[ THE MERMAID: SEDUCTION ]
A serene mermaid drifts past the remnants of an age gone by

MEANING: The power of seduction and temptation is very powerful at this time. You would be wise to look at what part of your life remains unfulfilled. You are currently exploring a new path and it could prove to be the wrong path. Use discernment and go with the flow and always follow your heart. Perhaps there is a reason you haven't been tempted enough to follow the song of the siren. Don't let beauty blind you.

INTERPRETATION: The idea of mermaids seduction is an ancient one. In stories, poems and myths, hearing a mermaid's song was considered a haunting and hazardous experience. Typically it lured the listener to toss aside safety and sometimes his or her whole, known world, and plunge into the waves. Such a leap could bring doom or it could bring salvation. Sometimes it brought both. The Mermaid inevitably calls us to the unknown, to the impassioned world of change and possibility. Ultimately mermaids persist in the imagination because they represent a primal human need: to dive deep into the mystery of our un-lived life.
