lurnos:@fyeahmyths two week summer eventday one: North American deity → SednaThe legend of this sea goddess, though known in various regions by different names, is one of the most widespread Inuit myths. Although there are many variations of Sedna’s story they all end in much the same way: with her father pushing her into the raging sea as she clings desperately to the edge of his boat. As the girl struggles to save herself, he draws his knife and cuts through three of her fingers. The severed fingers drift off on the waves and become the seals, walruses, and whales of the sea. Sedna herself sinks to the sea floor, where she dwells to this day as the powerful Inuit goddess of the sea and marine life, the Mother of the Deep. -- source link
