Karakia - May the Sun Blessing

Karakia - May the Sun Blessing

May the sun bring you energy by day,

May the moon softly restore you by night,

May the rain wash away your worries,

May the wind blow new strength into your being.

May you walk on this earth in peace all the days of your life, and know it's beauty forever and ever.

~ Ma te ra e kawe mai, te ngoi ia ra ia ra,

Ma te marama e whakaora ia koei waenga po.

Ma te ua e horoi ou maharahara.

Ma te hau e pupuhi te pakahukahu ki roto i to tinana.

I roto i ou hikoitanga i te ao kia whakaaro koe 

ki te humarie ataahua hoki o ou ra 

mo ake tonu atu.

Softly coloured pīwakawaka fly above this karakia, they carry a blessing of energy, renewal, peace, and strength. 

A thoughtful gift for weddings, birthdays, new homes, housewarmings, or as a farewell for someone beginning a new journey.

- This is an Apache blessing with te reo Maori and English translation.
