Awa Wahine is more than a magazine; it’s a korowai of kōrero and toi to resonate with your ngākau and light a fire in your puku—lovingly crafted by Indigenous writers and artists. Perfect for readers who love inspiring, culturally rich storytelling.
In our sixth issue, Auaha: Shape & Create, we delve into the transformative magic of creation in its many forms. Guided by kaiwāwāhi matua Ataria Sharman, this issue explores the witchy and powerful ways we shape our realities—reconnecting with marae, reading the whetū, connecting with atua, or nurturing artistic expression.
This is arguably our most enchanting issue, with striking cover art by Christina Rena of Hinerangiora, The Astral Healer, and Te Metamorphosis of Hine. It also includes an astrological guide through the seasonal shift to Hine Raumati by resident astrologer and witch Saskia Sassen, a roundtable interview on the witch archetype in literature with authors Claire Mabey and Cassie Hart, and evocative essays by Eartha Davis and Sneha Singh.
