Sacred Fauna: Australia’s Apocryphal Animals

February 18, 2023 by Kristie Leave a Comment

February 18, 2023 by Kristie Leave a Comment

The Great Barrier Reef Australia’s Eleventh Sacred Place “He prayeth best who loveth best, All things both great and small, For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all.” This verse, from the end of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, is a timeless canon of the Animal Liberation […]

Sacred Places: Australian 10: Kakadu

February 18, 2023 by Kristie Leave a Comment

Land of the Lightning Man Kakadu — Australia’s Tenth Sacred Place From November to March each year, in Australia’s wet season tropics, a war rages between two spiritual beings and their hosts.
