Gods & Cosmos of the Evenki

The deities and cosmic beings of the Evenki — the Tungusic reindeer-herders and taiga hunters who range across the vast forests of Siberia from the Yenisei to the Pacific. In their shamanic religion of the three-world cosmos and the great cosmic hunt, the universe itself is divine and the stars are the quarry of the eternal chase. From Buga, the supreme god who is the universe, to Kheglen, the cosmic elk whose pursuit across the heavens turns the Great Bear, this series chronicles the sky-lore of one of the great hunting peoples of the taiga.
