Tales of mermaids, the protectors and keepers of the water, are nearly universal in all cultures throughout the world. Whether the granters of wishes from European legend, the ancient Assyrian goddess called Atargatis, or Aycayia (“she of the beautiful voice” in Caribbean folklore), mermaids seem to fulfill a very ancient and particular need in the collective human consciousness. The mermaid is the most persistent and pervasive symbol of the old Goddess energy that represents women, possessed of mystery and power. Alternatively saving the lives of lost sailors or luring them to a watery death with their beautiful songs, mermaids possess a dual-sided nature throughout the many myths in which they appear.


Additionally, as water is currently associated with the human unconscious, mermaids can be considered the guardians of the unconscious realms of the mind. As the protectors of the water and all life that resides within, mermaids also protect these unguarded areas and aspects of the darker regions of the human brain. On the front of the pendant, the mermaid swims gently, her tail flowing out behind her as she contemplates her relation to the sea, as represented by the watery patterns within the picture jasper behind her.
