perfume rose threshold of collective unconscious-SELF : )

[emmiebee11]

what is this song called?

[adster4754w0w]

@emmiebee11 i dont think thi is a song more like a tune

[ShadowManRO]

Doesn't matter if the story is real or not. The message is to be followed: don't cut the trees and don't kill the animals.

[thesunshinegirl1999]

thumps up is DON'T believe thumbs down if you do

[lewisfamily8383]

which language group did this version originate from?

[ozjthomas]

@lewisfamily8383 I do not know a lot about language groups although i am aware this story varies quite a bit

[hpl00064]

@lewisfamily8383 There are myths about the Rainbow Serpent among several aboriginal groups of Australia, but this version is typical of northwestern peoples living in the Kimberley (bajd, njol, djao, ngadadjara, karadjeri, walmadjeri, djaro and so on). Rich Serpent myths abound also among the peoples living around the Van Diemen Strait (kakadu, umoriu, jeimbio, etc.).

@hpl00064 ty

[eachdainu]

Is that a rabbit at 2:20? Rabbit's aren't native to Australia.

[bizarreunderworld]

@eachdainu LOL looks like a rabbit, i guess the abos were grateful aussies brought over some nice bunnys lol

[ReiSilver]

@eachdainu it's probably a bilby

[ozjthomas]

@ReiSilver yes of course its a bilby ty

[nicraith]

I love this video! The musc and the artwork are wonderful, and so is the story of the Rainbow Serpent. If he hadn't made all those wonderful beings and things, life would be so flat and boring!

[genelin1995]

wow, what a great animating skill, very aboriginal-like

[ElveeKaye]

The drawings are cute!

[Rhodri0110]

That is most certainly not the version that I grew up with.

[HLSince2006]

Good, exept maybe if you had a talking narrator I would

Give it 5 stars, I'm giving it four stars

[MrDragonBane1]

so whats the message???

[ozjthomas]

It's a story about the creation of the world.

[VriakII]

@MrDragonBane1 The message is; everything with life shares the same consciousness as the people; and as the people we are tasked with the responsibility of caring for everything with consciousness.

[aaronm222]

@MrDragonBane1 I think It is a cosmology or creation story with the message that we must look after all the plants and animals; they have the same spirit as humans.

This a story by, or Dreaming of Dick Roughsey. He made this story into a childrens book with great drawings also done by Roughsey.

[Liathu]
