History: She is also called maker of All water, land, animals, and kangaroos. She was a huge reptilian creature revered as a goddess and giver of life. She also was a part of the dreamtime and came out to give birth on occation.

She also took on the role as the Death Goddess. She holds a sinew of life for each creature, and if she ever lets go, the life stops. And, it was said, that if she were to die, so would all things that existed.¹

Symbolism: Similar to Yin and Yang, she is a symbol of both life and death - both passive and active.
