I am reading through the Old Testament these days and a couple of days ago I was in 1 Samuel and it was talking about when the Philistines came and took away the ark of the Lord and took it to their camp and set it up by their "dagon god" ...then you know the story, dagon fell down before the ark and they set it up again and the next night it fell down again and broke its arms and head off, so just the trunk was left. So that got me to thinking about why his arms would be up by his head, I mean unless he was reaching up or something then his stone arms would have had to supernaturally move up as if they were bowing to the Lord, as he fell...so I looked up the god dagon online and found out that he looks like a mermaid. (merman) That didn't really answer the arm question, but I found it very interesting that there is an idol who looks just like Ariel. So I looked up the connection between Ariel the Disney mermaid and the god dagon. I found out that almost every pagan culture has a god who is half man half fish, and there was one merman who was supposedly the father of most of them and he was the big macho king of the sea and sun who married his sister and they populated the sea with mermaids. The goal of a mermaid was to get a soul, and theoretically the only way they could do that would be to marry a human or kill a human and steal their soul. (actually I think they also may could have just been really good and earned a soul but I didn't read much about that so I'm not sure) The mermaids then mixed with other stuff and populated the sea with sirens, who where wicked and would misuse their supernatural seductive abilities to sing sailers to their doom so they could steal their souls. (which was what the witch was trying to do in the movie by getting Ariel's voice) The stories behind it are a little different for each culture, but relatively that's the jist of it. Ariel's Daddy if you remember is the king of the sea, and he even has the same name as the (greek? version of the) dagon god, Titan. The voice that was so important in the movie, it had supernatural seductive abilities and would lure men to their doom. However, Ariel decided she wanted to get a soul by marrying a human, instead of killing one. Of course they have made it acceptable to our culture, it's a children's cartoon; they didn't tell you that her voice was satanically seductive or that she was searching for a soul, and they made the witch want to marry Eric instead of eat him and of course they appropriately stuck her in a bra. Plus America wasn't ready yet to accept a real mermaid story, now in fact they do have a horror movie named She Creature about a man eating mermaid, but back when the Little Mermaid came out America wasn't ready for that. That was just the ploy to get us use to the idea. Basically the Little Mermaid is a watered down play off on a god myth, which came to the world many centuries ago through demons.
Furthermore, apparently the makers of the Little Mermaid were into the Da Vinci Code. They made Ariel to be the picture of who they think Mary Magdalene was...the lost bride of Christ. For many centuries Mary Magdalene has been associated with mermaids. (and I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing because the mermaid has long been a symbol of prostitution, as they think Mary was the woman who the pharisees tried to get Jesus to condemn, just as Ariel was condemned by her father unjustly) From her hair color, to her skin, (being dark as the woman in Song of Solomon who was a picture of the bride of Christ who they think is Mary Magdalene) to the book and mirror that she carried, (apparently that had some kind of significance I don't know much about the Da Vinci code). The name Ariel even means "Jerusalem" the bride of Christ. If you remember in the movie Ariel even goes down to an old wrecked ship and looks at human stuff and finds an old painting of a woman with a candle...that is an old painting of Mary Magdalene. That is just blasphemy! In fact my Aunt told me yesterday that she's read the Da Vinci code book and it praises Disney for incorporating so many of their ideas in their movies and being a major factor in bringing the worship of Mary Magdalene to the United States. From what I understand the Catholics originally took Jesus, Mary his mother, and Mary Magdalene and made them into their sun god; kind of a trinity of their sun god reincarnated or something crazy like that, and they've been worshiping those three ever since. It's interesting to note that in some cultures the sea god came out during the day and became the sun god, which leads us back to where we began; the worship of the sea god. All that said do you think the Little Mermaid is simply innocent children's entertainment? I think not! From what I'm seeing the Da Vinci code is the modern cult version of the old worship of the sea god/demon, and that the Little Mermaid is a big asset in pushing their agenda.
Hmmm, makes you wonder about other Disney movies?

This part I found interesting.
"However, Ariel decided she wanted to get a soul by marrying a human, instead of killing one. "
Not in the Disney version.
"Ariel even goes down to an old wrecked ship and looks at human stuff and finds an old painting of a woman with a candle...that is an old painting of Mary Magdalene."
Interesting don't remember that....
Over all most of Disney's movies utilize old cultic story and fluff them up for children....such as the the Gennie in Aladdin.. Genies are the Jinn who are demonic beings who grant wishes with an evil twist.
Islamic magic spirit: in Islamic folklore, a spirit that can take on various human and animal forms and makes mischievous use of its supernatural powers.
Great post :D :D me likes haha
God Bless!!!
*eyes get big* Woah! My goodness....it DOES make you wonder, doesn't it? Just a little bit of poison added to the mix, hm? Satan will use ANYTHING and EVERYTHING he can to break down our walls. And if you give him an inch, he will definitely take a mile. Look where America is at now? mmmmm ...*shakes head* Wow. GREAT post, Jess. **is printing it out** :)
Ariel is an Archangel name (see 'Other' section, below) from the Hebrew אֲרִיאֵל "Lion or Lioness of God." Archangel Ariel is known as the Angel of Healing and New Beginnings. In English, Ariel is pronounced "air-ee-ul";
In Hebrew, Ariel (pronounced Ari'el), literally means 'Lion of God'. "Ari" (Lion) in Hebrew is also a synonym for bravery and courage and it is also the symbol of the tribe of Judah. Ariel in the Hebrew Bible is one of the names for Jerusalem and the Temple of Jerusalem (Isaiah 29:1-8).
Isaiah 29 Read This Chapter
29:1
Woe, O Ariel, F391 Ariel F391 the city {where} David {once} camped! R1026 Add year to year, observe F392 R1027 {your} feasts on schedule.
29:2
I will bring distress to Ariel, And she will be {a city of} lamenting and mourning; R1028 And she will be like an Ariel to me.
29:3
I will camp R1029 against you encircling F393 {you,} And I will set siegeworks against you, And I will raise up battle towers against you.
29:4
Then you will be R1030 brought low; From the earth you will speak, And from the dust {where} you are prostrate Your words {will come.} Your voice will also be like that of a spirit F394 from the ground, And your speech will whisper from the dust.
29:5
But the multitude of your enemies F395 will become like fine dust, R1031 And the multitude of the ruthless R1032 ones like the chaff which blows F396 away; And it will happen instantly, R1033 suddenly.
29:6
From the LORD of hosts you will be punished R1034 with thunder R1035 and earthquake and loud noise, {With} whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.
29:7
And the multitude R1036 of all the nations who wage war against Ariel, F397 Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, Will be like a dream, a vision R1037 of the night.
29:8
It will be as when a hungry man dreams-- And behold, he is eating; But when he awakens, his hunger F398 is not satisfied, Or as when a thirsty man dreams-- And behold, he is drinking, But when he awakens, behold, he is faint And his thirst F398 is not quenched. Thus R1038 the multitude of all the nations will be Who wage war against Mount Zion.
The name Ariel even means "Jerusalem" the bride of Christ.
where did you get this definition?
אֲרִיאֵל="Lion of God"
hehe :P

I did a poor job relaying the truth about her name in my post, I was under the impression it meant Jerusalem, but going back to read the article I got that from, yes they were referring to that passage in Isaiah 29, Ariel being a synonym for Jerusalem, allegory if you will, not the literal meaning. I'm sorry about that and somebody has already pointed that out to me once. :P Here I'll get the link of the site where I got that from:
