The magick time of reflections

There is a certain time I like to be at the beach. It is the magick time of reflections. The time that Sun sends its rays of sunlight at the sea with an angle which send back the magickal reflections.

It is a time that you could see at those reflections the sea fearies coming at the surface. Their image stays at the sea surface for as long as lasts this time of reflections.

If you leave the eyes of your soul open you could see them. If you stop trying to expain the evident you will feel them playing and dancing at the surface of the endless blue.

Open your heart and you will see them... the ancient daughters of Nereus... the nymphs of the sea... the Nereids.

In Greek mythology , the Nereids (NEER-ee-eds) are blue-haired sea nymphs, the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris. They often accompany Poseidon and are always friendly and helpful towards sailors fighting perilous storms. They are associated with the Mediterranean Sea . The most notable of them is Thetis, wife of Peleus and mother of Achilles; and Amphitrite, wife of Poseidon .

In Iliad XVIII, when Thetis cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for the slain Patroclus , "there gathered round her every goddess, every Nereid that was in the deep salt sea. Glauce was there and Thaleia and Cymodoce ; Nesaea, Speio , Thoe and ox-eyed Halie ; Cymothoe , Actaee and Limnoreia ; Melite, Iaera , Amphithoe and Agaue ; Doto , Proto , Pherusa and Dynamene; Dexamene , Amphinome and Callianeira ; Doris, Panope and far-sung Galatea ; Nemertes , Apseudes and Callianassa . Clymene came too, with Ianeira , Ianassa , Maera , Oreithuia , Amatheia of the lovely locks, and other Nereids of the salt sea depths.

These beautiful fairies have born and live close to their father, Nereus, the eldest son of Pontus and Gaia , the Sea and the Earth. They both live and haunt the Aegean Sea, the most beautiful sea of the world.

I am a creature who belongs to this sea. I feel the salt that comes from this sea filling my body, be part of my blood. I have born a few meters from this sea. I smelled this sea at my first breath.
This sea could transform me... could give me the inside peace I need. This sea hides so much ancient secrets.
This sea is the home of the sea nymphs, the Nereid, and that particular time... that magick time... the time of reflections, calls them to start the ancient dance.


It is up to us to see them.
It is up to us to enjoy the sea and its creatures.
