Holistic World View of the Maori
Thank you for sharing this comprehensive cosomology of the Maori with us SacredOceanicSisterGoddess! It took me awhile to read this. I enjoyed the beautiful wisdoms it espoused. The pictures are truly arresting!
I did not see the sacred masculine or feminine in Tangaroa- god of the sea perhaps in AIO. In Yoruba/Santeria Yemanya goddess of the ocean shares a masculine aspect/twin with Olokun - god of the deep. The Sacred Tree of Life is a symbol of Protection ...it is a whakaruruhau. The 'Tree of Life' in Egypt was represented by 3 sacred lotus lilies, the tamarisk tree, another tree is mentioned and a simple plant- which represented IMMORTALITY. As a planetary family I realized that all spiritual cultural traditions sprang from the fount of Mother Egypt/Ethiopia going further back to Mu and Atlantis, but all are AFRICAN extensions/branches from the Mother Tree of Akebulan. Herein lies the beauty of sharing culture when you KNOW YOUR OWN AND RECOGNIZE THE SIMILIARITIES IN OTHERS.
It is good to share culture but is always a 'good courtesy' to ask about the cultures of others as we both participate in sharing. African and African Americans have many paths in 'THE RELIGION', 5 are known as the FIST. Yoruba, Santeria, Lucumi, Vodun, Obeah, Cummona, Umbanda, Macumba, Candomble, Abacua practiced are in the America's. I am "washed' in Yoruba/Santeria and am a non practicing adherent. The beauty of it is an integral part of my ancestral grounding.
1.Is there a religious order in Pono besides the Kahuna, like healer, priest, teacher or sage?
2. How are you chosen as a Kapuna, is it passed doown through the family or it is a vocation you chose to train for?
A. How long does it take to become a Kapuna?
3. Are there any tipaunas or temples to worship or any spiritual practices or rituals used in song, dance, diet or sacrifice?
4. Are there any supernatural manifestations, miraculous interventions and healings in Pono?
5. Are there any sacred sciences or secret societies that are apart of the Pono tradition?
6. Any sacred places, sacred plants, minerals or animals special to Pono?
7. Are there any Pono holy days that you celebrate?
8. Stories concerning the anitidulivian world of Lemuria and the stones of Mu?
Continue to bless us and grace us with Divine Words.
Namaste, Hotep, Ashe'
