On the internet, I go by photonasty.





I'm interested in the mysteries of life and death.

I post:

- art - psychedelia - photography - quotes - the occasional meme


“On the rocks and cave walls, by the side of the reproductions of plants and animals, there are also anthropomorphic images, without mouths, which are called Wondjina. They personify the rain. According to the Unambal [people of Australia], the Wondjina were first found by [the Creator Being] Ungud, in a “creative dream,” at the bottom of the waters. For this reason, every river, lake, or well belongs to a specific Wondjina image located in the neighborhood. Immediately after coming into being the Wondjina went forth upon the earth, bringing the rains and changing the landscape, making hills and plains. While ”the stones were still wet,” the Wondjina built great “stone houses.”… Then the Wondjina lay down on the “wet rocks,” and their “impressions” produced the first rock paintings. The Wondjina entered the earth where their images are found today; they have subsequently lived under the earth, in the waters belonging to the rock paintings.”- from Australian Religion, by Mircea Eliade.
