Ocean's debut as an author! The Sea Wraithe has surfaced!

Here at Amazon !



Saturday, March 16, 2013


Here are some new transmissions by The Mermaid:

Greetings to all of you on the land territories.
I'm not used to talking, (i.e., transmitting ideas pictorially to the singer, songwriter, and writer, Ocean, who then transcribes them to her fellow humans) so much, but since you are so wonderful who are involved with Ecoize in wanting to save our shared Planet, Sea, along with us Mers, I'm going to start sharing a lot more.

Please show me a little patience, since I must find ways to describe our undersea Worlds to you in ways you can more easily understand, plus sharing details about our own styles of living.
I will make this first entry rather brief, since I'm still introducing myself to you all.
And thank you so much for interpreting this for me.
My mission in speaking with you is vital to all of the Mers.

Not only have I decided to make contact out of curiosity, but I've been elected, since I'd made friends with a human who is Compassionate, (Vegan) by my group - like your villages - and all Fish hate the word "School" to describe our family groups! We're not as helpless as newborn as are you primates! - to learn more about the World Above the Water, or Territory, as we call your land world.
The reason is that since you have been more and more intrusive into our Merritory - what we call our Underwater World - and frankly, the sonar, the noise pollution, the constant bomb testing, and the pollution is life-threatening for everyone on our planet, so we must learn to find solutions together.
So, I'm here to find them.
It will take the committment to care from the Landed People, since you're the ones destroying our world.

We've long had the capacity to use machinery, as you land beings do, and to change things.
This is nothing to be proud of.
Any clever primate, like humans, can figure things like that out, given the need, just as we fish beings can.  It's all in the appendages - and we, like you, have fingers and opposable thumbs, even though we have a transparent webbing between them.

We long, long ages ago figured out that the things we could create to make our own lives a bit easier were not in the long run beneficial either to us as individuals or to the group of Mers as a whole, and nothing we could make would ever benefit all the other animal groups - far from it.
We've always been close to Nature.
We prefer the Natural World the way it is.
We're here to protect it - to protect Her, Our Planet, Sea.

I know you call Her Earth, but since She's mostly water, our name for Her fits.
Planet Sea doesn't refer just to the Watery World, but to All Our Planet.

Saturday, by your reckoning. In Merritory, of course.
Since we don't have air-breathing equipment, but gills, as with all fish, my time above is very limited above sea level.
Time? We, of course, have our own measurements but we don't measure time at all.
We seldom have a need to measure anything.
The Mers take a different view of everything you landed beings do, and it's going to take a long book or series of books to find ways of explaining who we are to you.
It's essential that we understand each other, though, for the future and for our shared planet.
Starting from a cultural perspective is the best way.
By the way, do you know how we two communicate? The land being and I?
There are different senses we Mers possess, and a few of you on land have rudimentary means of using these same extra senses.
To us they're commonplace, but to you, I understand from my human contact, they're extraordinary.
I'll have to dealve into some scientific explantions here, so I'll save it for next posting.
I'm getting a bit dizzy from having to be so near the surface and the bright sunlight for so long, so I'm going to take a long dive down and get refreshed.
Good Night for now!


On The Mers and Sunlight

Someone has asked the person who translates these for the public to ask me about the Mers and the sunlight.
We tend to be deep water fish most of the time, so our eyes have to adjust to the daytime above the seas. We can only stay above in the shallow water for just so long while the sun is at its' brightest.
The night time is when the Mers do most of their shoreline swimming.
This is another reason why we Mers have been long associated with the moon, with magic and even with what you term witchcraft.
We don't need any such thing to cause things to happen, though, the way you Earth walkers do.
Our powers are more extensive just naturally.
And we don't like to cause harm.
I understand that the term "witchcraft" can mean white or black magic, but either way, we don't need magic, and yet what we do you humans would probably name as that since our ordinary gifts seem that way to you.
Since we tend to be more universal in our world view and especially since we are compassionate toward all beings equally and are vegan, we only use that type of power when we are protecting someone, like a sea turtle or a jellyfish, another Mer, and sometimes, if the human is a kind, vegan, we'll save him or her too.


Toward Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and toward Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere

I love to watch the Spring season unfold, swimming by, mainly at nighttime, since I want to remain undetected - usually, lovers or lonely human strollers by the sea who glimpse me with my head momentarily out of the water attribute my presence to a visit by a local seal or sea lion - but some who are sure they've seen a face similar to theirs tell themselves that I'm a healthy, strong human swimmer who loves moonlit dips - I watch the greenery of the Spring season when it arrives, as the tiny, baby leaves appear, and grow into glossy and rich green, and then, as the flower buds start, I notice, and then later, I swim along the shoreline and relish every year inhaling the fragrance of the land plants when their blooms are at their fullest.
Of course, the sea plants also have their flowerings, and I adore them too, and yet, the perfume of the land flowers is so intense!
And the way the breeze slightly ruffles the petals, making them stir and reveal their forms - so exquisite!
I enjoy the landed parts of our planet just as you do!
Often I get the chance to swim along in daytime too, when the rich colors of Spring beckon.
I love the fuzzy bees, with their bold stripes, and the butterflies!
I love watching all the Spring babies arrive, and often I frolic in the water with tiny seal pups, and little dolphins, and occasionally, I get to play with land babies too!
I watch as your human kids splash in the water too, as we all do, and wish all humans were kind enough to reveal ourselves to.
We love vegans, since they're absolutely compassionate to all beings.
Now comes Spring!

Love Addiction - Love Junkie Music Video by Ocean



Add caption
New Video on YouTube, Love Junkie by Ocean!

About love addiction, a funk rap rock grunge song with great rhythms and heavy guitars! A film noir music video showing a love addicted singer and her boyfriend in the band who she always leaves waiting for her while she in this case goes out joy riding on a Harley with another beau. Nice footage of Ocean's band. A dark, haunting atmosphere shows the vacuity of love addictions.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc2JIGlKcnc


I'm adding this gorgeous black and white music video on love addiction by the human I transmit info to because it haunted me. I admit that while I don't really have a problem with being addicted to mermen, or to one in particular, I am involved in a relationship as I'd mentioned earlier, with a very difficult merman. 
This subject brings up the intricacies of all relationships.
We all have issues, varying in degrees, with our live-ins, especially if we're not really into them, the way I feel at this point about the merman who constantly pursues me.
In the video, the girl is obsessively pursued by the guy in the band who feels he owns her, while she goes out and tries to be free.
This is sort of what I am going through, except I'm not at all interested in going out with other mermen now - he'd follow me!
Anyway, the idea of being stuck on anyone or anything so that we get fixated on whatever the being or substance is is really outside my sphere.
I see it all around me, and it's not easy for those who suffer with these afflictions - addictions - but it's ALSO really difficult to be the object of obsession by someone who's addicted to you!

"I love the song by Ocean, and I love the mix of rap and metal, plus her really cool vocals." - This was written by one of Ocean's fans.
I thought I'd share a music video for a change, so enjoy it!

Mermaids and Mermen? Worldwide Interest in The Mers Through History








Ocean Art, c. 2012, The Mers

Being a Mermaid, and being one of the few who have ever made any sort of contact with humans puts me in a rather unique position, and brings many questions that I pose to Ocean, the human I communicate with.
Of course, only to combine our strengths, ideally, to find a way to save our shared Planet, Sea, have I come forward, and only urgently would I ever.
Our history - the parallel worlds of The Mers and of humans, has never converged, and only very few sightings by some very lucky humans have convinced some of you that we actually exist.
The Mers, since humans behavior has been so suicidal against their - our- own home, our only planet - have studiously avoided contact, but we have studied you, much as you might study a subject that did not particularly interest you, but was necessary to your own survival to learn about.

I have no idea why you humans are so apparently obsessed with the idea of Mers, unless it has to do with the fact that - as yet - there is no proof that we exist, except in human imagination.
And - why do humans imagine fairytale beings at all?
Well, first of all, as a Mermaid, I can tell you that we are not obsessed with humans in the same way. Most obviously, because we know for sure that you exist!
So, let's say we take away the mystery about the existence of the Mers conclusively - not that we will ever let that happen, but...for the sake of this discussion - it still seems obvious that, given the prevalence of your myths and legends spanning the range of behaviors attributed to us Mers, there might even be more obsession with us.
And, as we suspect, most likely, annoying us, chasing us, and attempting to photograph and film us would become the number one human occupation.
So, now that you understand that we do not want to be among you for many, many reasons, we can go back to our ideas of why humans are interested in the Mers.
Not that fish aren’t fascinating - all of us - but there is that pesky resemblance to humans, that even Mers admit to, so there is the most obvious reason for our constant appearance in your bodies of mythologies from nations all over the world.
And, the silence from Mers, except for our singing that humans hear on occasion, allows the innate human quality of creation to fill in the blanks with whatever is in his or her head at the time, so myths abound in both directions - having Mers be good or bad, according to the story.
Naturally you find us beautiful and handsome, since we do resemble humans above the waist.
And, I must admit our voices are lovely, without exception. It’s just part of being a Mer. And did you know that all fish talk and sing? Yes, and many other fish species sing with great ability.
Humans are amazingly myopic. Egocentrism is the norm, and it’s used by humans all too often in order to objectify other beings in order to visit cruelty upon them.
Do you understand why we have so little to do with your specie?
At times, having seen us - male and female - seated upon rocks or sandy islets, engaged in one of our necessary occupations like combing out our tresses, I suppose the idea of the vanity of the Mers has become attached to us - quite unfairly!
Imagine the tangles we must endure!
Fashioning combs out of shells or even using combs found on the sea floor and using them is a mundane and necessary task for us, but we are often perceived as vain and petty. We are far from thinking about how gorgeous or hunky we are when we’re merely making our manes manageable!
Oh, the things that have been said!
We’re individuals, as are humans and as are members of every specie.
Some are more into themselves than others, of course, but usually, we’re just living our lives, humming to ourselves and enjoying the sunshine on our scales - and holding our breath, of course - our water, that is, since we breathe water, and can only sit in the air for brief times!
So, it’s necessary to put oneself in others’ shoes - or, fins - via empathy - for either the Mers or the humans to attempt to understand each other.
I will continue to transmit on this subject as we go along.
For now, though, I’m off for a brisk swim!

All Mermaids and Mermen are Vegan Fish

I just thought I'd point this rather obvious fact out, but, being Mers, meaning the breed of fish that we are, Mermaids and Mermen, we are among the groups of fish who are Vegan.
It seems so obvious, given our sleek builds and athletic prowess, doesn't it?
Also, since we roam the Seas doing what we all can to save our Brethren, the other Fish species, and even many Mammals who become, sadly, entangled in the humans' driftnets - aren't they meant to be universally against all plaentary laws by now?

Isn't it time for all humans to become Vegan? Don't they want our shared World to live?
Don't they care about suffering of their fellow beings?
Don't they want to breathe good air and for us to breathe good water?

Where are your religions up there in the air world?

I was telling Ocean - the human I transmit information to - the other day, via our own wavelength, that she should tell more people about The Mers, about how much we need for humans to align with us to save our planet, Sea!

Don't they all realize that ninety percent - 90 % !!! - of all the Seven Seas' Fish - OUR FAMILY AND YOURS - are gone forever!!!

It Is URGENT that we all become Vegan, Child-Free - yes, humans, you are breeding us all into extinction! -  and to do all we can to save who and what we can!

Please, please, listen to a Mermaid, even if you ignore the other humans!

I have made unprecedented contact with a human merely in order to let you know We Exist and We Need Your Help!

Please respond and please go vegan NOW!
Thank you.

Battery, Abuse, Bullying

I hate to admit that, even on this blog thing that Ocean writes when she comes to the sea and I transmit it to her, I have been abused physically. Even though he can't ever read this. That would make me afraid, but Mermen don't read, or speak, or understand your human languages, and, living in water, we can't have anything to do with electrical contraptions like the silver box Ocean brings with her when we meet. 
Why, she asked me, do you hate to admit something that was done to you? 
It's because it makes you feel shame, ashamed, that you weren't able to get away when someone bigger than you was hurting you.
The horror lasts. The feeling of having to swim away at any second, at never being able to trust any Mermen again, oh, just lots of fears...
My head is hurt.
There is a bump on it and a cut in the middle of what you call a forehead.
I was so afraid!
Not only because of the physical danger he put me in, but, since I knew I was bleeding - although our blood is entirely different from yours, just like all fish blood - and just knowing that any sharks nearby would be able to smell my blood and...it was horrifying!
I couldn't get away from him!
His possessiveness and mania to keep me from leaving him is so scary!
I don't feel free.
I feel owned!
And unlike so many humans, I do not have a family.
Some Mers, born in big clusters of eggs, emerge together, or around the same time, siblings, and they continue to be friendly all their lives, but in many cases, as with other fish eggs, many become dislodged from where the mother fish had lain them, and float wherever.
Some stay together, a very few, as in my case. I had been lain with I suppose a cluster of eggs, and one other remained close to me as we drifted away...so I had one siblings, a Brother.
A magnificent Merman, who'd been an enchanting MerBoy, a close, close sibling whom I adored more than all others in the world!
How I miss him now!
He would have torn that Merman to pieces for harming me!
I wouldn't have had to be alone with him, for my Brother would always have stayed within range for me.
I will tell what happened to my Brother another day.
For now, I will only relate that he is no longer on our, or your, plane.
Oh, yes, Mers die too.
Or are killed.
And I felt like I might be killed two days ago, on Saturday by your human reckoning. We Mers do not attempt to name or label much of Nature. We do not restrain or try to retain time. We go only by tides and currents and of course, Moons.
We have no need to measure, to weigh, or to compartmentalize.
We live in the free ocean, the Seven Seas.
Free for most - but never for battered Mermaids.
Not if a renegade or a domineering Merman is stalking them.


For now, I am safe.
For now.
I am healing from my ordeal, and happy I am alive.
I still do not know how to extricate myself safely from this relationship.
He swears he will not let me go - alive.
He'll find me wherever I go and...and...
He says he cannot live without me.
Of course, he doesn't ask how I feel.
I used to feel I loved him.
But love is feeling safe, first, and feeling free, second.
And I only feel scared...

A Near Escape

I have to write about this.
Sometime ago, I'd mentioned the Merman I'm seeing.
Still seeing, stupidly.
Partly becasue I'm not sure, caught off-guard, and partly because I'm afraid to leave him, since he stalks me when I do, I'm still seeing him.


Physical abuse hurts.
Hurts our psyches, our feelings, our feelings of self-worth.
He, this Merman, who is literally twice my size, and, being a Mer, is a very powerful male, is so afraid of losing me that he has made me want to leave him.
By being so possessive, by being so scary to me, and by, as with two nights ago, being physically abusive to me, he's making me wish he was an an entirely different ocean.


When his paranoia made him perceive that I was unhappy and he felt that I was about to leave for good, he threw me into a rocky cliffside, near where we had been swimming, eating the seaweeds that grow along the bank, and then, threatening to kill us both if he couldn't keep me, he put his hands across my mouth and nose, stopping me from taking in water!


I could have died!
And now my neck and shoulders, my side, and my spirit hurts.


I could have others help me - some Mermen I know - but then, I'd still be looking over my fins everywhere I turned, wondering when he would emerge through the gloom and overtake me - and really take us both down for good!


Oh, yes, Mermen, as your land men, get this way.
Far too many Mermaids and land women die at the hands of these vicious, controlling males every year.


Brutality, bullying someone smaller than oneself, is a horrible crime, and sometimes we feel there is nowhere to turn, no way to get away.


I'm praying to God for a door to open - the right door for me, and to be protected in the meantime, and I pray for all females, all kids, all smaller than the brutes they are forced to live around, until their liberation comes and they can, again, be free.


Pry for me.
