Tracks of the Marsupial Mole.

[Thinair]

I was going through a box of stuff from Aus the other day and found a guidebook they hand out at Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park.

On page 7 of this booklet is this picture, which is apparently a cave art depiction of the 'tracks of the itjarijari, marsupial mole'.

Riiiiiiigggght.

Of course it is.

Interesting. You should post this gem over at the www.shaman-australis.com/forum as well.

It appears to be a clear depiction of Psilocybe semilanteceata.

I'm with the crawling mole. you can see it's tail, little feet marks, and it's head. If not, what do the tracks of the Itjarijari marsupial mole look like?

It is a tough call. To be fair, the tracks do look spot on. As mentioned as well, they do look like semilanceata and I have no idea whether a similar species grows near there - not impossible though as it's an area with water.

However, it is a startling resemblance and the 'underground'/'underworld' connection is an interesting one. There's a wonderful article by Donal Ruane in Dreamflesh vol I in which he describes the transmutable/transpermiable imagery of reality. Sorry, sound like I’m rambling lol. It wouldn't be inconceivable for a connection there, especially as many species will no longer be around since white man came and trashed the party

Guess we'll never know.

Best wishes,

Marion.
