The Sedna Myth

Even today, fishermen believe that Sedna determines whether they will have a successful catch or not. On days when the fish just aren't jumping, the shaman will visit Sedna in her underwater home using a kind of astral projection. Her rage is not unlike the rage of Mother Earth against the people who would do her harm. It's no wonder that a dwarf planet discovered on the outer reaches of our solar system was named after her. Astronomers refer to it as number 90377 Sedna and its cold, distant, and alone - just like the woman deceived by the men she loved.
