In
Aborigine mythology, the
Wati-kutjara are the
lizard men (
totem[?]:
iguana) who originally came from a
mountain in the
Dream time (they later taught
shamans how to use and communicate with the Dream time). They created sacred
talismans (called
tjurunga[?]) and gave them to the people. They also created
trees and
plants, and
river]s, mountains,
valleys and other
geographic features. They
castrated the man in the moon,
Kidil[?], because he tried to
rape the first woman, who then turned into the
Pleiades.
