Description
full title: Sedna : Inuit Goddess of Sea Animalsmy final submission for the Neosynthesis Chronicle - C17 : Myth
Sedna is the Inuit goddess of sea animals..
Sedna is believed to live under the Sea in a house of whale-bones and stones, and rule the realm of Adliden or Adlivin, where the Dead go to cleanse themselves of the sins of their lives.
Inuit Shamans sometimes journey to Her. In the ritual they bring a comb and use it to brush out Her long tangled hair, which She can't do Herself as She no longer has any hands. By soothing Her and treating Her with compassion, they hope to calm Her and gain wisdom. Her Iglulik Inuit equivilant, Takanakapsaluk, like Sedna, receives the dead and causes misfortune, but is known also as a healer who helps hunters.

Nerrivik? The fish and water are great, I really do like this. I've heard "Takanakapsaluk" around before, but I believe it's just another name for "Sedna".
