Souls (of sea creatures)
| Морской словарь |
Many cultures believed that animals had souls and took great pains to placate them. greenlanders were always careful to avoid breaking the skulls of their seal harvest, piling them next to their front doors to placate the creatures’ souls and ensure they would not warn living seals to stay away from the coast. when the natives of sainte marie island (north of madagascar) hunt young whales they beg the mother to forgive them, explaining they only kill out of necessity, and asking her to sound so that she will not see the actual slaughter. the huron, ottawa, and kwakiutl indians of canada believe the souls of dead fish will come back to life, so they never burn or discard the bones, but throw them back into the sea or river to ensure the resurrected fish will return next year.
