Intuitive ritual: A mana wahine sourcebook, written by Kaupapa Māori scholar, Dr Ngahuia Murphy, is a curation of rituals, chants, poetry, meditations, writings and creative exercises to inspire Māori and other Indigenous women to craft their own personal ceremonial practices of devotion.

The writings are an offering to the Atua Wāhine and can be read and applied by anyone interested in deepening connection with them through the portal of their own intuitive wisdom.

Praise for the new book

Intuitive Ritual: A Mana Wahine Sourcebook is an act of love, service and legacy. It’s an act of Revolution. A revolution isn’t just slogans, flag flying and rhetoric. It’s ears, eyes, minds and hearts. A full body experience. Intuitive Ritual A Mana Wahine Sourcebook is a full body experience. In Intuitive Ritual A Mana Wahine Sourcebook, Ngāhuia Murphy combines academic rigour with heart-centred, tīpuna grounded practice and creativity and in doing so births a third space, where Indigenous scholarship exists equally alongside poetry and artistic endeavour.” Dr Maraea Rakuraku, playwright & poet. 

"Intuitive Ritual A Mana Wahine Sourcebook is a deep, tender and revealing return to our sovereign selves. A reverent homecoming. A rekindling of whakapapa connections to our Atua wāhine. A scintillating, sensual suite of supreme mana wahine sacred practices. A portal to our Atua wāhine which serve as compasses from the past to the present allowing us to understand who we once were and empowering us to become who we are meant to be... I envisage every mana wahine will seek out, obtain and use the wisdoms of this taonga for generations to come." Te Huamānuka Crown, Rise Global Collective.

"Page by page parts of myself became awakened... Intuitive Ritual he taonga oranga mō rātou, mō mātou, mō ngā kōhunahuna ... Ngahuia, I missed the guidance of your words during my transition from Kōhine to Wahine, but I am excited now for my transition from Wahine into Ruahine." Maisey Rika, Singer, songwriter.

"E rere ana taku mihi ki tēnei uri o Hinekura, ki tēnei mokopuna a Tangiharuru, me kore ake koe Ngāhuia ka ngaro haere ēnei rongoā ki ngā wāhine, o nāianei. Huge appreciation to this descendant of Hinekura, this mokopuna of Tangiharuru, without you Ngāhuia these healing practices for women of today's contemporary world would become more and more obscured." Dr Hinemoa Elder.
