MAORI TOTEM POLE & THE HAKA ~ WAR DANCE
SOUTH AMERICAN (MAYAN & AZTEC) and NATIVE AMERICAN
Religions have elements in common with the MAORI. BRIAN
has observed this in PERU and BRIAN & I in MEXICO and the
USA. Male & Female Deities : Effigies and Totem Poles etc.
MAORI RELIGION : In the Beginning there was NOTHING
RANGI : The Sky God & PAPA The Earth Mother
Created the Earth and the Heavens : They had many Children
TAWHIRI MATEA : God of the Winds
TANGOROA : God of the Sea and Fish
TANA MAHUTA : God of the Forest : Flora & Fauna
HAUMIA TIKETIKE : God of Wild Plants
RONGO MA TANE : God of Cultivated Plants
TU MATAUENGA : God of War
RANGI & PAPA separated and the light appeared
TANA MAHUTA became the GOD of the DAY
MAORI RELIGION is less Objective than JUDAISM
MAORI RELIGION is more Subjective than CHRISTIANITY
Many MAORIS have embraced the teachings of CHRISTIANITY
This is a very brief introduction ~ comments welcome ~ ANGELA
The BIBLE teaches that MAN (Human beings) was created
in the "Likeness of GOD" with the ability to understand the
Existence of God and to communicate with Him through
Worship & Prayer. MAN is a worshipping ANIMAL !
Many Maoris have become Christians and have their own
Maori translation of the Bible and have composed their
own Hymns and also Maori Translations of UK Hymns.
The MAORI are very Spiritual People. Love ANGELA XXXX

A fine write B&A.
Thanks UNCLE STEVE :
Pleased you enjoyed it. I have added a HAKA : please revist : Love ANGELA 💛💛
Interesting to see the beliefs and the similarities with the Native American beliefs.
THANKS UNCLE ANDY ~ Yes indeed. There are many similarities in the beliefs and practices of Indigenous Religions. But the important facts for Christians to note is that wherever found H. Sapiens is a WORSHIPPING ANIMAL and the GOD (or GODS) he worships is a CREATOR GOD. God created the SOLAR SYSTEM (Sun & Moon etc) but also the Stars and the Flora & Fauna ~ Evolution is a Modern Myth. Without GOD there can be no UNIVERSE ~ SOLAR SYSTEM ~ Life or MAN. People with these simplistic (and pantheistic) Religions respond well to the Christian Gospel. It is a very interesting and complex Subject. It is 7:30 am Saturday here and I am just answering responses to my Poem on MAORI RELIGION! The Maori Friends I have made in Auckland in the last four months are pleased I am sharing facts about the Maori and help me with my Poems & Studies etc. Blessing & Love to JOYCE ~ ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
So interesting to read of Maori culture and religion. Thank you for including The Haka dance too which is exciting and full of vibrant male movement depicting the meaning of life and death. Spirituality can be found in all elements of human interpretation of how life on earth began. Thank you for sharing your research on Maori belief dear Angela.
Thanks FAY pleased you enjoyed it especially the HAKA. This is essentially a SPIRITUAL DANCE of life. death and protection. Evolutionists find it very hard to explain why H Sapiens (everywhere) is a Worshipping Animal : almost as if he had been CREATED in the DIVINE IMAGE of GOD and not EVOLVED in the CARNAL IMAGE of APES! My MAORI Friends (I have been here 4 months) in AUCKLAND have encouraged me to Write about the Maori Culture and New Zealand to encourage Tourism! Yours : Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
