The Seven Sisters, Pleiades, or the Wiangaree in the Ngarakbul Githabul dialect, who brought Water to Earth in the Alcheringa

Water As a Universal Force

Water has long been revered as the essence of life, a sacred element woven into the fabric of existence. Across cultures and civilisations, people have honoured it as a source of renewal, purification, and transformation. Beyond its earthly presence, Water carries a significance that connects humanity with the universe itself.

Cosmic Origins of Water

Modern astrophysicists suggest that Water is not merely a terrestrial phenomenon but a cosmic one. The explosive power of supernovae and comets carries Water into our atmosphere daily as dew. The Ancients knew Water held great sacred significance in the Creation of the world, like the Seven Sisters, the Pleiades, or the Wiangaree, who brought life to a barren landscape by digging up the ground with their magic digging sticks (ganay) for Water.

After the Sisters completed their task, they met with their Grandmother, Warrazum the Rainbow Serpent, who gifted them with the Lore. The Rainbow Serpent is connected with fertility and Creation. The Rainbow Serpent originated from the Milky Way, or Wayal Balun, the “Celestial River of Life. The Wiangaree are connected with “love magic” for both women and men. The Sisters are “Spirit Water Lubras and connected to sacred springs, creeks and waterways.

Clever Water

The Elders say we are “clever water,” and that all beings on Earth are linked by Water, which binds all interrelationships. A grand celestial star cycle determines all interrelationships, including marriage, and governs all biological processes of life on the Planet.
