Book Recommendations
The following are some books and literary resources that have helped me on my eco-consciousness and mermaiding journey!
Undines: Lessons from the Realm of the Water Spirits by William Mistele
Learn about incarnated and astral mermaids from the spiritual anthropologist who has researched them for over 3 decades.
Oceana by Ted Danson
A great guide on how to start saving our Oceans.
Beneath the Surface by John Hargrove
The truth behind Seaworld and why killer whales should not be kept in captivity.
What a Fish Knows by Jonathan Balcombe
Learn how fish think, feel, and behave and how we can show more understanding and empathy for their experiences.
How to Read Water: Clues and Patterns from Puddles to the Sea by Tristan Gooley
This is such a fun guide to help us reconnect with the physical nature and behaviors of water.
Plastic Ocean by Capt. Charles Moore with Cassandra Phillips
The impact that plastics have had on our oceans and how we can rethink the way we live in order to take care of the planet.
Tools for Grassroots Activists by Nora Gallagher
A practical and essential guide to being an effective activist, for any environmental project.
The Hidden Messages in Water by Masaru Emoto
A book with beautiful water crystal images that teaches about the effects of thought and vibration on water.
Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves by James Nestor
An amazing book for anyone interested in the freediving part of mermaiding or learning about the effects water has on the human body.
Initiation into Hermetics by Franz Bardon
I recommend all of Franz Bardon’s books to those who wish to cultivate their senses, mental focus, physical vessel, and astral body to connect with elementals and to be clear channels for their energy. Although elemental research has expanded astronomically since Franz Bardon’s time, his mental and physical exercises are still incredibly attractive and useful for spiritual adepts who want to communicate with elementals, achieve astral travel, and develop mastery over their own thoughts and mental faculties.
