The word Wendigo roughly means “The Evil Spirit Who Devours Mankind” and is a creature in Algonkin folklore, specifically the Anishinaabe, in modern day Canada and in the Great Lakes region.

There are hundreds of stories about the WENDIGO and around 35 or 40 recorded variations of the word Windigo.

According to the legend, a Wendigo is a demon or an evil winter spirit that takes over anyone who has committed the sin of cannibalism, selfishness or gluttony.

The words “windigo” and “wendigo” are thought to mean the same thing by some, but I’ve also read that one spelling is the spirit, while the other is the actual creature.

The first WENDIGO was said to have been a warrior who made a deal with the devil. He gave up his soul in exchange for incredibly fearsome skills and a stature that would help him defeat his enemies and save his people.

Although he won the fight, he was doomed to live the rest of his life as a monster - a WENDIGO.
