Melanesian Religion

Melanesian mythology is from Melanesia (the region just north and East of Australia).
At a very basic level the religions revolve around commercial transactions and reciprocal giving. "Conscience and morality are achieved through reciprocal relationships. Transactions determine both kinship and friendship. It is necessary to understand the powers of nature to gain success in farming and hunting. Secret rituals and spells, usually chanted jingles, grant some control over rain, blight and other natural disasters."
