... Up to the
present time, fertility spells for fowls have played an
important role. Especially effective were the so-called 'chicken
skulls' (puoko moa) - that is, the skulls of dead chiefs,
often marked by incisions, that were considered a source of
mana. Their task is explained as follows: 'The skulls of the
chiefs are for the chicken, so that thousands may be born' (te
puoko ariki mo te moa, mo topa o te piere) ... As long
as the source of mana is kept in the house, the hens are
impregnated (he rei te moa i te uha), they lay eggs (he
ne'ine'i te uha i te mamari), and the chicks are hatched (he
topa te maanga). After a period of time, the beneficial
skull has to be removed, because otherwise the hens become
exhausted from laying eggs.
