Wati-kutjara
In
Aborigine mythology
, the
Wati-kutjara
are the
lizard
men (
totem[?]
:
iguana
) who originally came from a
mountain
in the
Dream time
(they later taught
shamans
how to use and communicate with the Dream time). They created sacred
talismans
(called
tjurunga[?]
) and gave them to the people. They also created
trees
and
plants
, and
river
]s, mountains,
valleys
and other
geographic
features. They
castrated
the man in the moon,
Kidil[?]
, because he tried to
rape
the first woman, who then turned into the
Pleiades
.
