The Selkie's Lament

This beautiful celtic piece of music is a favourite of mine from Ireland and The Chieftains called Wind From The South

 

None of the clips are video. These are all my own photographic "stills" edited in the magic of a program called Photo Mirage (except for the seal clip)

 

 

A selkie is a legendary shape shifter, a seal in the ocean that can shed it's skin and become human on land. The males especially were known to seduce human women.

It is part of both Celtic and Icelandic lore.

 

The clan Macodrum on Uist, an island of the Hebrides claim to be descendants of such a union between Selkie and human!!
