Kangaroo Healers

“Kangaroo Healers'' glide on healing stones travelling throughout Oenpelli, Australia to heal the aboriginal community town, as witch doctors. Their presence manipulates the winds to blow golden wattle flowers throughout the community, lighting up the town with the flowers of unity. Using the healing crystals in their pouches, they relieve pain and heal sicknesses caused by supernatural forces.

“This is a part of my thesis series Unfamiliar Familiars, which imagines and considers the presence and energy of national animals as familiars that assist witches in magic for good and selfless purposes. More illustrations can be viewed on my website!”
