Meaning & History
According to the legend of the Aboriginals, the original settlers of Australia, Darana was one of the Deities during Dreamtime (the time before humans occupied Earth).
According to legend, Darana created witchetty grubs and put two in a bag. He then hung the bag from a tree in Australia. Later, two human young men killed the grubs with a boomerang. Apparenty, this was a no-no because the dust of the destroyed grubs glowed with a light that turned the sunset red, which alerted evil spirits who killed the humans.
Daran felt bad for this, and turned the young men's bodies into sacred stones. If the stones are scratched, there will be famine. And if they are destroyed, the universe will turn to dust. For this reason, the stones were hidden in a bag in a secret location where they remain untouched to this very day.
