Understanding the meaning of Aboriginal Art

In order to understand aboriginal art and how it relates to sacred sites, ancestors and the spirit world you need to understand churinga.

According to Aboriginal customary belief if a woman falls pregnant then an Alcheringa spirit has entered her body. It is the Alcheringa that has caused the pregnancy. She will know which Alcheringa impregnated her. She knows which Alcheringa made her pregnant because she knows which of the sacred sites she was near when she fell pregnant.

Customary belief is that when a woman gives birth to a child that the Alcheringa spirit will drop the child’s churinga. The Alcheringa spirit will drop the churinga at the place of the mother’s conception. The mother will tell her elder brother or father at which sacred spot she thinks the spirit entered her body. Father or brother can then return to that sacred site and “find” the child’s churinga.

This churinga dropped by the Alcheringa spirit is a part of that child. The churinga is then placed in a sacred storehouse. The storehouse contains the churinga of all the people the Alcheringa has concieved. It is a very sacred hiding spot storing the churinga of both living and deceased.

Set, Rising from the Darkness in Glory. King of the Red Land. Lord of the Sands. Come forth and be praised.

Did some artistic nude anatomy study of Set/Sutekh (but obviously censored here for tumblr) since I wanted to do something different :) Was a fun exercise! Two versions since I liked them both! Dua Set/Sutekh! <3
