Australia
Kunapippi, Mother of All, is the Aboriginal
mother of all living beings who came from a land across the sea to establish
her clan in northern Australia, where she is found in both fresh and salt water.
She may also manifest herself as the rainbow snake goddess of initiations who
brings the rainy season to renew the land. Kunapippi's background is in the
Aborigine art dot making tradition.

New Zeland  Maori Tiki is the great ancestor mother of the soul. Bird-like eyes and three-fingered claw hands connect her to birds as vehicles and guardians of spirits. Displaying her vulva, Tiki is related to sheela-na-gigs around the world as a symbol of rebirth. Her background is a kouru spiral of growing energies.
