Ancestral Being


Ancestral Being are spirit entities from the early days of the world, according to the Dreamtime or Creation myths of Australia's aboriginal tribes. Modern science dismisses these ideas as purely the stuff of fantasy but many aboriginals firmly believe in their continued existence.The Wirajuri aboriginals from the central west of New South Wales believe in a hairy dog-like creature known as the mirri or mirriuula. it is thought to frequent some of the lonelier regions and rivers. Once seen these creatures are said to appear quite small but begin to grow before your eyes as you begin to stare. danger is associated some mirri dogs because they are thought to follow their victims with a view to enticing them into the depths of their river or even killing them. The Wiradjuri also believe in the yuurri which are hairy little men and women, with sharp teeth and long fingernails, standing approximately (3 feet) tall with the males having long beards.
