Written in the stars is a constellation called the pentagram of Venus and the beehive. It was a June summer night. The month of the pearl. The market had palms in the garden centers. The book of superstitions briefly mentions mermaids. How have they discovered the evolution of the mermaid? The folklore that summer made me realize there is some truth to uncover with some of these superstitions. Here is what I have discovered from nutrition to religion and environmental information.

Signs a human’s body is trying to morph into a mermaid tail could be something known as a peripheral edema. The water retention in the legs. You would have to wonder what they had been exposed to. This wouldn’t be the only ingredient needed to make a partial transformation. Algae is a powerful omega-3 in combination with other omegas like fish and coconut. It is possible to grow scales. It also depends on some topical solutions of these types of ingredients. A nutrient rich algae called a bloom is known for rapid growth. You may have heard someone referred to as a hetero. This is an algae term. They are classified on biases such as temperature, salt content and color. One out of one hundred thousand births have a mermaid syndrome, followed by a death shortly after birth. Except one birth that had extensive surgeries, lived to the age of twenty seven.

An afro-caribbean religion believes in the Ocean Mother Goddess. It was the sixteenth century when this was brought over to the new world during a trade. The very first mermaid was a fertility goddess, says archaeologists. Folklore says when there is a mermaid death the sea foam will appear. Mermaids are supposed to be long living according to folklore. Folklore wants us to believe in a few magical elements that mermaids should be able to present. Some people have said that the bible with the stories of Ezekiel has a reference to mermaids. This will most likely need interpretation because there is no clear indication of a mermaid in the chapter. It talks of healing after a fish migration from the sea to the river. The fish shall be according to their kinds. It may be that folklore has it that they are trying to transform into mermaids during the salmon migration by finding a matching blood type in the fish and then they can be returned to the sea. Or at that time they had no means of starting a fire and ate raw fish and were in need of healing after that. However, the salmon migrate up river to mating grounds and change the color of their fish skin depending on their location. The fruit in this part of the story may be about gathering fertilized salmon eggs for a sanctuary and casting nets on the adult salmon when they return to the sea.

Certain parts of the world have different kinds of food resources. Some people have a tropical diet of seafood and tropical fruits. When they brought people to the new world they may have traveled further inland away from their usual diet source. The salmon migration healed them and their plants. And they started a hatchery for sustainable food sources. Seeds used to be a well known trade item because they are light for travel with many in quantity and provide a food source. Eggs and fertilizer were also good trade. Cooking food thoroughly, even plants, will prevent a harsh reaction. In case of any kind of poison exposure constantly use a charcoal product for a while and check a pH chart for foods and drinks.
