A song for Tane Mahuta

Maori guide sings to New Zealand's "Lord of the Forest"

[@anniefranklin9853]

In 2007 I was in the same spot with Footprints Waipoua, Maori guides who take you into the forest and tell their creation stories as you walk, at dusk. We sang to the Lord of the Forest, it was honestly one of the most incredible experiences of my long life. Magic Happens

I can tell it’s connection they have with this tree which must have witnessed everything before it for generations. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thanks for uploading this. I feel it’s destiny that I get to hear this song. Want to goto NZ to experience it 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Translation: In the middle of piles of flax, I am tuning in to the vibes and awakening my spirit awakening my spirit. In the twisting together of the poi there boldly springs to my mind the idea of from where you were fashioned from where you were fashioned Behold Io, the Ancestorless one mating with the Twilight Woman forming The Light forming The Darkness forming Ranginui above and Papatuanuku lying here. They cling together and form Tane Mahuta, Man Arising Behold Tane Mahuta mating with Pakoti and forming flax forming flax. Behold Tane Mahuta mating with the Swamp-maiden and forming raupo. Both are processed to form fibres, twine, bindings and decorative plumes, making you into a poi. Your status, oh poi, is not the status derived just yesterday but your status is bequeathed from the other side bequeathed from the other side. No, it was was not just derived yesterday but it is bequeathed from the other side from the other side and will continue forever.
