In Aboriginal mythology, Anjea is a fertilitygoddess or spirit. The souls of the Aboriginals reside within him in-between their incarnations. He picks them up at their resting places in the sand, which are marked with twigs. The twigs are arranged in the ground so as to form a circle, and they are tied together at their tops so that the resulting structure resembles a cone. The spirits are taken away for several years, but Anjea eventually creates the new children from mud and places them in the wombs of future mothers.
While many tribes see Anjea as a female, other tribes refuse to admit that such a deity could form the delicate infants from mud unless Anjea was a male.
Anjea travels the earth placing these created infants inside the womb of expectant mothers.
During Anjeas travels he or she will find these markers and takes the small essence of spirit and hides it in a hollow log or at the bottom of a lagoon.
