Unkulunkulu is a central figure in Zulu mythology, often described as the Great Spirit or Supreme Being who created humanity and the world, embodying divine wisdom.

"The stars are the eyes of the gods watching over the world. Each star is a sentinel, a guardian of the sacred knowledge that binds the cosmos together. It is said that the knowledge of the ancients was passed down through the generations, encoded in the stories, in the songs, and in the dance of the people. The wisdom of the elders, the secrets of the universe, and the truths of existence are all hidden in plain sight, waiting to be discovered by those with the eyes to see and the ears to hear."
