January 22, 2026 Episode 5: The Algonquian Wendigo: Myth, Mystery, and Mirror
WARNING: Spoiler alert (in very general) for "The Last Of Us" Season 2.
The "Wendigo" is such a substantial spirit and monster that possesses an already weakened mind or soul in Algonquian culture. A creature that can resurrect if not killed correctly, and mostly can inhabit one who separates themself from the community out of greed or selfishness. Western culture has borrowed this wendigo, or Witiko, in many modern series and movies.
I talk briefly about the look and history of the wendigo, compare it to many modern creatures and society's excesses, some horror stories that focus on the wendigo you may enjoy, ending with two very intense wendigo psychosis stories. I loved starting Season 2 with this guy who I've been studying for a few months now.
There WILL BE a Part 2. More research is currently being done on the Algonquian view of the Wendigo and how it goes about inhabiting the individual. Also, how the malevolent spirit shaped their community and what it reveals about the early Algonquian people and their culture.
I'm so fascinated by this creatiure and the art that surrounds it!
