After our civilization has become a threat to all humanity, Australian Aboriginal people today show us that we can only survive with dignity if we develop a cosmic consciousness of creation again. In this book, the ancient ceremonies of the Aboriginal people come alive once more. It depicts the dance of the divine ancestors on the morning of creation, the dance of the cosmic elements, and the fertility ceremonies of animals and plants. Wighard Strehlow, a bestselling author of numerous books about Hildegard of Bingen and the grandson of the former missionary in Central Asia, Carl Strehlow, has selected the most interesting fairy tales, legends, and myths of the Australian Aboriginal people and presents them for the first time in this richly illustrated volume.
