Selkies or "The Selkie Folk" are a type of magical Shapeshifter of Scottish Folklore. They are Seals that can shapeshift into humans by removing their sealskin. If a females Sealskin is stolen she becomes your bride and is forced to remain until she recovers her skin. The Male Selkie is much more proactive. With the Males taking their skin off and hiding it and going into town to find a woman unmarried or otherwise to romance, as the males are irresistible to women. There was even a spell for unhappy women of going down to the shore and crying seven tears into the shore the Male Selkie will appear and ravish them, at times turning them into Selkies and taking them into the sea with them. One theory is that the Selkies were Irish and other island fishermen who used Seal skins as diving clothes for hunting seals.-TLK
