i've always seen it spelled 'silkies' but selkies is a little closer to how i say it..
has anyone seen the secret of roan inish'? or under the glacier (that's an icelandic film!)- both feature silkies and the silkie myths.. and its not just men who are silkies, more often than not, it is women who fall in love with a fisherman, and follow him back to shore, and come to live with him (where would a male seal have a chance to meet a woman?)
and many stories involve fisherman being saved by their wifes, who in storms, went back into the sea to save their beloved husbands. (and some stories are tragic, of men who steal the silkies skin, and keep them trapped on shore.. and later, die at sea, since their wifes cannot put on there skin and rescue them..)
the secret of roan inish is available in most 'blockbuster' or other large chains, sometimes its in the childrens section.. (it works on several levels, and kids can enjoy it as a fairy tale like movie.)
