Maban
Maban, mabain or mabanba is a material that is held to be magical in Australian Aboriginal mythology. It is the material from which the shamans and elders of indigenous Australia supposedly derive their magical powers.[1]
Among the Ngaanyatjarra people, practitioners are known as maparn or maparnjarra.
