Sorginak

Sorginak (root form: sorgin, absolutive case (singular): sorgina) are the assistants of the goddess Mari in Basque mythology. It is also the Basque name for witches, priests and priestesses, making it difficult to distinguish between mythological beings and real religious figures. Sometimes sorginak are confused with lamiak (similar to nymphs). Together, lamiak, Jentilak and sorginak are said to have built the local megaliths. Sorginak used to participate in Akelarre. These mysteries happened on Friday nights, when Mari and Sugaar are said to have met in a sacred local cave to create storms.
