I could feel the Serpent's Hand involvement in this from the beginning, for some reason. I can't say why, just, everything pointed to them being present. That's not a bad thing, this is a very good article. Though, I have to admit the idea of divorced Gods with restraining orders is absolutely hilarious. +1

This is really awesome and I'd love to know what it's based on. Check that collapsible and the interview for typos; I know if nothing else, the shaman's name isn't always spelled the same.
As briefly mentioned below, it's based on the mythology of Sedna. Sedna is the Inuit goddess of the sea and marine animals; her fingers became the animals, which is why she no longer has any. When she's angry (her children (the animals) being hunted improperly, her hair tangled, etc.) then there are storms. Her husband is named in the text, of course. They, er, don't get along, as you probably guessed.
Honestly it was the research angle on this thing that made me the most happy. Looking into what the shamans would try to symbolically do to placate her… the various taboos of Inuit shamanism… Such fun. Such fun. I have another skip in the pipeline that deals with Sedna.
This has been stewing in my head for a real long time. I'd like to thank Photosynthetic, Flameshirt and Gaffsey for helping me with edits!
This article was originally going to be posted a year ago but it got delayed due to my involvement in the WL. Incidentally this article has a WL counterpart Sedna V. Ataciara the Qaqulluk .

Is it -1 or -A?
if your reading this your gay
So good news, this is a great entry, with the slightest hint of a possible "Serpent's Hand" involvement.
Bad news, if I don't write this comment it will be completely eclipsed by 2000.
My main criticism is that you have horrible timing.

deal with long, lady's, hair.
Only problem I see.
As an Inupiaq, I really, really, REALLY loved this piece!
Within the walls of this chamber is a frozen, well-preserved, corpse of a young woman of Inupiat ethnicity. The corpse had suffered injuries in the past and is missing its hands at the wrist. Only the head of the corpse is exposed to the open air. Due to safety concerns only the on-site shaman and cosmetologist are to have access to this chamber.
Only the Foundation would upgrade Sedragina's shamanic groomer to a full cosmetologist. The blend of Inuit myth and clinical tone really made this skip for me. I mean, where I grew up I heard a different version, but such is mythology.
