Australian Aboriginal religions

Australian Aboriginal religions encompass a diverse range of spiritual beliefs and practices belonging to various Indigenous groups across Australia. Central to these religions is the concept of the Dreaming, which represents the spiritual and ancestral origins of the world, guiding moral conduct and cultural identity. Aboriginal peoples believe in a connection to the land, viewing it as sacred and inhabited by ancestral spirits. Rituals, storytelling, art, and music play essential roles in expressing these beliefs, fostering community cohesion and continuity with the past. The relationship with nature and the environment is fundamental to their spirituality.
