"Sorginak are the assistants of the goddess Mari in Basque mythology. It is also the Basque name for witches, priests and priestesses, making it difficult to distinguish between the mythological and real ones.
Sorginak used to participate in Akelarre.

Does anyone know any good books on Basque mythology? The subject is really extremely interesting and seems to differ from many other pagan mythologies. #sorginak #BasqueMythology #etxera #euskalherria #euskadi #sorgina #mastoart #fediart

🌿✨ This #MythologyMonday, we're talking about the #Sorgina, the wise women of Basque folklore known for their magical #healing powers. Believed to be witches by some, they used their knowledge of herbs like mint for digestion, yarrow for wounds, and nettle for inflammation to heal their communities. Their blend of herbalism and magic continues to fascinate and inspire. 🌱🔮 #BasqueMythology #WitchyWomen
