The world of Greenlandic mythology is inhabited by a motley crew of dangerous, cheeky, and fantastical beings that have played a vital role in Inuit beliefs and stories throughout the ages. A brief history of Greenland and the shaman tradition launched the reader into the ancient traditions of Greenland. The Bestiarium is a collection of what is generally known about these diverse beings, spirits, and animals and a description of their appearance and features paired with illustrations by various contributors.
Illustrations by contemporary Greenlandic and Nordic artists transport the mythological beings into the 21st This new, edited edition of the book features a publisher introduction by Neil Christopher and a re-translated and edited chapter on "Shamans, witches, and witchcraft" by Robin Fenrir Mansa Hillestr m.
