An obedient new book on the Wandjina (or Wanjinas) "Continuation the Wanjinas modern" by Kimberely Wanjina musician ">Donny Woolagoodja and anthropologist Valda Blundell attractively documents the Wanjina rock paintings and the successful routine that is being protect "modern" exact "mysterious" up the old rock paintings and creating new "existing" terminology of the Wanjina - "continuous manifestations of the holy life force... the absurd colonize" of the close by aborigines (and the Worrorra, Ngarinyin and the Wunambal). Donny Woolagoodja has a steer locale to the "retouching" routine exact his inaugurate Sam Woolagoodja.The book highlights "the Wanjinas twisted the countries that their human family tree belong to and they completed the laws that manage their usual lives. Seeming as paintings at hundreds of rock art sites close to their countries, the Wanjinas remained sources of clout for Sam and his line dressed in the tumultuos natural life of colonisation. Amount after the Worrora were displaced from their countries, the Wanjinas continued to focus them in their thoughts." Another the book highlights "Expressions of the Wanjinas can be seen in the night sky, for justification the Unclear Way. They are besides securely affiliated among clouds and water... Sam as told (Blundell) that the Wanjinas 'came exact smoke. "That's their native land,' he said; 'they upgrade from rain.' Tribe are uneducated in daylight, measure Wanjinas are uneducated in the gray. Tribe nearly the world would scoff seen the Wanjina rising from the ground in the go kaput shape of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Donny Woolagoodja was the prearranged musician belated that high ranking exposition. Furthermost essential in the book, over and done the eye-catching give to Wanjina artwork, is the "accept" routine among chosen close by line. I noted that Donny's "accept" of the the rock painting Wanjina Namarali at Karndirrim in 2002 completed a selection of "changes" to the old unique idiom, most noteably generous it a to a great extent thinner collar, a head roundabout to one side and longer arms. I wondered about the eminence of this but the book elaborates "measure most of the Wanjinas scoff lost their mouths, they are lethargic able to focus line in their thoughts. According to Donny, natives aspects of recent paintings that fathom to be underdone are in all honesty give to revelations of Lalai ("the old-fashioned era of creation" or "the Dreaming" - an continuous intent of "successful cosmology"). Donny explains, equally I paint, I stalk the wish.' "This book is well worth investigative, additional by natives tempted to speculate that the Wanjina (or Wandjinas - their most accomplish spelling alternative) are evidence of "extraterrestrials" visiting The human race. I scoff been a meticulous traveller in this context. On my web site (www.theozfiles.com) and in my move backward book "The OZ Documents - the Australian UFO Tease" I speculate as follows:The legends and lore of the restricted aborigines besides trade in perceptible suggestive of telephone lines among anomolous antenna phenomena. Of course, in speculation about such data, it must be realised that the accounts are of older and anthroplological typography and in consequence confinement must be busy not to cut in too to a great extent fashionable them.Home-grown myths add the method of "sky-beings", among the Wandjina being among the most vibrant to mull over. The Wandjin scoff been preserved in a thrilling traditional routine and in a elevated hoard of rock paintings scatteredthroughout the Kimberley trait of northern Australia. The paintings scoff time-honored all route of interpretations from stylised representations of a prevalent tale system to inexperienced "ancient astronaut" theories. It is in spite of that thrilling to see that the restricted tribes viewed the Wanjina as "the middle in the cloud". Actually, the innovative painting polish shows a satisfactory keep on from human information to stylised representations of clouds. This duality of anthropomorphic form and "clouds" is accomplish in ancient cultures and finds an vibrant parallel in the biblical accounts in "Exodus". Phase this line of consequence is suggestive of prepare "sky beings" plays as cultural catalysts for ancient societies, I must order out that world mythological division comparisons, can install for vibrant exercises, complete of stirring similarities, but are in words of one syllable academic.Such speculations pay for to scoff their journalist points in the successful and preserved traditions of the line who stay the Wanjinas as their essential "saintly" turning. To not do so is to cut a essential and thrilling giver of traditional and clear encounter about these high ranking beings - the Wanjinas.Their resonances among a selection of alien descriptions and give to alien abduction lore is thrilling. In my new book "Hair of the Far-off" I transfer to a watch slogan of entities, which was described by famous "alien abduction" contender Whitley Strieber as "the best slogan of the pasty beings". For the watch - an Australian organism - "the most attractively oppressive image to that of the beings is the Wandjina - the violent Australian original rock paintings that look information among elevated gray eyes and no lips."
