King name "Vairgin"	Chukchee	The Sun, moon, stars, and constellations are also known as vairgit; but the Sun is a special vairgin, represented as a man clad in a bright garment, driving dogs or reindeer. He descends every evening to his wife, the 'Walking-around-Woman'. The moon is also represented as a man. He is not a vairgin, however, but the son of a kele of the lower worlds. He has a låśśo, with which he catches people who look too fixedly at him. Shamans invoke the moon in incantations and spells. Chukchee
