TANGAROA
Maori Sea God
Also known as Takaroa
God of the Sea. He also seems to be the God of Fishermen
Married to Fertility Goddess Faumea, Tangaroa is often depicted with only three fingers on each hand. Does this ensure good bites, or has he succumbed to Walt Disneyfication?
Maybe we’ve got our lines tangled as other accounts make him responsible for everything colored red. But he may also be Ta’aroa, Tagaro or Tagaloa, or not, and one of these may be responsible for redness. Surely the Demas and Darvi brought redness to the land?
