We have borrowed from Maori poi traditions to create our own fire rituals and fire ceremonies. If you're interested in “spinning fire”, “fire dancing”, or “juggling fire”, you've come to the right place.
We hand-craft and sell zuni poi swings, fire poi and flag poi. Our Zuni Poi or Zuni Poi Swings are made of made of light-weight sail-cloth, have tails, and glow under blacklight.
