The Alchemy of Tattooing, Wisdoms of Ancestor Tattoo. Where we explore and revive the ancient understandings and methods of tattooing... for transformation, creation and shifting into a higher vibration... through processes so effective that it seems like Magick... or is it indeed Magick!
This episode I’m talking with master of the traditional Maori art form of Ta Moko... Gordon Toi.
This episode was recorded at Gordons home and private studio in Mapua... in the South Island of New Zealand/Aotearoa.
Gordon shares with us some of his vast knowledge of the origins of Ta Moko, where the lines got their meanings from and the connection to the journey. Gordon being one of the most highly respected practitioners of the Puhoro shares with us its importance as a rite of passage and continued connection to the ancestors.
We touch on how the carved look of the facial tattoos may have been achieved so successfully by the ancestors which present an ancient technology or knowledge that evades us today. The precision and detailed carved effect of the skin shows incredible skill and something we are unsure of achieving today.
Gordon finishes off with words of how important the revival of Ta Moko is and where it can be taken in the future to heal, represent and identify.
