Spirits of our Ancestors
This painting depicts the “Spirits of our Ancestors“. As we sit by our camp fires at night we would call ancient spirits to join in We tell stories, we play the didgeridoo, and we sing and dance and celebrate our daily health and life. Amongst the flames, the spirits of Our Ancestors are joining in singing and dancing flying around, swirling with the red hot flames of the fire. Back in creation time Baiame created all and placed certain Spirits in every thing and place. He gave Laws to these spirits and each spirit certain powers to make the aboriginal people obey his laws. The spirits were left in places where people and animals came to drink and eat. They were given the power to bring on new life, depending on how the people obeyed Baiame laws.
