Maramataka Journal – Te Rākaunui Edition for Learners
Reclaim and reconnect with the traditional knowledge of the maramataka (Māori Lunar Calendar) using this specially designed journal. Ideal for new learners, the Te Rākaunui Journal helps you apply the wisdom of the maramataka to everyday life, guiding you through the moon’s phases and encouraging you to observe their influence on your daily activities and energy levels.
Why Choose the Te Rākaunui Maramataka Journal?
This journal offers a practical approach to learning the maramataka, allowing you to record:
- Which moon phases are suitable or unsuitable for specific activities.
- The activities you engaged in on each day.
- Observations you made in nature or within yourself.
- Daily energy levels, helping you track your natural rhythms.
Perfect for New Learners: This journal features the moon names from Te Whānau ā Apanui, starting from Te Rākaunui (Full Moon). If you already know your whānau/hapū/iwi maramataka, the WHIRO Journal, which starts from the Whiro (New Moon) and allows for customization, may be a better option.
