Rainbow Serpent - Wagyl
The great creator being who shaped the waterways and gave life to the land.
The Rainbow Serpent is one of the most powerful ancestral beings, responsible for creating rivers, waterholes, and bringing life-giving rain. This being represents the creative and sometimes destructive power of nature, teaching respect for water and the forces that sustain life.
The Rainbow Serpent came from beneath the ground and created huge ridges, mountains, and gorges as it pushed upward.
The Rainbow Serpent appears across multiple Aboriginal nations, demonstrating shared cosmological understanding.
