MATAKITE : look into the future.

A day to enjoy Claivoyancy and Tarot card readings.

Saturday June 26th . Between 10am-230pm

Booking are essential. Contact : haka@dsseven.co.nz

“Matakite has been translated as meaning Clairvoyance but often encompasses other senses as well. For many Maori the ability to see into the future, the past, the present is a common occurrence. It is part and parcel of who we are and it is an acknowledgement of who has gone before us and that our tupuna (ancestors) have attained a status and mana (power) that far exceeds our own as physical entities in this physical world ”. wai-shaman.com

Our experienced claivoyant first realised her talent after the birth of her first child and that near death experience. She put these talents on hold to focus on her family and career however twenty years on and upon her marriage break up the calling became much stronger. She has worked psychic lines in Australia, hosted “party readings” for 7-8 people at a time and also held one on one sessions over the last thirty years. Wendy Tawhiao, with your permission is able to impart wisdoms and answer your questions shedding light on your bright future.

For both options a flat fee of $40 NZD is required prior to or on the day

Or either tarot or reading $20 for a one on one session.

Booking are essential. haka@dsseven.co.nz. 021 107 0345. Prices in New Zealand Currency
