The wound that becomes the throne

Sedna (90377, discovered 2003) is named after the Inuit goddess of the deep ocean. In her myth, Sedna was a young woman whose father — to save his own life in a storm — threw her into the sea. When she clung to the boat, he cut off her fingers; her severed fingers became the seals, walruses, and whales. She became goddess of marine life and the deepest abyss. Astrologically: deep betrayal by patriarchal figure, the wound that becomes spiritual power, ecological and indigenous consciousness.
