Pinga - Etymology

Pinga has traveled a long road.

Initially Pinga meant "the one who is up on high" in Inuit mythology.

Pinga was a goddess of the hunt, fertility and medicine.

Pinga was also charged with bringing souls of the newly-dead to Adlivun, the underworld.

Somewhere between fertility and soul bearing, Pinga took a fantastic about face.

Then Pinga became something much more masculine, somewhat like a snake.
