IGALUK The Eskimo moon god, in Alaska he is the supreme deity, directing natural phenomena, and under his control are all the creatures that elsewhere belong to the sea goddess Sedna. It is said that Igaluk was originally an ordinary Eskimo who, having discovered that he had lain with his sister (for they could not see in the dark), chased after her as she ascended into the sky with a flaming torch, having torn off her breasts in horror and cast them down in front of her brother. However, Igaluk's own torch went out, so that it only glowed. It is now believed by the Eskimoes that the sun and moon live together in a house in heaven, divided into two rooms.
