In Hawaiian mythology Kanaloa is the god of the ocean and
the ocean winds. He is one of the four major gods of Hawaii : Kane, Kanaloa, Ku and Lono. Kanaloa
was strongly connected with Kane, the creator of all life. When the people in old
Hawaiians built a canoe, they would invoke Kane's blessing for the building
and Kanaloa's for its sailing.
On their journeys together Kanaloa and Kane would share the
sacred drink of 'Awa (drink of the gods). Striking the ground with their staffs
they caused hidden springs of fresh water to burst forth.
Ki'is (statues) show Kanaloa wearing a headdress that
touches the ground connecting the conscious and unconscious mind, integrating
the upper and lower selves.
Statues of Kanaloa feature him with round eyes, unlike those
of any other representations of the gods. According to a Kauai
tradition, if you could look into the eye of Kanaloa you would see the symbol
of Pono (goodness) and be healed. Kanaloa is a healer god. One of his Kinolaus
(forms) is the He'e (octopus), which was believed to make sickness flee.
Ka-na-loa means 'grounded'. Kanaloa reminds us that a solid
foundation brings security, strength and healing.
The great Hawaiian healing Ocean God inspired the creation
of the Hawaiian Ocean Scene.
