Sun Goddess Malina 1960 Pin

Malina is the Sun goddess of the Inuit people who live in Greenland and there is a story of how she and her brother came to be, but as a heads up, it's a little out there. Malina and her brother, the Moon-god Anningan, lived together and used to play games. But once adults, things changed. One night, while they were playing in the dark, Anningan forced himself on his sister. She ran as far as she could into the sky, where she became the Sun. Anningan, showing no remorse for his crime, continued to chase his sister in the sky where he became the Moon. This eternal race makes the Sun alternate with the Moon in the sky. But occasionally, the Moon-god reaches the Sun goddess and forces himself on her again, causing a solar eclipse.
