MANGAR-KUNJER-KUNJA
Arrernte Creator God
A Lizard Creator God
It’s okay to call him Flycatcher. He who made humans from logs. There must be a log book somewhere.
Apparently in the beginning humans were all fused together in a wooden lump. He separated them with a knife. His wood-carving skills were further demonstrated by whittling out ears, mouths and noses.
His own image is that of a very large lizard. So always be kind to lizards. He is not pleased if you kill one. Offer him flies.
