I'll admit I knew very little about Matariki before it was made a public holiday, but I've been reading about it recently and it's fascinating. I'm intending to put a few posts up about it as we get closer to the celebration period. I think one of them will be about the meaning of the individual stars. But I'll probably start off with a guide about how kiwis of all ethnicities can celebrate Matariki.

Back in the day I wrote hundreds ~~thousands~~ of Wikipedia articles and I kind of miss reading about something in depth, distilling the key info and then summarising it. No idea why I enjoy it, but I hope other people get something out of it.

Edit: Looking back on my edit history, there weren't actually thousands I wrote from scratch, more like a few hundred. I made tens of thousands of edits which is where I must be getting mixed up.
