evermore-grimoire:The Evermore Grimoire: CreaturesSelkies are mythological beings capable of therianthropy, changing from seal to human form by shedding their skin. They mainly exist in the folklore tales of Ireland, Scotland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. Many tales tell of them coming in groups to the beaches at night and dancing by the light of the moon. It was also believed that if a person could sneak to the shore and steal the their seal skin, the Selkie was then forced to remain with them, unable to return to the sea unless they could get their skin back. Selkies were said to make good wives, but they always carried with them a deep and melancholy longing for the sea.artwork by @juliedillonart -- source link
