Looking for a Mermaid Spell (hahahaha!)

[Mermaid Varshana]

Oh man...that reminds me of the batshit insane fan pages that populated the Internet back in the late 90's. remember that crazy gif-ridden stuff made by Webmonkey tutorials and general high school boredom? Yeah. This looks like it was borne out of Angelfire/Tripod's deepest, darkest bowels.

A lot of the more outrageous questions are asked by trolls, which at least let's me believe that not everyone is that stupid. You can usually check by looking at the other questions they might have asked.

Oh gosh that question...

I find that Yahoo answers/questions are mainly filled with troll questions. However, if I'm wrong and the asks/answers were serious, then I fear for humanity.

I think the question was asked by a child and the answer was given by someone who did not think that they could be helping a child to kill themself by accident

My parents taught me enough common sense to get the gist that stuff like this was make-believe by the time I was 5, certainly by 8. Definitely by the time most kids understand how to internet. What the hell, dudes O.o

I'm just baffled that this girl calls herself a witch and then asks for a transformation spell. I assume she's talking about wicca, and I'm not aware of any branch of that with anything like transformation (maybe some kind of meditation that lets you FEEL like something else, but nothing like this!) Maybe this is just some weird Harry Potter or H2O roleplay thats peeking out into the real world? Or at least as "real" as Yahoo Answers ever gets, heh.

You'd be surprised how many people I get on my witchcraft blog asking for mermaid transformation spells or spells to transform themselves into fairies or dragons or something. I usually ignore them and hope they're trolls but then there are the people who ask off anon and when I look at that blog I can tell they're totally serious :/

o.O Oh no... My cousin had told me something about this, but it was with vampires. Like, people she met seriously thought they were vampires, and they seriously thought she was like them (She had been doing something for Steampunk with her LARP persona). We thought it was her English at first when she told me, but then we looked at the website they asked her to visit... No, they were serious, we didn't misinterpret them. **facepalm**

Oh my gosh xD Yes, that photo sums things up nicely.

That's... well, wow. That's special right there. You only do that kind of research if you're writing about it and then you word it differently. .... >.>

There are many magick communities that actually practice magick as well as writing about it. So no, you can research for more than writing. In fact one would hope that an author is actually an expert in their subject matter instead of simply doing a researching project. Unfortunately, more and more, the people writing about things could not actually perform them if their life depended upon it.
Most people know that magick works within the confines of certain physical realities. Each of these realities must be tackled piece meal first before further progress is made. Yet and still such a transmogrification on the physical plane is beyond a lifetime given current physical and spiritual technologies.

[Amphitrite]

You're right. I was thinking more from a personal perspective as being a writer (albeit unpublished).

[Mermaid Danielle]

I don't even know what to say to this. I'm sure someone was just trying to be funny, but still...

Thanks for this, Golden Pearl.

The world is a much stranger place than many people really want to believe. I think that's why the traditions that teach how to manipulate Qi, Prana, or whatever else you want to call the dual energies, insist on such discipline and secrecy. Every now and then, the veil gets pulled back, though. I thought maybe this video made by English documentary director Lawrence Blair might get people thinking outside the box.

Chang comes from a martial arts school of training. I happen to have been able to learn a small amount about another school of Qi work, white tigress, but that's something people will have to find out for themselves.

In all my studies, though, I have never come across anything where people have credibly claimed to change their bodies into another form, a la Harry Potter, those myths seem to have come from the pens of opponents, and fantasy writers. Note, though, that JK Rowling did insert references into her Harry Potter books to European masters of energy work from the past.
