Liban Mermaid of Ireland~
This is the name of a legendary Ireland Mermaid. The Liban was
originally the daughter of Eochaid and Etain who were caught up in the floods of a sacred spring that had been neglected. She was carried to an underwater cavern with her pet dog. Whilest the rest of her community, except Conang and Curman was destroyed, Liban was trapped for a year until she prayed that she might be as the fishes. Liban was tranformsed into the body human woman and the tail of a salmon below the waist. So Liban remained with her human form above as before she was a now part-fish. Her dog was changed into an otter. Now a Mermaid; Liban had become free, but remained below the water until after three hundred years. A cleric named Beoc heard her singing and she asked him to bring her out of the water and take her to Saint Comgall. Saint Comgall then baptized Liban and then gave her the choice of another three hundred years of life or immediate entry to heaven. Liban chose the latter... Liban can be seen in many carvings in Church's, pews, columns of many St. Church's, and the road that she took to see Saint Comgall.
I found this legend of the legendary Ireland Mermaid to be quite fascinating and beautiful how it is connected with the church.. Wendy ... Enjoy -ooo)
Cactus Cat
This is about a creature from the folklore of the lumberjacks of the

The Cactus Cat was described as having fur that looks like a hedgehog or even that of a porcupine. His spines that are all over his body consist to his his ears to some areas the spines may be particularly long and spiky protuberances of sharp bone and are similarly armored on his tail too. Which is branched out in many different directions.
The Cactus Cat had a taste for the fermented juice of the Cactus in desert. At night it is known to slash their trunks which makes the juice of the cactus flow from several at once. The Cactus Cat will
then return to the cactus juice that they slash after it has fermentation has occurred. When they drink the juice and do so quickly these Cactus Cats will become intoxicated with this juice after which humans heard their wild shrieks and cries throughout the night. This magical Creature belongs to a group of beings affectionately know as the Fearsome Critters...
