Sedna - Inuit Mother of the Deep - Extra Mythology

The story of Sedna has many different versions. In some, she marries a bird spirit where things don't quite work out as she hopes. In some, she's a giant, eating too much for the community to sustain itself. Sometimes her father does the terrible deed reluctantly, other times, the violence is malicious. But in all stories, Sedna sinks to the bottom of the waves to become the Mother of the Sea.

It's just like Sam O'Nella would say: "NO MORE FINGY FOODS FOR THREE MOONS!"

[abcdef]

Sedna: A sea goddess that absolutly HATES people throwing junk at water.

Iemanja: A sea goddess from Afro-Brazilian mythology, who appreciates gifts that includes objects throw into the sea, like mirrors or statues of herself.

Just imagine if they know each other...

“That’s it, no more fingy foods for three moons!”

4:29 wait, how did she make a boat out of seal skins before if seals didn’t exist until this moment?

I heard a different version of this story.
The girl was taken away by a bird spirit and lived on the island of birds.
But when she tried to escape with her father the bird spirit caused the storm!

I’ve never heard a longer telling of this story, always just the father throwing her overboard, cutting off her fingers, and the animals that resulted from it. It’s very interesting to hear the extra details you can find on it.

2:28 Her dad: "Oh gods, I can't be known as 'the Magic dog grandpa'! I prefer 'who left his child to die'. Yep, that's much better."

Man, this series kicks butt. When I was a kid I had a DK Illustrated book of myths and legends. This one was in there. I can't believe it's showing up now on EC!

[TheCutethulhu]

This myth is so damn good. Also, for any fan of SCP and the Containment series, this hits pretty hard.

[miscellaneoussarnian]

Seal: Hey, uh, Sedna, bad news. I just caught a guy chewing a piece of blubber.

[nelsonchereta]

0:33 "Blissfully ignorant of what was to come." Focuses in on knife. "Oh, this isn't going to be a happy one, is it?"

[arnandozlopez]

NO MORE FINGY FOODS FOR 3 MOONS!!!!

(if you know u know)

[swedishbloke]

How did she make a boat of seal skins but later she “created” the seals?

[CliffCardi]

If Sedna can have an episode, then so can Tarrare.
