Description
Ancient wisdom of the Māori goddesses to help you navigate the modern world
Atua wāhine are the Māori goddesses who make up the world around us: earth, fire, water, the moon and more.
From the earth mother, Papatūānuku, who sustains and nurtures us to the goddess of peace, Hinepūtehue, who transformed pain into beauty, and the misunderstood goddess of the underworld, Hinenuitepō, who created purpose and enlightenment from betrayal - this book is a treasure of knowledge and insight.
Drawing on whakataukī (proverbs) and pūrākau (traditional stories), discover how the wisdom of 17 atua wāhine can help us live with courage and confidence in the modern world. With guided steps, these atua will inspire you to foster creativity, acknowledge cycles of change, and embrace self-determination.
