mermaid work tips 🌊

orriculum:

🌊  should you ever come across a mermaid who asks ask you “is (king) alexander alive?” (or, "Ζει ο Βασιλεύς Αλέξανδρος;“) always reply with “he lives and reigns and conquers the world” (“Ζει και βασιλεύει και τον κόσμον κυριεύει”), otherwise she will be angered and curse you. this is from a greek legend in which alexander the great’s sister was turned into a mermaid in her death.

🌊  in european/british mermaid lore, a mermaid who tells you that you are near shore/land, has doomed you for the opposite. however, telling you you will never see the shore again is just as dooming. 

🌊  speaking to mermaids often results in storm activity, as they tend to bring it with them.
