Kutji Spirits: These spirits are found mostly in the shade of bushes and in holes. They can show themselves in a variety of forms, the black crow, eagles, owl, kangaroo and emus being among the many. These spirits can possess animals. Creatures possessed by the Kutji can be found circling around a person or behaving oddly. The Kutji can also manifest as a black rain-cloud, a dust storm, thunder or a mirage. They most notably cause sickness, disease, distress and death. They can only be controlled by shaman. In aboriginal lore, the shaman actually receive their power from them and can communicate directly with them. From this relationship a shaman gains his or her magical and healing abilities.

History
Psd2template was created by David Hurley in order to give graphic designers a quick and easy way of taking their design and turning it into a high quality template. David, being a graphic designer himself, realized that some designers while very skilled may have difficulty in actually taking a photo shop design and converting it to html, and others just may not have the time. This is where he came up with the idea of creating a service that would just that. He wanted it to be as simple process that took up little time and had a quick turn around rate. As an avid user of Joomla, he knew that Joomla would be the perfect content management system for his service due to its ease of use and high quality standards. Next David hired a team of professional, well-organized developers that could create these templates, that are compatible with the major browsers, and have them back to the designer in one business day. The process has proved to be extremely beneficial for professional graphic designers, as well as, project designer.
