Aboriginal Culture - Aboriginal Religion and Ceremony

Aboriginal religion, like many other religions, is characterised by having a god or gods who created people and the surrounding environment during a particular creation period at the beginning of time. Aboriginal people are very religious and spiritual, but rather than praying to a single god they cannot see, each group generally believes in a number of different deities, whose image is often depicted in some tangible, recognisable form.

Perturbator’s “return” with the new album Dangerous Days also illustrates something interesting about the effects of increasingly independent, self-releasing artists paired with increasingly on-demand entertainment expectations from consumers. Point being, Perturbator sent waves of enthusiasm rippling through the online music world with an EP and then a pair of lightning-quick and highly regarded albums in 2012.

Among its most valuable possessions we habitually find a fridge, a car or two, waving neighbours, smiling kids, a leafy backyard, a beckoning driveway, a chest-thumping husband, a home-chained wife, and last but by no means least, a glowing television set.
