The Living Legacy of the Aboriginal Dreamtime
Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island cultures are the oldest continuous living traditions on Earth. This book celebrates the deeply felt relationship between these Aboriginal peoples, the land and the sacred heritage of the Dreamtime.
'Wisdom from the Earth' honours the wisdom traditions of Aboriginal cultures and explores a number of major Dreamtime myths, as well as the songlines, ceremonies and other spiritual practices which make up Aboriginal life. As with so many indigenous peoples across the planet, traditional Aboriginal practices reveal an innate wisdom in the relationship between the people and their response to the resources of Nature. At this time of global ecological and spiritual crisis, there is much that we can learn from the traditions of the original inhabitants of the Australian land.
