Selkie Art Print -Folklore Art

‘Selkies, or silkies, are creatures in Celtic and Norse lore which can take both seal and human form. They
can be both men and women, but most common are the stories of beautiful selkie women who briefly
shed their selkie skins to become human in the light of the moon.
In the Scottish isles, it was said that seals were only killed in hard times, or by those who were brash
enough to ignore the superstitions surrounding the killing of a seal. The largest of the seals were said to
be those of the seal folk (sliochd nan ròn), and the largest of them the seal king.’
