The Wandjina and the Rainbow Serpent.

The Dazed Dreaming

The Wandjina and the Rainbow Serpent.

Along time ago, when the dreaming was still new and the land was being
beautified, The Rainbow Serpent came before the mountain of the
Wandjina and said, " I can be the Wandjina, I can bring the people
together, I can bring about the gathering". This made the Wandjina
angry and he new that the time was not right for the gathering. He was
upset that The Rainbow Serpent had falsely reasoned against him and
was worried that the Serpent like unto the seraph was planning to do
what he himself had always planned and had always wanted to do. He
thought for a long time and dreamed about what could be done, The
Serpent had many friends and many followers in different tribes, this
worried the Wandjina, and the false reasoning troubled him deeply. He
decided to remove the wings from the Fiery Rainbow Serpent Seraph and
throw him off the mountain so that he would have to climb all the way
back up, and this would take him some time. The Wandjina didn't want
to hurt him as he was so good at bringing the people together for the
celebrations and the ceremonies, so removing his wings and cooling his
fire was the only way to slow him down. The Wandjina often painted
with no mouth decided to remain quiet and let his friends and
followers talk for him, as this too would slow down the actions of The
Rainbow Serpent and his friends and followers. The Wandjina was so old
and had seen so much that often less is more he reasoned. He decided
he would wait for his old friend The Rainbow Serpent to climb back up
the Mountain and would allow much dreaming, both good and bad, to take
place so that there was more for The Rainbow Serpent and his friends
and followers to reason with and think about and learn from, so that
The Wandjina would not have to impose or enforce his own dreaming or
reason among the people.

More to come later, keep dreaming and reasoning, hopefully not
falsely. ;)
