Maria BrookeNARRATOR
In Papa's garden, which was the land, no flowers grew, nor trees, nothing but strange half-grown plants whose leaves were flattened as they pressed against the great Rangi's arms.
Maria BrookeNARRATOR

In the low, dark garden lived six sons, knowing nothing of the light, but wondering much what lay outside, and longing as they grew to stretch themselves and stand upright.
Maria BrookeNARRATOR

Jordan MockingbirdGUEST
But to clarify what that is and how I understand it and what I've seen there, the simple balancing of those two is that Oak is the great father and Birch is the great mother.
Jordan MockingbirdGUEST
And so you look at the pairings of those, you go, okay, Oak, Skyfather, Yahweh, Thor, Zeus, Varuna, Indra, Perun.
Jordan MockingbirdGUEST
And you look at Birch, and she's the great mother goddesses of old Europe.

Hilary OxleyGUEST
Women, wāhine, have always been ref- revered as te whare tangata, the house of humanity, precisely because only women possess the distinct physiological capacity to bring forth human life.
Hilary OxleyGUEST
Menstruation, pregnancy, and childbirth are states of absolute tapu, uh, which is sacrosanct, which means that clear boundaries and physical separation from men to preserve the material and inviolable safety of the house of humanity, and that recognizes that women and men are different and need to be distinct and at times separate.
