Tapu (Sacredness) and Noa (Balance) - Day 18

Kiran Reddy from Mount Eden

The Sacred Spring of Waiora

A sacred spring hidden in the forest was said to have healing powers but was tapu (restricted) to those with ill intent. One day, a chief's child fell ill, and the community approached the spring with prayers and offerings, guided by a tohunga (spiritual leader). Through their humility and respect for the tapu, the child was healed. The spring remained sacred, but the balance of noa (everyday access) allowed it to serve as a source of hope for the people.

Moral: Respect for sacredness maintains balance and harmony between the spiritual and physical worlds.
