Goddess of an Unforgiving Sea

by Madalyn McLeod

Illustration for my in-progress oracle deck, Nature Spirit Oracle.

Sedna is the goddess of the sea and marine animals in Inuit mythology. Sedna’s father cut off all her fingers, and then her fingers became the mammals of the sea. She guards these creatures from human hunters by hiding them in her long, dark hair. She is generally vengeful and guarded, but can sometimes be placated by humans who treat her with compassion and respect.

Mixed media: Colored pencil, watercolor, ink, and gouache.

5×7 in matted to 8×10 in.
