The Selkie Story

A seal swims in the moonlight.

Coming ashore, they shed their seal skin and shapeshift into human form, leaving their skin hidden among the rocks.

In many old tales, a man discovers the skin and steals it, binding the Selkie to him in wedlock. Years pass on land, the sea always calling to them – shells, salt air, and the tide constant reminders of the life they once had.

But Selkies never forget their true nature.

One day, through chance, help, or quiet searching, the lost skin is found again. When the Selkie finally puts it on, their true self returns.

The Selkie slips back into the sea – free once more.
