 | | The principle role of the shaman in Inuit society was to advise and remind people of the rituals and taboos they needed to obey to placate the spirits, since he was held to be able to see and contact them. | | | Since the arrival of Christianity among the Inuit, anirniq has become the accepted word for a soul in the Christian sense. | | | The Inuit believed that all things had a form of spirit or soul (in Inuktitut: anirniq - breath; plural anirniit), just like humans. |

| | For information about the 1942 book detailing Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology, see the author, Edith Hamilton. | | | For example, some people believe that fiction author Clive Barker's Candyman was based upon a true story, and new stories have grown up around the figure. | | | Stories from scripture are usually not referred to as mythology except in a pejorative sense, but one can speak of a Jewish mythology, a Christian mythology, or an Islamic mythology, in which one describes the mythic elements within these faiths without speaking to the veracity of the faith's tenets or claims about its history. |

| | Sedna mythology |
| | In one version the dog marriage is punishment by her father for refusing to marry and the marriage consummated by the dog raping Sedna, but in another version Sedna falls in love with the dog who proves to be a kind a loving husband. | | | Sedna is a beautiful young Inuit woman who drowns following betrayal by her husband and father, thereupon sinking to the bottom of the sea to become the ocean goddess who governs the fish, seals, walrus, and whales upon which the Inuit depend for food. | | | Thus, because Sedna controls the food supply for the tribe, she is given the highest status of the various Inuit gods and goddesses. |

| | Inuit mythology has many similarities to the religions of other polar regions, such as Northern Russian mythology, Siberian mythology, Finnish mythology and Norse mythology. | | | While there are few believers left when compared to Christianity, for example, many Inuit do still hold to their ancestral religious beliefs; there are also neopagans who have integrated some or all of the Inuit beliefs into their own belief structures. | | | Inuit mythology is unlike the common conception of what the term "mythology" refers to. |
