Well you know what they say - you can lead a horse to water, but he might end up drowning you. Or, something along those lines 😅
You should totally make a video about ocean dwelling spirits!!!

Don,t go near the water....bit hard not to on the banks of the Mersey and the Dee....we have our fair share of water nymphs and suchlike...thanks for sharing...
Now I wonder about what creatures that are in seas and salt water. Thinking for character concept
As enthralling as ever! If you haven't seen it yet, may I recommend "Geat and Maethild", a recent upload on the Northworthy Sagas and Stories channel here on KZread, featuring a troublesome water spirit.
so cool. I wish we had some of that stories as kids. thank you
Maybe try Time Team on KZread...currently featured a look at Vikings....happy viewing..

I have a question: is the fossegrim a single entity or a species?
I am a descendant of Melusine.
