This awesome sketch art card of Igaluk & Malina from Inuit Mythology is drawn by the very talented artist Stacey Kardash :iconskardash: for our Classic Mythology trading card set.


Igaluk - In Inuit mythology, Igaluk is one of the most powerful gods of the pantheon. He is a lunar deity. In Greenland, he is known as Aningan. According to Inuit mythology, Igaluk and his sister Malina lived together in a village. They were very close when young, but came to live apart as they grew older, in the lodges for women and for men. One day, as Igaluk looked at the women, he found that his sister was the most beautiful. And so that night, as everyone slept, he crept into the women's dwelling and forced her. As it was dark, Malina was unable to tell who her attacker was, but the next night, when the same thing happened, she covered her hands with the soot from the lamps and smeared Igaluk's face with it. Afterwards, she took a lamp and looked through the skylight of the men's lodge. She was surprised to find that the man was Igaluk, her own brother. Malina became red and hot with shame. She took a whisk of moss from the heap by the lamp, dipped it in the blubber and lit it, and she ran out. Igaluk wanted to follow her, but he was in such a hurry that he didn't get his moss lit very well. "We must run far away and never see each other again," said Malina. And at the same moment they became spirits and were lifted up in the sky, where they continued their flight. Malina (Sun) has the stronger warmer light, because her whisk of moss burns clearly. Her brother Igaluk (Moon), who pursues her but never can catch up with her, has the weaker colder light.
