Registration notes: As far back as before stories were written down, the Kelpies and Selkies have served as a cautionary tale. The need to explain the unexplainable fed into the incredible tales of creatures and the world of the fae. This tartan design is broken into two portions; blues to represent the water and neutral tones for the earth. Black is intended to represent the malevolent Kelpie, which inhabits the water and is said to appear as a horse on land to lure man to his death. In contrast, the grey and brown are intended to represent the playful and curious Selkie, which takes human form on land and that of a seal in the water where it will save the lives of those in peril.
