Melusine is a figure of European folklore, a female spirit of fresh water in a holy well or river. She can help build strong family connections/bonds, ancestors, beauty, water element, disabilities, protection & self love; encourages you to stay strong and true to yourself, Protects women, and punishes those that mistreat women.

She is linked to the Manatee - which gives extra properties of vital breath (prana), water, shapeshifting, protection, and spiritual love, generosity, compassion, curiosity, peace, and trust; the creature also symbolises emotion, tranquility, and measured movement.

Melusine is usually depicted as a woman who is a serpent or fish from the waist down (much like a mermaid). Sometimes as part woman, and part dragon. She protected her deformed children from being slaughtered; and is seen as a patroness of the deformed & disabled. Sometimes she's illustrated with wings, two tails, or both.

Her legends are especially connected with the northern and western areas of France, Luxembourg, and the Low Countries. The Limburg-Luxemburg dynasty, which ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1308 to 1437 as well as Bohemia and Hungary, the House of Anjou and their descendants the House of Plantagenet (kings of England) and the French House of Lusignan (kings of Cyprus from 1205–1472, and for shorter periods over Armenia and Jerusalem) are said in folk tales and medieval literature to be descended from Melusine… some of those lines are of and/or connected to my own family tree & ancestors. Which makes Melusine’s story even that more special to me.
