Tawhaki

A hero-god of the lightning and the higher skies, Tawhaki climbed the vine of the heavens to find his celestial wife and bring the gift of sacred knowledge back to earth. He is often associated with the flash of the thunderstorm and the sudden inspiration that strikes the mind of the seer. His journey represents the vertical aspiration of the human soul, the drive to ascend the layers of reality to touch the divine source. He is the master of the heavenly stair, the one who proved that a mortal lineage could reclaim its place among the stars.
