Description*: Yhi is the Aboriginal goddess of creation. She emerged from a dreamtime sleep and illuminated the earth with her opening eyes. She proceeded to walk the earthly terrain and, as she did so, greenery sprouted from her footsteps. She walked all over until foliage dominated her pathways. She wanted to animate life and descended to the underworld, where she encountered evil spirits. The evil spirits tried to subdue her with song, but the strength of the warm goddess defeated their dark natures. Instead, all manner of life began to evolve under the illumintaing powers of the goddess’s presence. Insects stirred to life: butterflies, dragonflies, bees, and all manner of tiny creatures began to dance amid the warm rays of Yhi’s nourishing light. She then shone upon dark caves and crevices of the world and fishes, birds, lizards, amphibians, and all the animals began to reveal their presence. She then blessed them with the promise of seasons and the knowledge that their lives would continue in her celestial domain once they outlived their mortal shells. Her orb of light descended into the horizon and darkness prevailed. The new inhabitants fell asleep until the light of dawn woke them once again. Sadness began to pervade the bliss and creatures expressed their desire to become more mobile. Some creatures wanted wings, others wanted legs, and some wanted to writhe or wiggle. Yhi gave them the resources they desired. She then turned her energy toward creating human beings. She first created a man and then a woman from a flower. And together, the man and the woman became companions.
