The following interview with Aboriginal Visionart - Activist - Filmmaker Lorraine Mafi-Williams (1940 - 2001) is from Steven McFadden’s book, Ancient Voices Current Affairs (Amazon, currently out of print).


Lorraine Mafi-Williams, also called Alinta, Woman of the Fire, was delegated a liaison officer of Aunt Millie Boyd of the Githrabaul Clan, Bundjalung Tribe, of the north eastern coastal area of New South Wales, Australia.


“I was born beside a freshwater spring on the outskirts of Purfleet Mission at Taree. It was on the eighth of August 1940, at dawn.

My mother was a Thungutti woman, whose ancestors originated west of the Blue Mountains.


I was taken back to the Dreamtime teachings by the old people beginning with the Githrabaul tribe, where I met and eventually married a Githrabaul man. Starting with my father-in-law and his mother I was told many things of a deep cultural and spiritual nature, and I was initiated in these teachings. The Dreamtime is the source of both past reality and future possibilities.


We the Australian Aboriginals have been on our traditional land, the Land of the Everlasting Spirit, for tens of thousands of years. Our culture is rivaled by no other, though we have been in seclusion for the last two hundred years.

Land of the Everlasting Spirit


“Whenever our elders or shaman people - all our elders are shaman people - talk about our history and our beginning, our creation, they always talk about the time when the Earth was one land mass. They speak of time before the cataclysm came that split the Earth up into the continents.


This is our story, our mythology. Our land, Australia is called Arunta, the Land of the Everlasting Spirit. Our old people tell us that we originally came from a planet that had seen its time and just blew up.


See, our people were like refugees and they went and lived in the stars in the Milky Way. Then Seven Spirit Brothers and Seven Spirit Sisters came to Earth. They came when the Earth was one big land mass.


We’re emerging from that seclusion now to show ourselves as no one has ever seen us. Our creation stories take us back into the Dreamtime, back to the beginning when the Earth was one land mass.

So, my people were given the knowledge to create this energy grid because the planet that they were previously on did not have such a protective structure and it was destroyed.


They realized that their new home, Earth, needed to have such an energy grid in strong healthy condition to withstand the periodic energy pulsations from the galaxy. Otherwise, it would quickly be drawn into the plane of the galaxy and experience devastating turbulence. But my ancestors had learned this lesson, and so they came to Earth to erect an energy grid, or an Earth truss, to help the Earth when it undergoes its changes. My ancestors’ responsibility, and my people’s responsibility still, is to the energy grid.”

They tell me I was the last baby to be born in the traditional way. My mother was accompanied by her aunt and the midwife. That day, a white crane came to feed in the water nearby. The old women said this was a good omen.


My mother was a traditional medicine woman and healer and my father was a linguist. His job was to teach and pass on the many dialects associated with the north coast tribes of New South Wales. He was also an initiated man, having learned the rules and lore of his tribe, the Bundjalung of Lismore.

At that time the four races – red, yellow, black, and white – lived side by side. There we lived as one people, creating a world of harmony, balance and mystery.


As Aboriginals we have kept our culture intact for thousands of years into the present time. Now we are becoming ready to share our wondrous culture with the other people of the world. That is my work through my teaching and my films.

The Sacred Rainbow Serpent


“In our old way we call the energy grid Boamie, the sacred Rainbow Serpent, whose colors reflect the beauty of the Earth and sky, the rainbow. The multicolored coils of the Rainbow Serpent are reflected in the precious stones that are concealed in the Earth’s crust. It’s called the Rainbow Serpent because it’s got all the colors of the rainbow: gold and sliver, of course, and the diamonds, the rubies, the emeralds, and the uranium. You see, it’s the foundation, the Earth’s crust. They are the particular substances that keep the energy grid strong and the Earth solid when the planets line up every so often and threaten to draw the Earth into the galactic energy swirl.”

[My people came here] to erect an energy grid. Because, you see, the planet Earth is among the smallest of planets. And it is really not in the galactic system where all the other planets exist. We believe Earth is just a little bit outside the plane of the Milky Way galaxy in space. Because the Earth is so small, when the planets line up in a certain way the pull of the galactic energy is so strong that it could just suck planet Earth into the spiral plane of the galactic system and toss it all around.

MESSAGE FROM ABORIGINAL CULTURE BEARER

LORRAINE MAFI-WILLIAMS:   Woman of the Fire

The Story of WollUmbin


“If you go back in time when the Earth split up from one land mass into the continents, it was another time of Earth changes. Humanity was wicked in those days, too. Even your own books in Western civilization speak of Noah and the ark and how there was wickedness on the Earth.


Native American people say they rode the changes out on the back of a turtle – a land mass like a turtle, Tuttle Island. My people rode the flood out by climbing upon a big red rock called Uluru – now usually called Ayer’s Rock. Uluru simply means ‘the big rock’. Uluru is seven miles around and one mile up. Our people teach that when the Earth was one big land mass, Wollumbin was one of four big mountains that housed huge crystals.

According to Aboriginal legend, at the time the Earth broke up and the white buffalo ran with the people, a sacred mountain that was under care of the North American Indian people also broke off and came with them. Instead of remaining with the North American continent of the Red Race, it stayed on the east coast of what is known today as Australia, the Land of the Everlasting Sprit.


That mountain is Wollumbin, or Mount Warning, and it is the mountain of which Aunt Millie Boyd is custodian.

As a consequence of all this mining, there’s not enough of the Rainbow Serpent left to help the Earth undergo its seven thousand year shift in a safe way. It’s all topsy-turvey. Without the balance of the minerals and a healthy energy grid, we cannot pass through the current planetary alignments, and we may be drawn into the plane of the galaxy. As well as the Earth, humanity has to go though its changes. We’ve all got to rejuvenate to create a new world on this same physical substance. And we are going thorough it. There’s no safe place on Earth. We’ve just got to ride it out, but if we are in balance within ourselves, and in balance with the Earth, then we remain healthy. At the end of each change - every time we come into a new world - the Great Creator says, “OK humanity, you must start your change now, too, and go into the new world. But you must do it in accordance with the Earth, as well as yourself, with heart.”

They are the activators for the crystal grid and for the energy grid that protects the Earth, Perhaps the Himalayas might have one and perhaps the Andes in South America might have one. I don’t know for sure, but I know Wollumbin is one, the one in the East. We are east of the rest of the world in our tradition, but I don’t know what the other mountains are.


When the Earth split, people were running in confusion, and some of my people stayed on other continents – though they are all extinct now. And some other nationalities stayed Down Under, but now they are extinct now too. But as our old people recall, when the people ran, a white buffalo ran with them in Australia.

At the time that mountain split off with the Australian continent, there was a very big powerful shaman or medicine man of the Indian people who stayed on that mountain. Wollumbin, you see means “eagle”. The spirit is still there, his name is Waugatha.


That mountain is my Aunt’s country. She’s they last custodian of it, though now that it has been handed back into the care of the North American people. You see, I came here to America in 1988 to look and see if there was any memory among the Indian people of their lost mountain. And there was someone here, a medicine man, who remembered. I found him. Ever since, there have been Indian people who have come to visit the mountain and who have met with Aunt Millie to hear about and learn about Wollumbin and Waugatha. See, there’s the connection between Australia and North America – between the Aborigines and the Native Americans. It has something to do with the Native American relationship to the sun and the Sun Dance.”     - from www.theluminousgarden.com

What a lot of people tend to forget is that my country has only been occupied for two hundred years by the British. It only took white people fifty years to destroy a million years of our culture. But the core of our culture still remains strong. We haven’t forgotten. Our elders are telling us to go out and tell everyone so that no one cans say they didn’t hear.

Gedumbah is the name of the valley as seen from Echo Point in the Blue Mountains (above). The name of this place has been interpreted by settlers as Kedumba, Godoomba and Katoomba. The basin bounded by Echo Point and Sublime Point east of the Three Sisters is Gundungurra Women's Country. Further east from Kings Tableland to Nepean River is an area called Muggadah. The Three Sisters are part of the Seven Sisters - Muggadah Dreaming. Aboriginal_Australia.html

“We have been told that within every one million years, there is a seven thousand year long Earth shift. Then we begin to go into a new world, like we are doing now. By our reckoning, we are actually at the end of a seven thousand year shift now, and we are beginning to enter a new million year-long epoch. Our people and our teachings are very similar to the teachings of the North American Indian people. But we have different interpretations and we know our responsibility: taking care of the Earth through the energy grids. It’s very similar to what the Native Americans teach about. We do that by giving thanks to the Earth through the songs, dances and ceremonies.

AT A CRITICAL JUNCTURE

Right now there’s two things. The earth is undergoing its Earth changes, which is normal for this time in our development. But because there’s been so much destruction to the energy grid, especially the gold, which is nearly exhausted already - and now they are after the uranium - there is great danger to the stability of the Earth. Gold has driven men mad for thousands of years, leading then to lie, steal, cheat, murder, and make war…all this wickedness to get the gold. Humanity has become greedy and as a result, wicked. That has led to fighting, war, and disease. People have forgotten their responsibility to the Earth, for want of the gold. And now it’s the uranium.
