Mingarope
Mingarope is an obscure female deity. She features, along with Bund-jil, in Australian aboriginal creation narrative.[1][2][3][4]
An 1879 work[5] records that "Mingarope having retired upon a natural occasion was highly pleased with the red color of her excrement, which she began to mould into the form of a man, and tickling it, it showed signs of life and began to laugh."[6]
