((In Gamilaraay mythology, Bahloo is a male spirit representing the moon. The most known tale about him is a story about the origin of death.))
As a child of Bahloo you are familiar with The Dreamtime (or The Dreaming) and how it is used to represent the Aboriginal concepts of the Everywhen, during which the land was inhabited by ancestral figures, often of heroic proportions or with supernatural abilities.
During Bahloo’s travels, Yhi, the Sun, courts Bahloo, but he refused her advances. The myth says that this is why the Sun chased the Moon across the sky. Yhi threatened the spirits who held up the sky that if they let him escape down to Earth, she would plunge the world into darkness.
Nevertheless, Bahloo is sometimes seen walking on the Earth in Gamilaraay myth. He does so by disguising himself as the spirit emu, tricking the spirits and going back to Earth to once again reclaim his post of creating baby girls.
((Essentially you can either turn into an Emu or summon the spirit of an Emu, or Bahloo himself.))
