Overview

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. 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. A brief history of Greenland and the shaman tradition launched the reader into the ancient traditions of Greenland. 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. Illustrations by contemporary Greenlandic and Nordic artists transport the mythological beings into the 21st Century.
