Aboriginal Australian mythology encompasses the rich spiritual beliefs and stories of the Indigenous peoples of Australia. These narratives often explain the creation of the world, the origins of natural features, and the relationships between humans and the land. Central to these stories are the Dreamtime or Dreaming tales, which describe ancestral beings who shaped the landscape and established laws for living. The mythology is deeply connected to the land, with many stories tied to specific locations, animals, and plants. Rituals and ceremonies are performed to honor these stories and maintain cultural traditions, ensuring the transmission of knowledge and values across generations.
