TAPU (By SimoTheFinlandized - 2022 CE)

TAPU (By SimoTheFinlandized - 2022 CE) | Inextricably linked to the concept of 
mana, tapu is loosely translated as 
“holiness” or “sacredness”, and may 
also imply prohibition, and thus is 
the source of the loan word “taboo”. 
Things that are tapu are sacrosanct 
and may not be disturbed or will suffer 
desecration and a loss of their mana. 
Breaking tapu was a serious matter 
and severely punished in most 
Polynesian cultures. | image tagged in simothefinlandized,polynesia,culture,morality | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
