It has come to my attention that Tumatuenga, Tu of the Angry, Tu, Destroyer of Armies may be a God that has called me. His being both a God of War and Balance are things I desperately need in my life. In addition He is a Wearer of Masks which is something I am currently struggling with as I feel I wear a lot of Masks and am hiding who I am.
However I am coming up short on any kinda of reliable sources on him. I am sure I am missing some information on Him MOST especially sacrifices that would be proper to Him.

I have absolutely no knowledge or experience of the Maori gods, and I don't know anyone who does. I also don't know if this is a closed culture, or one that requires ancestry to practice. I think (for whatever reason) that it is, similar to how Native traditions in North America are are generally closed to non-Natives except by adoption into peoples by elders.

I am honestly unsure as well. I had hoped that maybe Sang knew something.

not sure how reliable this is, but it might help so, you might just have to try something to see how it feels.
