Description

Extending deep into the caverns of humanity’s oldest memories, beyond 60,000 years of history and into the Dreamtime, this choice of Australian Aboriginal myths has been passed down through the generations by tribal storytellers. The myths were compiled on the turn of the century by K. Langloh Parker, one of the crucial first Europeans to realize their significance and non secular sophistication. Saved from drowning by Aboriginal friends when she was once just a child, Parker therefore gained unique get admission to to Aboriginal women and to stories that had prior to now eluded anthropologists.

In the stories, women tell of their own initiations and ceremonies, the origins and destiny of humanity, and the behavioral codes for society. Included are stories of child-rearing practices, young love in adversity, the dangers of invoking the spiritual powers, the importance of social sharing, the role of women in male conflicts, the dark feminine, and the transformational power of language. Wise Women of the Dreamtime allows us to take part on this planet’s oldest stories and to begin a new dream of harmony between human society and nature.
