, it's me. I grew up in a rural area that has river at the extreme end of my street a and you know? Swimming was one our hobby there. We heard that mermaid comes out at night and early ours of the morning and the curious me really want to see in the realness of mermaid, so anytime I'm opportuned to go to river before to school, I would go very early in the morning about minute to 6:00am, and I'd tiptoe whenever I'm getting close to the water too if a mermaid is around 🥳...but I never saw any.

I don't mind, if you feel and somehow miraculously be among them, please let me know in the future. I have questions to ask them 🥰

Lmfao 😂

Okay, slow down champ! Is not like I have seen them with my eyes yet o although am anticipating cause am not scared... I will definitely embrace it...

I have watched some documents in the web seeing how they behave and the old tales of the sailors and fisherman with their various encounters..

You say a river they might not likely be there perhaps they might be but you can find them during earliest hours of the day around 2,3,4 am... who's going to be there by such time? And I heard they hate mirrors... Try placing one in the river band to find out...

Hehehe 😂😂😂 Thank God you know!

Ogbanje is a form of reincarnation to posses a body for a time and when it's time for the spirit to go the host dies... that's why you see all this people with dada ...of course you can't cut it because it's traced to ogbanje... You will just anger the spirit and she inflict sickness to its host.

Some you hear if they are born they behave strangely and when the ogbanje time has come to leave the host... The parents of such person would carry them all about everywhere seeking for help so that there child won't die ... Sometimes some rituals are performed to please the spirit... asf... Some put cowries or native bead in the dada asf

This lady you are deep into this! I'm amazed.

I never got closer to an Ogbanje even though I knew People that it affected. I wish it's now, I really one to sit close to such and ask questions about their world.

You know of little witches? Like a little girl got witchraft via food?. Yeah, I want to more about this too.

Are you on that naija forum group? Would like to meet you. A lot to talk on this🙌
