In Aboriginal Australian stories, there’s a powerful snake called the Rainbow Serpent that lives in water, and it’s very old.
The Rainbow Serpent made rivers, mountains, and lakes when planet Earth was born. If people respect the land, the snake will be good to them. If they don’t, it may bring storms or floods.
For Aboriginal people, the rainbow helps us remember that we must respect nature.
In some African cultures, a rainbow may be a spirit that looks like a snake, bringing good or bad luck, depending on how it feels. For this reason, many people think that a rainbow is a message that something big–good or bad–is going to happen soon.
