[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 12845, member: 414"] Hi people i dont know much about bushcraft ( wish i did ) , and i dont know much about aboriginal culture and spiritual practices but does anyone know what protocols to follow when venturing on to significant sacred sites and lands ? now first up the question could be applied to every inch of australia obviously . secondly , i am referring more to bush locations in general , because we probably wouldnt enter any special sacred places for prospecting. One thing i was told by an elder , was that before walking through an aboriginal gathering place or sacred place , that you take up a small pebble and throw it in to a pond or river and announce your intentions to the spirits there. I assume that you would choose to offer greetings and your respect to the spirits before walking through. it doesnt hurt to be respectful and polite , and who knows , giving out some happiness lifts everyone and it might improve your luck any other customs or rituals to share ?
