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.

Scrooge McDuck in Australia in search of a shiny crocodile egg - The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck - Donald Duck and Joey the Kangaroo - Daddy Duck - Australia Day - Duckverse

Yes, I am late, because Australia Day is celebrated on the 26th of January, but for some reason I didn't get to finish it until now. However, since I'm currently in the spirit of Australia, I'm going to publish some drawings of our heroes related to that country.

By the way, Australia Day is celebrated because on that day, in 1788, the first fleet made landfall and raised the British flag under the command of Arthur Phillip and founded Sydney there. Admittedly, the first settlers were prisoners.

The first drawing I drew was related to The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck and the comic "The Dreamtime Duck of the Never-Never", which was the seventh part of the cult album by Don Rosa and tells about Scrooge's trip to Australia and his many misadventures . Scrooge met the highwayman and saved the aborigine from that highwayman. That aborigine is called Jabiru the aborigine and he is a representative of the indigenous people who lived in Australia. Scrooge found a brilliantly decorated egg that was worth a fortune, yet hearing from Jabiru the dream stories, otherwise known as Dreamtales, which were painted in the cave, he gave up on it and moved on in search of greater riches. I drew Scrooge, Jabiru, and a bound highwayman in a cave that was painted with various images that foretell Scrooge's future (you can see the Money Bin and Scrooge's future family members Donald and Huey, Dewey, and Louie). By the way, I used painting motifs as used by Aboriginal people and as used by Don Rosa in his comics, but I combined them in my own ways. Yes, and music related to these drawings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLVPgNjQ5kg

The second drawing is a redraw from the Donald Duck classic short "Daddy Duck" from 1948, directed by Jack Hannah, where Donald adopts a baby kangaroo named Joey the Kangaroo. Although mischievous, that kangaroo still loved his adoptive father Donald, as he loved him, and in my opinion it is one of the few moments (at least as far as Jack Hannah is concerned) where Donald finally had a happy ending. Yes, I drew it, because after all, kangaroos live in Australia.

I hope you like these drawings and these ideas and feel free to like and reblog this! And happy belated Australia Day!

for your consideration. Human tilly and human froggy and their horribly cursed little beast pearl <3

Day 272

Just Froggy for now because I'm still don't have a finalized design for Tilly, but I had a great time designing Froggy!

Although keep in mind we are only on episode 1 of limited life so Froggy's design will be subject to change if we get any new info about her or something lol

She's a Siamese cat so I made her a little thai girl :D i had a bit of trouble like, finding clothing or hairstyles that was like, from thai, was appropriate with what i wanted, and helped the cat silhouette because cat. but! i found a set of drawings by nalunalulove that was like, disney princesses in thai traditional clothing and that helped a ton :D

no backstory for her yet, again we literally only have a half episode of information on her lmao

also her colored sketch under the cut :D

#daily pearl doodles #pearlescentmoon #froggy #limited life smp #mod morph #i had to sacrifice a big bow on her head for the froggy hat unfortunately #her original concept was that #she would be dark colored with white hair and white clothes #so that only her face hands and feet would be dark #because yknow siamese cat #but i thought this was enough white #also yes i know her eyes are blue #i was debating between them being blue or brown #but ultimately she is supposed to be based off of a cat #so blue it is #i started researching for tilly again #for clothing #still got nowhere! im having such a hard time with her #there was just more info on thai clothing than clothing from specific aboriginal peoples of various places #aaaaaa #if you have any suggestions for tilly please share them #traffic life smp

Traveled 《Part I》 台灣原住民排灣族酋長的女兒出嫁 ♫ ◠‿◠ Congratulations!!! xoxo We're very lucky!

We went to some churches about Taiwanese aborigines of different ethnic groups. This mountainous area is the base of Taiwan's aborigines - the Paiwan people. 

The day we happened to meet the daughter of the chief of the Paiwan aboriginal getting married.(wedding) and the girl with the green turban on her head is the bride.

and Our team - Father Wen work for 4 churches this one of those churches in the moutains. Because the Catholic Church in Taiwan lacks priests, it needs vocations to train local priests. At present, foreign priests from all over the world account for the majority. 🙏

one time i was talking to my american online friends about stuff and i was like "haha yeah people always say i look ambiguously european but cant place what i am specifically" and they were like "i dont think europeans have a look though." what do you mean. you dont believe different ethnic features exist...?

#just was reminded of it lol #one i no longer talk to used to insist that i was british because of my not-british accent and would not believe me when i said #no... i dont live there #id told them i was aussie. they didnt believe me though. like they thought i inexplicably had a brtisih accent despite never #having been there ever #another i said i didnt get a SSCoE for HS but a diploma. thats not what diplomas are here but they kept insisting i was wrong #like i have the certificate....its not a diploma.......... thats not what it says. #but they were like just call it a diploma : / its basically a diploma #i know AU isnt that different to the US but at least we are usually a little less annoying #i did see that asshat who was like 'uhhhh climate change means you dont have snow? not for us australians a-durrrrr X D' or w/e #what a twat. even from a purely selfish perspective we still also have climate change. its very noticeable. come on #anyway for a full decade i basically never met anyone online who wasnt USamerican.................... #so. i do have some amount of frustration. #they got mad at me for saying bikkie or pressie as slang even tho theyre super easy to figure out from context. also it doesnt matter #'STOP using slang you KNOW us americans WONT UNDERSTAND' #we were talking about christmas!?!? pressie is straightforward!?!? even if not...why are you so indignant #on a more awful note i knew one sheila (white) who was like very vocally/performatively into blm #but then one time when i mentioned aboriginal australians she was like 'what...ive never heard of those before...' #youve known me for years even if you never looked at anything in your life ever id definitely mentioned them before #pretty fucking important. both for my country and when caring about indigenous/first nations peoples. oldest surviving culture on earth #but she was like how was i supposed to know about them : / #because i thoguht you cared about these issues!?!?!??!? also just generally ohhh my god #how could you be vaguely aware of AU history as being similar to your own and then say you didnt know we had indigenous peoples #like. what do i even say #do you think... only america has indigenous peoples?????? #its fine not to know a foreign countrys history in depth but just...the absolute basics....about an issue you claim to care about... #sigh. ok this is too long. i feel that last one is justified to complain about tho

I have only just seen this. Banger of an add. Ol’Johhny will do alright out of it. Good to see a bit of nostalgia every now and then. It’s a pity it had to be made. Australian’s can be their own worst enemy sometimes.

"As we celebrate our mothers today, grandmothers, sisters and all mother roles, it is worth noting a little more about women in Aboriginal culture.

Women were respected for the important and deep contributions they made to their community.

Life givers, healers, gatherers, food providers and story tellers were just some of the roles passed on from generation to generation.

They often carried out healing ceremonies and dances and told stories to carry on social traditions. They were traditionally responsible for gathering water and bush foods such as fruits, seeds, vegetables, maku (edible grubs) and tjala (homey ants). Some also hunted smaller animals such as inka (goanna) and tjilkamata (echidna). Men were responsible for making tools and hunting larger game animals such as malu (red kangaroo) and kalaya (emu).

The relationship of women and young girls to bush foods has always been a strong connection with many young girls going out on country with their grandmothers aunties, mothers and sisters to learn about collecting and preparing bush foods.

At around six years of age, the male children join the men to learn hunting while the young girls remain with the women to learn food gathering. Gulbarn is an example of a women leading the way in harvesting this ancient traditional bush food medicine.

Since women are the principal food gatherers many women artists paint stories associated with food gathering.

Women know about the seasonal cycles and habitat of animals and plants and how to use plants to create bush medicines. We explored this in previous posts.

Foraging for food is based on the women's intimate knowledge of their country passed on in their Dreaming stories. The anthropologist T. G. H. Strehlow noted that the Warlpiri people knew 103 different species of flora and 138 species of fauna. Since women are the principal food gatherers many women artists paint stories associated with food gathering.

So a big thank you to all the mothers of Australia today and a special acknowledgement to our First Nations mothers who hold ancient knowledge and have demonstrated remarkable resilience over generations."

Urban Nomad. The Life of Neil the Smith Author

Why ‘the Smith’? They were the creators, the crafters, the metal smiths, the makers of Medieval Britain a thousand years ago. Today, I’m ‘the wordsmith’. The author. I’ve lived everywhere.. Over 50 places have been my home. An ancient aboriginal corroboree ground in a wilderness area known as Fairy Hills where the creek met the river was my first memory of life. And only a few kilometres from the Melbourne CBD. I’ve just learned they’ve been digging up ancient aboriginal artifacts that suggest this. I’ve lived with psychics and healers. And sat with mediums or channels. I’ve lived with a Reiki Master in New York. With a Roman Catholic nurse in the north of Italy. With a Buddhist in the UK. My lawyer was an Atheist. I didn’t live with him. Visit my 8 fun and entertaining autobiographical books on my Author Page here. You can find more of my adventures in my autobiographical books. Namaste.

Finding Inspiration in Kelowna

Finding Inspiration in Kelowna

I haven’t been feeling very inspired to shoot photos in Kelowna these days. You can probably tell by the lack of Kelowna photos here on this blog. But I figured since I live here I better just force myself out the door and find inspiration or I’ll only take pictures when I go back to Vancouver or Calgary. I pushed myself out the door last night and shot this photo and I’m rather happy with it.…

I found this painting at my local op shop it isn't signed so I'm not able to acknowledge the original artist. Taking paintings that show typical Australian outback landscapes and dotting over them giving them new life also feels like a way for me to be able to re-write history and stamp these moments in time with my culture.

A beautiful friend purchased this piece for their home in Sandy Beach.

Paint pen onto oil painting.
