Mariners


 * For the baseball team, see: Seattle Mariners.

Mariners are winged magical fairy-like beings that guard the sea, and those who travel upon it. Though those who anger them will make them respond with force, stemming from their power over wind and storms.

Although magical creatures not seen by mortals, several things have been named after them such as the baseball team the Seattle Mariners, and Mariner's Bluff: a viewpoint in the San Francisco area.

In 1999, Phoebe cast a "Give Me a Sign" spell, to give Piper signs to who was her true love - Leo or Dan. But the spell actually provided signs to where Prue (who had been kidnapped) had been taken. While looking at demons that could have taken Prue, the Book of Shadows flipped itself to the Mariners entry. Phoebe noted that Mariners were good beings, and Piper misinterpreted it as a sign to pick Dan, as he played for the Seattle Mariners; it was actually a sign that Prue was being held at "Mariner's Bluff."
