After reading new pieces of literature and analyzing short films that focused on untold history and multicultural spirits (which we went over in class as well), this made me want to revisit my second discovery, and incorporate more historical information and credible sources to back up my claims and arguments. Considering my second discovery consisted of Mesoamerican water spirit Tlanchana, I would like to showcase more of the parallels between ancient societies in regards to folklore and specifically as it relates to water deities and these connections will be made by accessing the Penguins Book of Mermaids, as well as Scaled for Success: The Internationalisation of the Mermaid by Philip Hayward which speaks of this phenomenon. I am still at the part where I am trying to conceptualize the “So What?” part of my thesis but I intend for it to demonstrate the influence the environment has on humanity and how altering ones perception of the environment (introducing new theologies and forbidding previous beliefs) can result in a form of desensitization where one may slowly start losing the connection they once had with nature.
