The
mythology associated with the Seven Sisters [Pleiades] star cluster is extensive.
Here
only Greek legends are presented. Even
so, these are manifold and often contradictory, being patched together from many
different cultures over a long period of time. Further uncertainty is added by
most Pleiads sharing names with otherwise unrelated mythological [to
the tune of the Beatle's Yellow submarine: |
jauntily

This site extends down and across but is very flat:nearly every link will take you out of here. The site is best thought of as a congealment of energies across the internet. These pages are very close to the surface of this page; when clicked most links change visual reality markedly. The back key will always take you back here. The rationale for the assemblage of content found here is located in a desire to allow nonlinear associations. The simplest way to describe nonlinear is to speak of multiple linearities. Some of these multiple linearities are explored here. These pages are navigated by coloured squares. Clicking a white square (which are only on some pages) will take you back to the photo of the lei bottles.
The
Two Wise Men and the Seven Sisters
They made the hills, the valleys, the lakes and the ocean. When they had nearly completed their work, Jindoo the Creator sent seven sisters, stars of the Milky Way, to beautify the earth with flowers, with trees, with birds, animals and other creepy things. The Seven Sisters were making the Honey Ants when they all got thirsty and they said to the younger sister, 'Go and look for some gubbee, some nice water. Over there, in the hills. Go in that direction'. The little young sister took the yandee dish and she went in search of the water. The Woddee Gooth-tha-rra, the two spirit men, they were in the bushes and they were spying on these women. They followed the minyma Goothoo, the younger sister, when she went for the water. This young sister, she fell in love with the two men. The other six sisters went looking for their sister, because she had been gone for so long. They wondered where she might be. They were really very thirsty and they needed their water. After a while, they found her with the two spirit men. The Creator, Jindoo the Sun, had warned them that should such a thing happen to any one of the sisters, she would not be able to return to her place in the Milky Way. When the six sisters finished their work, they returned to the Milky Way. The two men and the woman remained here on Yulbrada, the earth. Their special powers were taken away when they became mortal. They became the parents of the earth, who made our laws and our people-the desert people. They live by these laws today. This is why the people of the desert have such knowledge and respect of the stars in the universe. Direct link to audience participation page.
