Singuuriq, Inuit Sky Legend

$650


An Inuit legend tells of a woman, Siguuriq, who lives by a path that goes to the moon, illuminated by smoke carried on the wind. Her flickering qulliq (lamp) warns of approaching storms. Most know this bright blue star as Sirius. Stars twinkle in response atmospheric conditions | especially in advance of storms.
