The Wendigo: Cannibal Spirit of the North

In the endless white silence of the northern winter, hunger takes shape.

This is the story of a spirit born not from legend, but from need — a creature that began as man and ended as a warning.

In this episode, Cogito Folklore travels into the frozen forests of the North — where famine, isolation, and moral collapse birthed one of the most haunting archetypes in human memory.

Discover how the Wendigo became more than myth:
• the embodiment of hunger that devours the soul
• the mirror of colonial greed and ecological amnesia
• the eternal echo of the question — what survives when humanity freezes?

🎧 A cinematic mytho-psychological journey through winter, silence, and the boundaries of the self.

🕯 This series explores:
• The moral geometry of hunger and survival
• The folklore of the northern forests
• The anthropology of famine and transformation
• The echoes of the Wendigo in modern psychology
