Yurlungur
In
Aborigine mythology
(specifically:
Murngin[?]
),
Yurlungur
is a
copper
snake
who was awakened from a deep
sleep
by the
odour[?]
of a woman's
menstrual
blood
. The woman and her sisters, the
Wawalag
, were eaten by Yurlungur, who was told at a later snake meeting to regurgitate the women. In
Australian Aborigine
ceremonies, the vomiting symbolizes boys entering manhood.
