Marie-Morgane

In Brittany, the "Marie-Morgane" (often compared to mermaids or, in French, "sirènes"), lured sailors with their hypnotic voices and sat in the water to comb their hair seductively. They were believed to live near coasts, at cave entrances and at the mouths of rivers.

The "Marie-Morgane", who were well-versed in evil spells, would drag young men underwater and the men would never be seen again.

Stella Maris

Mary, Star of the Sea, has been a beloved title for those who make a living by or on the sea, as she is the calmer of storms and a guiding light.

Sailors solely relied on key stars to help them navigate where they were going. During the Middle Ages, the North Star actually went by the name “Stella Maris”. Sailors can always rely on the North Star to lead them, as it remains fixed in the same location throughout the night.
Similarly, Mary remains firm in heaven helping to guide souls and offering her protection.
