>)))*>  Secrets of the Sea &lt;*)))&lt;
The Creatures Fantastic series is a unique way to journey into the world of myth and legend. If you are interested in why seafarers thought they saw mermaids, this video even has a real mermaid they found swimming in the ocean. (I'm joking, but it is well acted) The tales of these seductive sirens calling to sailors is intriguing.<br /><br />Zoe Wanamaker narrates and sheds new light on the story of Jonah and reveals why fish were worshipped in times past. A main theme is how the sea is a tomb and a womb. While amusing, the shark god/surfboard scenes seemed out of place. Someone has a real sense of humor.<br /><br />If you want more information on the Syrian Mood Goddess or why Christians used the symbol of  a fish when persecuted, you will find this a creative way to gain insight into various ideas.<br /><br />I loved the section when they mentioned that if you gaze into the mirror of a mermaid, you will behold your true self. Sometimes I think we are all mirrors to one another to bring out our true selves.<br /><br />A look at how we interpret the stories today.<br /><br />~The Rebecca Review
