25. Cthelll designates the infernal nether regions referred to in numerous mythologies of theUnderworld. It refers particularly to the molten, metallic inner core of the earth. In his book onalchemy, The Forge and the Crucible, Eliade makes much of the connections between metallurgy, thecore of the earth and shamanism. Here and in Shamanism, Eliade reinforces Deleuze and Guattari’sview of the smith as an ambiguous figure, aligned neither with sedentary societies nor with nomadicdistributions but performing an essential function for both. Deleuze and Guattari write of “the doubletheft and double betrayal of the metallurgist who shuns agriculture at the same time as animal-raising”(ATP 414). (Another interesting connection in this regard is that between Oedipus and the smith.Deleuze and Guattari refer to Oedipus as ‘the Greek Cain’ (ATP 125), whilst elsewhere stronglylinking Cain with the figure of the smith (ATP, 414)). For Eliade, the relationship between the smithand the shaman is close – “‘Smiths and shamans are from the same nest’” – but often unstable:“According to the Dolgan, shamans cannot ‘swallow’ the souls of the smiths because smiths keeptheir souls in the fire; on the other hand, a smith can catch a shaman’s soul and burn it. In their turn, thesmiths are constantly threatened by evil spirits” (470).
