Despite appearances to the contrary, the Goddess Salacia plays quite a significant role in this NFT. Consort of Neptune, they co-rule the deep seas. The Goddess Salacia is one of the cosmic, alchemical mermaids. Her name is derived from the word for “salt” which is an important alchemical substance. Salacia embodies the energy of sunlight in water - a dance of fire and water.
As alluded to above, owing to a shy nature, mermaids are rarely seen. Salacia even hid from her prospective husband to be, causing King Neptune to send a dolphin emissary with a gift of a beautiful pearl as a show of good faith. In the end she was pursuaded to return to Neptune and together they went on to have a productive union.
