This week we are taking a closer look at the Wendigo legend. Here, we uncover its Algonquin origins and its value as more than a malevolent forest creature. The Wendigo is more than horror literature; it’s a symbol of tainted hearts and dirty hunger. It is most characteristically depicted as a gaunt, emaciated creature. Wendigo is a prophecy against excesses in human appetites, particularly when it comes to survival, and hunger unleashes monstrous acts such as cannibalism. The story is accompanied by the psychological ramifications of being possessed by Wendigo, which describes how greedy people can be transformed to the extent that whatever they do is well beyond what is human, transforming not only their physical self but also their entire self. We take a deep dive into some of the claimed historical events. For example, the tragic story of Swift Runner, who, due to harsh winter, fell prey to the control of the Wendigo and cannibalized his own family. This frightening tale is a somber reminder of the malevolence that exists in us.
