A tjuringa is a form of glyph painted by Indigenous Australians. Consisting of interlinked dots and circles, tjuringas represent sacred paths and areas in the landscape. Persons on a walkabout usually navigate using these patterns. According to the aborigines themselves, magicians use the tjuringas to divine messages from afar, used in foretelling the arrivals of strangers and forecasting the weather.
