If you are interested in ancient mysteries and legends, you may have heard of the Wandjinas, the supreme spirit beings and creators of the land and people according to the Australian Aboriginal mythology. The Wandjinas are depicted in some of the oldest and most fascinating rock art paintings found in Australia, especially in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The Wandjinas are also known as Gulingi by the Wunambal people in the Mitchell Plateau area. They are believed to be cloud and rain spirits who came down from the Milky Way during Dreamtime (the Aboriginal genesis) and created the Earth and all its inhabitants. They also taught the Aboriginal people their laws, customs, ceremonies, and how to live in harmony with nature. The Wandjinas are associated with water, fertility, and life force, and they can punish those who break their laws with floods, lightning, and cyclones.
