If a seer disregarded a rule of tapu, he at once lost his power of second sight and became kahupo, or spiritually blind—that is, he would be unable to see the portents and signs by means of which the gods warn man of dangers that threaten him, and enable him to peer into the future. It is a singular fact, and one frequently noted by European sojourners among the natives, that a Maori can “die whenever he wants to,” as some put it. This means that when a native believes that he is stricken by, say, a spell of black magic he is almost assuredly doomed, and will not live long.

The word tapu is often explained as bearing the meaning of “sacred,” but that may be said to be one of its minor or secondary meanings. The term always implies a prohibition, and the rules of tapu are practically a series of prohibitions. A tapu place is a probibited place; a tapu person is a person who must keep aloof from others; a tapu house cannot be used for common purposes, as cooking or eating. To pollute any tapu place or person, as by

contact with cooked food, is a serious matter, and places the offender in a very dangerous predicament. It is dangerous because he has offended the gods, and until he has, through the services of a tohunga, placated such gods, his life is in danger. Another phase of tapu is represented by such conditions as are termed “unclean” in the Scriptures. The gods represent the vital power and force of all tapu, they are the backbone of the system, and fear of the gods was the strongest force in Maori life.

The removal of a condition of tapu from place or person was an act that involved some peculiar ceremonies and the recitation of certain formulae. These acts of purification were deemed to be of great importance, and indeed were absolutely necessary, so genuine was the belief in the powers of supernormal beings. The ceremonial lifting of tapu from a newly constructed fortified village or a new house was an impressive act, and included some remarkable ritual chants. The release of a bird during such a rite finds its parallel in India, and tapu was a marked feature of the cultus of Zoroaster, as it is of Indian religions.

The condition of tapu of so pronounced a form as to prevent a person touching food with his hands was not an uncommon occurrence in Maoriland. Such a person was helpless at meal-times, and had to be fed by another, while he had to be particularly careful to avoid pollution of his tapu, a misfortune that might entail the most serious consequences. The head was the most tapu part of a person, and should a very tapu person happen to scratch his head with his fingers, that hand at once became useless, and could not be used until purified—i.e., rendered noa, or free of tapu. If such a person blew a fire in order to make it burn, that fire was thereby rendered tapu, and could not be used for any ordinary purposes. Tapu represents the mana or power of the gods, and is not to be trifled with. It may be said to have possessed a moral force that no other system or institution could have exerted. Montgomery puts this well in his Religions, Past and Present: “Taboo is an important aspect of the phenomena of religion, influencing primitive ethical and social behaviour in general to an extent that makes it in some regions as broad a concept as that of religion itself.”

In the rumours of the lost rooms
And the passages of the ice aged
Heart of the old young world,
Confusion heaps on confusion.
He is a subtle postman comes,
And light laughs
In the corner of his garden’s face,
Hinting that behind,

And in his singular brain,
His envelope encloses
His moral mind, folded,
And impossible to undo
With your voice only.

And, then, you ask:
What is this inside this
And that which resides in that?

Nothing will ever reply,

Even the silence is a lie:

But we struggle,
Stone by bloody stone -
Stunned by our words,
Dumbed by the casual
Horror: numbed by our love,

Bitter, alone in this pacing place:

Alone in this light tormented place.

But night falls in the footfalled
Halls, where the monks tread
In holy mesmery. What are these monks?

Scribing the passages
Of time and what they think has been
Or what will come,
What tricks of fear
That grow the ghosts
Who stretch and die

That more blood be shed.

Fools! But so beautiful
Are their miraculous brains, so subtle:

That we remember Bach, and his holy
enrichment of the dark.
