Encounters with Mermaids

“One of the world’s foremost experts on the water element shares his profound knowledge and personal experiences pertaining to this mystical realm. Overflowing with vivid descriptions of undine evocations, insightful meditations for accessing the wisdom of water, and profound reflections on the watery depths of the human psyche, this book will provide readers with a new appreciation for this element as well as clear guidance for beginning their own journey of exploration. Written by an adept magician after decades of research, this is the definitive book on the spirituality of water.” * Virgil, Christian magician and author of The Covert Side of Initiation and The Elemental Equilibrium * “William Mistele excavates the deep mysteries of the sea and the treasures in ancient myths through brilliant use of poetry and prose. As a prominent bard of his time, Mistele makes the energy of magical beings accessible to the layperson, while providing deep insights into practical uses of elemental energy that all practitioners of magic will want to know.” * Elyrria Swann, author of How to Become a Mermaid * “A beautiful, lyrical work of great depth that inspires and teaches.” * Philip Carr-Gomm, author of The Gift of the Night * “William Mistele defies conventional labels; you might call him an alchemist or even a Hermeticist, but his true essence is that of a ‘modern-day bard.’ Unlike traditional bards who weave tales of fantasy, Mistele, much like James Cameron, transports you into a world that is both fantastical and rooted in reality, enriched with science and history. With more than 30 years dedicated to honing his craft, Mistele is akin to an aquanaut exploring the depths of the water element. Few possess his unique ability to blend magic with bard-like storytelling. His work is a must-read for those seeking to understand the profound connections and wonders found within these invisible realms.” * Daniel O’Hara, author of Buddha Fields for Addictions, Tantric Golf, and Krishna’s Kingd * “William Mistele has unique insight to the world of elementals, having studied it seriously his whole life.” * Richard Grossinger, author of Bottoming Out the Universe *
