  • Prompt: Mythical Beings of French Folklore: Mélusine prompt: Mélusine is a creature that is half-woman, half-serpent, or half-woman, half-dragon. Depending on the story, she is the product of a union between a mortal and a supernatural being. She is often linked to waters, such as rivers and fountains, which she protects or inhabits. Mélusine is often described as a woman of great beauty, but with a monstrous appearance (a serpent's tail or dragon's wings) that she conceals. The legendary Mélusine is a fascinating figure in medieval European folklore, particularly present in French and Anglo-Saxon traditions. Here's what characterizes her: She marries Raymondin, a nobleman, on one condition: that he never see her on Saturdays, the day she reveals her true appearance by bathing. But one day, he betrays his promise and Mélusine, devastated, disappears, sometimes to haunt her descendants. Mélusine represents ambiguity, both human and supernatural, benevolent but also dangerous. She embodies rich themes such as betrayal, broken promises, and the limits of love and trust. Mélusine is an inspiring figure in art, literature, and even heraldry, often associated with noble dynasties, such as the Lusignans.
