May I introduce my 12th Goddess, and the21st of my 29 Faces for May
KUNAPIPI
She is another Creator/Mother Goddess, this time of the Aboriginal people of Australia :D
It is belived that she brought the 1st Ancestors to live in Australia, and is associated with fertility, birth and death.
She is often symbolised with a Rainbow serpent, and is said to have taught the 1st people the words to the Dreamtime songs.
Her followers believe that all souls are born twins, and that one remains with Kunapipi, so that when we die we will be drawn back to it and her.
Struggled with her teeth !!!!, but think I managed to tone down her infectious smile on the finished image(1st on post)
I can't believe this challenge has almost ended, but next week is the last of my 13 Goddesses!
My Aboriginal Goddess, Kunapipi :D XXX
