About The Book
Profound mermaid wisdom on the elemental kingdom, universal love, and the depths of empathy
• Shares the author’s interviews with four water elemental queens, also known as undines or mermaids, evocatively sharing their wisdom, magic, and love
• Reveals that the oceans of the earth are the outer expression of an inner kingdom of love that we each can experience
• Presents exercises and attunements to awaken your mermaid intuitive and empathic abilities and develop an inner connection to rivers, lakes, and oceans as well as the inexhaustible love of the mermaid kingdom
Taking you directly into the realm of the water spirits, William Mistele shares his profound encounters with mermaids, revealing spiritual truths about the elemental kingdom, universal love, and the necessity of empathy.
Using the magical methods of Hermeticist Franz Bardon, the author makes direct contact with four water elemental queens, also known as undines or mermaids, evocatively sharing their wisdom, magic, and love. Like their fellow elementals—salamanders (fire), sylphs (air), and gnomes (earth)—undines are united with, and personify, their element of water. Their energy is deeply feminine: cool, soothing, and gentle, yet also nurturing and supportive. Mermaids are deeply empathic, sensitive, and responsive. They accept, affirm, and seek to draw together, bond, join, and unite. The author shows how, even when incarnated in human form, mermaids do not lose this powerful feminine empathic magic.
Speaking through the author, the mermaids reveal that the oceans of the Earth are the outer expression of an inner kingdom of love. Personifying this magical love intertwined with profound empathy and compassion, mermaids are able to contain within themselves the soul of any being so as to shelter, inspire, and transform. The mermaids reveal how their abilities—especially empathy, harmony with nature, and a cooperative rather than combative relationship with the world—are latent in us all and crucial to humanity’s spiritual growth and survival.
Sharing elemental exercises and attunements, the author shows how we each can awaken mermaid intuitive and empathic abilities and develop an inner connection to rivers, lakes, and oceans as well as the inexhaustible love of the mermaid kingdom. When we experience this love, we will no longer perceive nature as external to ourselves. Rather, like these magical beings of water, we will feel united with nature from the core of our being.

– 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
“Mistele’s eloquent prose and profound insights make this a must-read for anyone fascinated by mermaids, spirituality, or the mysteries of water. Whether you come to the book as a skeptic or a believer, you will find yourself swept away by the beauty and depth of Mistele’s adventures in the realm of mermaids.”
– Alanna Kali, Musing Mystical
