from his example.
Eingana—Female—Australia
Animal association: Snake
Aboriginal Australian All Mother and Cre-
ator goddess who resides in the dream time.
Prior to her birthing of all creatures, she had
no vagina but could not stop dreaming the
wondrous creatures into existence inside her
womb. Realizing she was in great pain as her
womb swelled, Barraiya (a fellow god) sliced
her open with a spear. From that womb sprang
all the animals of the world. That they would
not suffer the same pain, each female creature
was born with the wound already in place. The
link between dream time and creation speaks
volumes to the Wiccan belief in, for lack of a
better word, the Etheric World.
