I’ve created a web based version of my maramataka which is a custom calendar. These are easy to create for yourself if you are interested in mapping out your own maramataka. Although it’s a handy guide it does actually have some obvious issues like not actually being connected to the environment, so the best way to know the lunar phase is to just go outside and look at the moon, but for the sake of learning the phase patterns and saving you walk 20 or so steps to get outside at night, it’s convenient.
In terms of whakapapa I have used the maramataka naming conventions published by Rangi Matamua for his work around Te Iwi o Matariki so that it coincides with our work at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. Mapping has been aligned with the lunar phases. The baseline kōrero used against each day is a combination of rangahau based on the ‘Māori division of time’ by Elsdon Best (originally published in 1922), studies in wānanga Te Wānanga o Aotearoa’s Diploma in Rongoā Māori and mātauranga shared by various mātanga. Special thanks to Meretini Bennett-Huxtable. The gardening content is Waikato based and I am using this to achieve good results results in the garden.

I have really enjoyed using this over the past year, just wondering if you are going to extend it?
