dreamtime
Ancestral Spirits in the Dreamtime refer to the ancestral beings in Australian Aboriginal mythology who are believed to have created the land, animals, and people during the Dreamtime, a mythological era of creation. These spirits are often associated with the natural world and embody the cultural, spiritual, and moral laws of the Aboriginal people. They are revered in ceremonies and storytelling, serving as a connection to the past and a guide for the present. The Dreamtime is not just a historical period but a continuous presence that influences the lives and traditions of Aboriginal communities today.
