KUNAPIPI // ABORIGINAL MOTHER GODDESS
“She is a mother goddess and the patron deity of many heroes in Australian Aboriginal mythology. Kunapipi gave birth to human beings as well as to most animals and plants. Now a vague, otiose, spiritual being, "the old woman" (Kadjeri) once emerged from the waters and travelled across the land with a band of heroes and heroines, and during the ancestral period she gave birth to men and women as well as creating the natural species. She could transform herself either into a male or female version of the Rainbow Serpent.”
