Harvest Moon Day!!
Polynesians summons Papa to help in all earthly matters. She is, in fact, the earth mother who gave birth to all things by making love to the sky. To this day, the earth and the sky remain lovers, the sky giving its beloved rain for fertilization and life.
Papa is sometimes known by the alternative title "Papa Raharaha, meaning 'supporting rock," through which she provides foundations and sustenance for our body, mind and spirit.
