Ngā marau: Summary: This is the final work in the trilogy dealing with the great Tuhoe tohunga Hohepa Kereopa. After spending more than five years working with Hohepa, Paul Moon's extraordinary concluding volume is a powerful, moving work, evoking the majesty of the Ureweras, delving into the metaphysical realm of one of Maoridom's most renowned tohunga, and traversing a remarkable period of New Zealand history. Professor Moon crafts an innovative blend of personal narrative, allegory, history, and theology, built around various motifs - particularly those of truth, culture, death, and redemption. The result is a hugely engaging book that manages to penetrate a part of the nation's culture and history that has never previously been exposed. In addition, his close observation of his surrounds, and his portrayal of the ideas that he is exposed to, enables the reader to share in these absorbing experiences. The Tohunga Journal completes a unique exploration into some of the final vestiges of the traditional Maori world, and is a fitting conclusion to its companion volumes Tohunga: Hohepa Kereopa and A Tohunga's Natural World: Plants, Gardening and Food.
