Mermaid: In folklore and fables, a mermaid is a sea creature with the head and chest of a human female and the tail of a fish. Mermaids show up in the legends of numerous societies around the world, including the Near East, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The first stories appeared in old Assyria, in which the goddess Atargatis changed herself into a mermaid out of disgrace for unintentionally murdering her human lover. Mermaids are sometimes connected with dangerous occasions—for example, floods, tempests, shipwrecks, and drownings. Sailors have been hypnotized by their singing voice, which lured them into the depths of the water and to their deaths. “Merman” is the male equivalent of the mermaid, and in stories and heraldry, mermen are less common than their female counterparts. It is also thought that in ancient folklore, sailors who saw a mermaid were, in fact, seeing a manatee.

Midsummer: Midsummer, known as the “summer solstice,” happens between June 20 and June 22. This celebration, set up in old midsummer traditions, honors the longest day of summer and is embedded with unbelievable accounts of imps, fairies, and pixies. In a period before the Protestant and Lutheran reformations in England, individuals would eat and light open-air fires for the duration of the night to safeguard from evil spirits. Different people partook in the ceremonies by hopping over the flames. The highest jump of the night anticipated the tallness of yields for the coming season. For present-day Druids and Wiccans, midsummer speaks of a time to return to nature. Everything on the planet is blooming with fertility, the goddess is pregnant, and the sun god is at peak masculinity. Many people will congregate at dawn and watch the sunrise in the sky. Midsummer is an opportunity to celebrate the abundance of life, being aware that colder days are ahead.

Midwinter: In the Northern Hemisphere, the winter solstice falls between December 20 and December 22. It is the shortest day of the year (the day with the least light and the longest night). In ancient times, the winter solstice was celebrated in many cultures, marking the death and rebirth of the sun.

Mindfulness: To be aware of the movement of one’s body, thoughts, or emotions while in the waking state.

Mind Manifestation: A thought is a living thing. To make something happen using the power of the mind. Certain people can summon precisely what they want by focusing their mind and concentrating on a desire. They can attain positive realities, such as riches, health, or a prosperous life. On the downside, the power of the mind can also create negative occurrences. For example, if a person is fearful of being burglarized and stays awake half the night listening to noises, they can manifest that energy and go on to experience a break-in. The same can be said if one is continually focusing on their health and frets over getting diseases such as dementia or cancer. Being preoccupied with a particular worry can, in turn, manifest it. (Church and Dispenza, 2018.)
