摘选自《波利尼西亚学会杂志》(Journal of the Polynesian Society)第172-184页。
在过去的许多年里,学术界有积累了大量关于 Makutu 巫术的笔记,然而它们中的大多数再也无法从现实社会中收集到了。年长的毛利人们都是Makutu 巫术的忠实信徒,并不断害怕它对自己的影响;从我们掌握的信息中可以看出,只要被迷惑的人真的知道这种巫术是会在他身上实现的,它就会产生非常严重的后果。就目前所知,这是Makutu 巫术成功的必要条件。在下文提到的某些情况下,它会影响受害者的思想,有着相当强大的自我暗示,与身体相互作用并导致死亡。如果毛利人一旦想到他会死,他肯定会这样做——可以给出许许多多的实例。
DURING many years past a considerable number of notes on makutu, or witchcraft, have been accumulated, which should be on record, for most of them could never be collected again. The old Maoris were great believers in makutu, and constantly dreaded its effects on themselves; and it would appear from the information we have, that it really had very serious results so long as the person to be bewitched actually knew that the art was being practised on him. So far as can be made out this was an essential condition to the success of the operation, except in certain cases mentioned below. It affected the mind of the victim, and acted as a powerful auto-suggestion, interacting on the physical body and causing death. If a Maori once got the idea into his head that he was going to die, he certainly would do so—of which many illustrations could be given. |

看到还没有小伙伴发毛利人巫术相关的资料,所以就分享一下这篇不错的文章给大家~
文章的原标题其实是<The Evils Of Makutu, Or Witchcraft>,中文译名为《马库图巫术的邪恶》。
但是决定用《毛利人巫术马库图》这个标题,是因为网上关于马库图的资料实在是太太太少了,目前找到的资料就只有这篇,暂也只能凭借这篇文章以管中窥豹之态,去了解新西兰原住民即毛利人的巫术。
关于毛利人的宗教信仰、艺术,搬运了另一篇《Art, Belief and Experience in the Maori of New Zealand》,感兴趣的小伙伴们也可以去看看~
