Angcusajaujuq - The Shaman's Apprentice

@mythologymonday an Inuk grandmother and her granddaughter have been left all by themselves with no hunters to provide for them. The granddaughter frets. How will she find a husband? How will they eat? Grandmother is an angakoq, so she squats down on the floor and turns her vagina into a dogsled and her lice into the dog team. She grows a penis. Soon, she fills his/her granddaughter with meat and with child. But one day while he/she is out hunting, a young man comes to their home and granddaughter decides she would rather be with him. When grandmother returns to find granddaughter gone, she turns the dogsled back into a vagina and the dogs back into lice. She’d rather be a woman, anyway. #MythologyMonday #Inuit #grandmother #angakoq #angakkuq #transformation #Genderbent #genderqueer
