Sorginak (root form: sorgin, absolutive case (singular): sorgina) are the assistants of the goddess Mari in Basque mythology. It is also the Basque name for witches, priests and priestesses, making it difficult to distinguish between mythological beings and real religious figures.
Sometimes sorginak are confused with lamiak (similar to nymphs). Together, lamiak, Jentilak and sorginak are said to have built the local megaliths.
