This is actually taken from the Denver Aquarium. This is usually far out of what I normally shoot but it turned out so good I had to share it.

Roger Payne, the scientist who spurred a worldwide environmental conservation movement with his discovery that whales could sing, has died. He was 88.

Payne made the discovery in 1967 during a research trip to Bermuda in which a Navy engineer provided him with a recording of curious underwater sounds documented while listening for Russian submarines. Payne identified the haunting tones as songs whales sing to one another.

He saw the discovery of whale song as a chance to spur interest in saving the giant animals, who were disappearing from the planet. Payne would produce the album “Songs of the Humpback Whale” in 1970. A surprise hit, the record galvanized a global movement to end the practice of commercial whale hunting and save the whales from extinction.

Spell for prosperity (siren/selkie friendly)

Preparation of Your Underwater Cave:

1. Choose Your Space: Find a cozy corner of your underwater cave, preferably adorned with shimmering shells and swaying seaweed. This spot should feel warm and inviting.

2. Set the Mood: Dim the glowing bioluminescent algae lights for a soft, calming ambiance. Arrange colorful coral branches and smooth pebbles in a circle to create a sacred space.

3. Gather Your Offerings: Forage nearby waters for magical items that resonate with abundance and good fortune. Consider these offerings:

- Seashells: Collect a variety of seashells, especially those that are vibrant and unique, symbolizing beauty and luck.

- Starfish: A freshly found starfish, representing renewal and opportunity.

- Pearls: If you can find any, pearls embody prosperity and are a perfect offering.

- Seaglass: Smooth, colorful pieces of seaglass representing transformation and the beauty of change.

- Seaweed: Gather strands of edible seaweed, known for their nourishing qualities and connection to the ocean.

4. Create Your Altar: Arrange your offerings in the center of your circle finsish by draping the seaweed artistically around the altar to complete the look.

The Spell: Once your space is prepared, take a moment to breathe deeply and connect with the flow of the ocean. With your offerings in place, whisper the following spell three times, allowing your voice to resonate with the rhythm of the water:

"By silver moon’s soft glow, And whispers of the brine, Spirits of the deep I summon, In this cavern, let thee shine.

O currents swift, O waves so bold, Bring forth treasures from the fold. With coral’s light and shells so rare, Bestow upon me fortune’s care.

From ocean’s heart to shore’s embrace, Let bounty flow in endless grace. By sea’s own will and ancient lore, Grant me luck, forevermore.

So mote it be, by tide and sea, With mermaid’s charm, I claim my plea!"

Final Offering: After reciting the spell, close your eyes and visualize your wishes for good luck and prosperity filling your underwater cave. Once you've felt the energy settle, gently release your offerings into the water outside of your cave, allowing them to drift freely. This act symbolizes your intentions being released into the universe, inviting positivity into your world.

It's really big...

And bonus

Sometimes I think that I need to stop with my AU... I feel that I'm doing something wrong...

A serene green sea turtle glides through crystal-clear water above a vibrant coral reef, while a dense school of fish shimmers nearby, mirroring the sun-dappled surface above. It's a snapshot of peaceful coexistence under the sea that feels both lively and tranquil all at once.
