This ancient pūrākau tells of Tawhaitu, a woman taken by Whanawhana, a chief of the Patupaiarehe, who uses magic and music to place her under his spell. With the help of a tohunga, Tawhaitu and her husband Ruarangi create powerful spiritual protections using karakia, kōkōwai, and ritual practices, breaking the enchantment and freeing her from the fairy chief’s control.
