The 195 stories collected in this first anthology of Aboriginal myth were told to anthropologists Ronald and Catherine Berndt, who spent nearly fifty years working among the Aboriginal peoples of Australia. The Berndts developed a system of field research that allowed them entrance into a culture that has been alive for more than 100,000 years: Ronald Berndt met with male storytellers, while Catherine met with the women. The myths they collected come from the oldest collective memory of humankind, describing characters and events of the Dreamtime--a time that existed before the material world was formed. The Speaking Land touches on all aspects of life: creation, natural forces, social rules, and the exotic. Stark, tinged with fantasy, sometimes bizarre, the myths chronicle the actions of the Ancestors, portraying not only beauty and wonder but also scenes of conflict: treachery and theft, jealousy and lust, greed and antagonism, injury and death. The lessons of life implicit in these stories are still reflected in the simplicity and deep spirituality of this culture. In all of the myths collected here the land is as important as the living characters who travel it. In the Dreamtime creation, mythic, shape-changing characters moved across the countryside, leaving part of their eternal spiritual qualities in the land. Eventually, these characters and forces retreated into the living environment, where they remain today, spiritually anchored. The land still speaks to us, and The Speaking Land will help us understand its language.Binding Type: Paperback

Results after one use!
I know different products work differently for each person. However, I really noticed a difference in lightening of my facial freckles in one use!
I am a pale redhead with tons of sunspots and freckles. I was not taught to use spf as a child and have tons of spots on arms, chest, and face. As I get older, they have really started to bother me and age me.
I tried the orange version of this soap years ago and really didn’t see any change. I was reluctant to try this white version, but it was affordable, so I did.
I could not believe my face after one use! Overall complexion was lighter and my biggest sun spots diminished. I kept noticing results each day after using.
My arms - which are just covered with freckles - I didn’t see much lightening improvement but I think I will over time. They are just really severe cases. But I can see it working on my face, so certainly my arms will follow.
Also, I know this sounds weird - but my elbows became soft and silky! Without lotion! I was amazed! My elbows have never felt that good! Even with scrubs and body oils. I looked like a freak petting my elbows all day. It must be the exfoliating and moisturizing properties of this. Magic.
I am sad because I had to stop using them temporarily but no fault of the product. I’ve been having SEVERE hormonal, post-pill acne. I have been hesitant to put this on my face now because I’m afraid it may make it worse. But..seeing some of these reviews maybe it may help heal it. It’s horrible anyway..why not try to reintroduce it? Hmm.
Anyway, try it! What have you got to lose? I am very very very impressed with this white version!!!

Not that creamy texture I’m used to.
This isn’t the “white” Loki soap I was hoping for. It used to be more of an off white color and really had a sudsy, creamy texture. I have a hard time getting any creamy suds from this one.

I saw a difference with even one use.
I've struggled with dark marks from skin issues since childhood, and this soap made a noticeable difference in evening out my skin tone. It doesn't feel stripping like other brightening soaps I've tried, and my skin actually feels more hydrated after use. The lather isn't particularly luxurious, but that never mattered much to me. It's a plain white bar nothing special to look at but it smells nice. Would recommend for anyone dealing with hyperpigmentation or uneven tone.
