Te Ara O Te Honu - Path of The Turtle

Product Name:

“Te Ara o te Honu – Path of the Turtle”

Story Background:

In Māori tradition, the honu (sea turtle) is a sacred kaitiaki — a guardian and symbol of navigation, endurance, and peace. The turtle’s journey across vast oceans represents our own life voyage — the balance between strength and serenity, the connection between land and sea, past and future.

The intricate koru-inspired patterns engraved on this lamp represent growth, harmony, and the eternal cycle of life. Each spiral flows like the ocean currents guiding the honu safely home, while the central line signifies whakapapa — the lineage that connects us to our ancestors and those who will follow.

When illuminated, the light symbolizes wairua (spirit) — a gentle reminder that even in darkness, guidance and peace are found within.
