Mermaid Stamps by Eric Whollem
Numerous stamps from Mermaid realms can be found on the
links below. Other stamps are on my files and will be published
on my blog from time to time.
A few years back I wrote a book, entitled, 'The Mystery of the
Mermaids: Goddesses and Gods of the Sea.' Mermaids have
appeared in my art since the 1970's. My view of the mermaid
and merman is that they are angelic spirits. The ancient Greeks
regarded the Nereid, or mermaid of the salt sea, as a savior of
sailors lost at sea.
Mermaids of inland places, or the Naiads, are prophetic spirits.
The mermaid on this stamp from Merreminde is a Nereid.
The Selkie, is a Celtic mermaid, conceived of as a shape
shifter.
