Introducing My Digital Maramataka
A Modern Tool for Traditional Knowledge
I am thrilled to share a project that I have been passionately working on – a digital maramataka mapped out into a specific Google Calendar instance. This innovative tool brings together my research and observations of the maramataka, the traditional Māori lunar calendar, in a modern, accessible format.
What is the Maramataka?
The maramataka is the Māori lunar calendar, which guides various activities based on the phases of the moon. Traditionally, it informs aspects like planting, fishing, and social activities, aligning these with the lunar cycles to ensure harmony and efficiency.
About My Digital Maramataka
I have meticulously mapped each day of the maramataka into a Google Calendar, with every day featuring a related lunar phase and detailed explanations of its significance. These entries include my personal observations and insights, as well as practical gardening information tailored to my specific area. This personalized touch aims to help others develop their own maramataka based on their unique environments and needs.
Features and Benefits
- Daily Lunar Phases: Each day in the calendar highlights the corresponding lunar phase and its traditional significance.
- Personal Observations: Gain insights from my own experiences and research, providing practical applications and deeper understanding.
- Gardening Information: Learn about optimal planting and harvesting times specific to my region, which can be adapted to your own locality.
- Google Calendar Integration: The digital maramataka utilizes the Google Calendar platform, offering all the standard functions such as syncing with Outlook, iPhone, and other systems. This ensures you can easily incorporate it into your daily routine.
