I didn´t know that possession by mermaid spirits (!) was a thing, and that charismatic Christians try to exorcise them. Not just in Namibia, but also in the United States?!
Note how the little girl is being publicly exorcized with the full support of her parents. Her "crime" is apparently that she said she was a mermaid after seeing a fake documentary on YouTube...
I knew that some charismatics were wild, but this trumped even my worst expectations!
The clip is narrated by a former exorcist (!!) who is now an atheist.
Tror den här damen kan behöva en rejäl exorcism. Mycket svårare fall än flickan i klippet.

My personal take on our mermaid predicament:

Perhaps the Christians had read something like this and had drawn consequences (although misguided ones).

Another possibility is that people make a connection between "Trans-people", Otherkin and Furries. So everyone who LARP as a mermaid is automatically suspected of being somehow "trans".
ReplyDeleteIn "Three books of occult philosofy", Agrippa writes about "well known cases" of people changing their sex by way of magic. If i rember corectly it was mentioned in connection with lycantropy. As if people doubting lycantropy should reconsider if they accepted the existence of magical sex changes.
ReplyDeleteI guess lycantropy could be seen as some kind of Furrieism.

ReplyDeleteAt least according to rumour, the Swedish renegade queen Kristina was an alchemist and may have wanted to change her sex/gender.
Hmmm...
